I don't know if 16" is a consideration or not. I think they will probably only be released in 17" and 18".

Because of the size of the spokes, I don't think it would look proportional on a 16" wheel.

Bobby12many, I do agree.

This is one of the most postive things about this wheel. You can put one heck of a tire on those things, 17x10 and 18x10!!!

Could you imagine an affordable deep dish wheel that won't require widebody fenders! Unheard of!

i think the spokes should be a bit thinner. its so hard to judge wheels on the net; gotta see em in person. but i do like that design. doesnt make me do a backflip but i did drewl. lol. i do love the lip tho and if ur pricing does come thru on the right foot, u will have a tremendous corner in the market cuz us nissan peeps are tired of paying at least a G for lightweight correct offset wide wheels.

Genious! With good pricing, and 17" 4-luggers option I wouldn't even hesitate to buy 'em. I think they look pretty damn good

Those are 18x9, 18x10 on the S13! For everyone who says 10" wide, not anymore!

They are making some extremely low offsets!

Damn those look mighty sexy I'd buy a set. I'd need 4 Lug too. Any word on possible pricing? 17x10 would look great in the back but i'd only need like 17x 8 or maybe 9 in the front.

Ok, let me explain the situation:

Motegi made three sets for McKinney's Drift Cars. McKinney gave us one of the sets for our demo car. They were supposed to be limited to this.

But, McKinney and I both really like them and are trying to convince Motegi to bring them out to the public. These aren't final versions. The final versions would have clear coated centers and would be much shinier of a gunmetal.

We made this post to see what kind of reaction we might get. We wanted to know if others approved.

Because there are so few wheels offered to the RWD guys offset wise, when we found out about these, we couldn't keep it a secret.

If you guys are seriously interested in these wheels, then we are going to have Motegi take a look at this thread.

The problem is: it would probably take over a thousand sets to be ordered. Which is not really a big deal as it sounds like you guys would buy them.

We're kind of using you as a test sample of the total population of 240SX owners.

I also like them a lot but we need smaller sizes.I think Some of the Infiniti folks would consider them as well, if they were in 17 (a more popualr popular size than 18's there, cuz of the need to maintain higher loadratings on those bigger cars).

Speaking of which, I think a good size for 240SX are 16 and 17 inch wheels.

Even the Fn01R-C's, which I'd rather have the Motegi, list at $230 MSRP. I would expect MSRP to be around $300-350/wheel.

But, I'm talking out my butt, I really don't have much of a definitive price.

Those are sweet! I'd like a silver powder coated center though. Will there be more styles available in these sizes?? 10" wheel in the rear is really what I want, with the 9"s in the front, I love that look. If they made some similar to the Konig Imagines (which is what I have) i'd totally buy them!!

I'm sure eventually, but as for now, this is the only wheel under consideration.
