They look nice, but how come you got different colors for front and back?

Damn guys, is that the Face II Beast JS-7 made by Stern? Golden Apple doesn't produce that wheel, they just import it.

I totally distribute the ADR and Stern lines imported by GA. By the way, just to make you feel better, your forum deal on this would have been around $2250.00 shipped. ADR wheels and the RS limited lines they carry are the Taiwanese lines. Stern is their one really good line that they got for import.

They make 10.5" too, nice for Supra guys. But I had no idea that they were that light. I thought they'd be much heavier. Golden Apple has a very nice showroom, usually a phat car parked inside whenever I stop by to pick up rims.

In any case, at least some guys know that we can get you forum guys killer deals on almost any wheel.

If I bought three sets of these wheels, I could get them to you for around $2050.00 shipped. Pretty crazy, huh? Please let me know if anyone's interested in these wheels. **** I'm gonna start weighing all the Stern wheels to see what's up. I've seen Magnesium wheels on display over there too.

For less you could get a multipiece Volk too, but this may separate you from the crowd. Congrats!!!!

Cool I like the clean look of RPW's Face I Beasts

I don't care for rivetted wheels. The Face I Beasts that RPW has on his "silver bullet" have no rivets, and note how clean his car looks! The rivets would have made his car look "over the top" and "cliche"

At 16.8 lbs for a 17-inch makes them fairly light too. Don't know what width, offset, and tires RPW's running. Looks great on his car though!

I wonder if the Face I Beasts would look good on my Vintage Red '93 R1 sans the aero body kit??

RPW and ARD T2, check your PMs

Or did you need centering rings?

What width and offsets did you end up with the one-pieces--I guess they're called Stern Face I Beasts?
