Hi guys,
Finally I got another set of my favorite wheels in the sizes I wanted for my other FC. They are brand new and 18x9.5+18 and 18x10.5+18. I was looking for them for a lot of time...
Sorry for the big size pictures.

Hypertek 06-20-09 05:44 PM

your gonna get alot of people asking you "are those Rotas?" or "hey I like your Rotas" or "Wanna sell your Rotas?"

lol thats what sucks about these knockoff brands lol

nice wheels tho, classic.

Jeffc3s 06-20-09 06:00 PM

Again with the Rotas.... *Facepalm* lol

He got the size, the width AND the offset... just waiting to see it on his car, I hope he got the coilovers to go with the Combo hehe

17's would probably look better but they are nice wheels.

Rob XX 7 06-20-09 10:57 PM

I thought 18s would look a bit off on a FC, but I have since changed my mind

Gregory Casimir 06-21-09 12:50 AM

thanks guys. Believe me they will not ask me if they are rotas since people here in my country do not use Rotas very much. :-) The 17s are nice but they look too small on the fc that are going on. It will have the Foresight 45mm front and 35mm rear fenders . The car has the original BN sports kit and was imported from Japan like that. I was looking for these sizes for years that is why I paid an arm and a leg for them. It will finish hopefully in a few months so this is when I will put the wheels on. The wheels will be installed on the red one.

Here is my red fc the first day it arrived from Japan with 18 " that had on

Tasos,

You are a very lucky man. If you would've hesistated, I would have never have let those wheels out of my site. Good thing these wheels are going to a good man and its good to know it went to someone who knows how to appreciate these very unique wheels :).

To appreciate these wheels more you have to understand the sizes Tasos acquired are very desirable for today's wheel fitment standards and nearly impossible to get considering Regamaster is no longer. Desmond, the manufacturer of Regamasters had long ago produced wheels in Japan which were of the highest quality. They later sourced production to Russia , which probably did not produce the same type of quality. Spoon wheels or Rotas don't even compare to these. A one-piece step lip ( fat step lip in this case ) is unheard of in the market place. Spoon wheels or Rotas do not have the depth to give as much visual impact as these.

The sizes are extremely rare as I believe the were produced when Regamaster was at its height and these sizes were too aggressive for the time. Even in Japan these sizes are extremely rare. This might be the ONLY set in the U.S to have such sizes. They are now obviously in Cyprus. Not only that... this is a BRAND NEW set. That is unheard of! It is unfathomable. For a person who has gone through some of the best JDM wheels/sizes ever offered to the market, I rank this set VERY high on my list. It is not spoken of often because very few people know that such a set even exist. I don't think I will ever be lucky enough to come across such a beautiful set in my life time. Good luck with the project Tasos! If I were you, I would put them on the black car :)

Ken

thanks for the history lesson =D

Gregory Casimir 07-04-09 03:21 AM

^^^^ ya know lol, hell by the sound of that makes you just wanna put them back in the box and just look at them and be like WOW! then slowly pack it away till next month to repeat the process lol. now you got me search for a set!

raffer 07-04-09 02:16 PM

Awsome wheels ,id be scared to even have them on the car !

RHDturboII 07-04-09 04:51 PM

Hey Ken,
Thanks for the nice words. You are right about these wheels. They are even better looking in person than the pictures. I fell in love with them years ago when I first saw them in a HyperRev video that they were testing FDs from the top tuners in Japan and they were on the yellow Panspeed FD. Back then I was a student at the U of A in AZ and had a TII there. I think it was back in 97-98 when i saw the video. When I moved back home in Europe and got my black fc in 2001 i got my silver set from a some local shop here. I was looking for the particular sizes in 18" for a lot of time and when the opportunity came i jumped on them without any second thoughts.

After I got them, Sam told me that you really wanted these wheels and if I was not going to buy them you told him that you were going to get them. I am sorry that i got them before you. Sam even told me that he was thinking of keeping them for himself. The wheels are back in the boxes and i hesitate to put them on the car :-)

By the way how is the order that my friend Harris placed with you? I haven't seen him in a while and he told me that he was going to call you to arrange payment. Did he do that? Did you make my carbon rear diffuser man and his body parts? I will call him tomorrow and ask him what he did.

Thanks again.

They look good on it bro.

E_Dub 07-05-09 04:28 PM

I want to combine my 5 18x9.5 +18 ones with the 4 18x10.5 +18 ones on Jspec for 2 staggered sets! I only want to keep one set though!

K!NCH 07-06-09 02:50 AM

My favorite wheels, can't wait to see them mounted.
