:werd: Sh*ts turning into vaporware... lol... I also wanna know weights before I order.

I can only imaging that the hold up is caused by XXR totally understimating the demand that popped up for these two sets of wheels and they had to majorly ramp up production. If thats the case, I better order me two 17x9+20 006's so I'll at least have half of my future setup...

Lame, waits blow. I will probably rock some of these, but gotta pick up some coilovers first. FNO1 tracks and 521 dailys? sounds good to me.

they are getting better and better with size/offsets these days...i'd love it if they started making sizes like 17x9+0 17x10+0 staggered setups...its be awesome.

It's funny you say that. I've finally settled in on this 4 lug setup:
17x9+20 006's
17x10+20 526's.
Both in gloss black. I really doubt most ppl will be able to tell they're mismatched wheels.

I figure these are the optimal sizes to run either wide rubber all around (235/40's & 255/40's) or I can go hellaflush (215/40's & 235/40's). I just so happen to have some 20mm spacers laying around that I never thought I'd use again, but this seems like a good excuse to dig them out of storage & dust them off... :naughty:

I really wanted to 18x10.5 526's, but see as how I was can run the same tire widths with either setup, I figure I'll save myself the effort and save myself the extram money I'd spend buying 18" tires... :frown:

^^^Cuz I'm a little eccentric like that. As long as the styles & finishes compliment each other and don't clash, I consider getting the exact sizes/specs that I want to be more important than getting a matching set.

Nope. Just 17x9+35 for 4 lug and 17x9+25 for 5 lug.
But seriously, without careful upclose study, I doubt most ppl would dismiss these two wheels as anything more than a typically staggered setup.

Even if someone notices, I'm not likely to care. I'll be too busy enjoying the fruits of my labor.

Yo simmode. I got some 962's 5 lug. I believe 30/35 offset. What wheel spacers do I need to clear brakes. Yes I know my 17x7's are a whole lotta fail in the front. I will work on that later on. I got some Tanabe Sustec Pro adjustables with 300ztTT brakes in the front.

Thanks,
Bryce

Not to be an a$$hole, but Imma be real with you... I have no idea and I really don't wanna put alot of thought into figuring it out. I'm just guessing 15mm spacers should be safe though. I dunno...
