Those look just like the Advan RG, which was the 6-spoke rim on a C-West FD featured in SCC a couple of months back. The Advan is to much $ for me, though.

I'll be interested to see if they're available in an offset we can use. Thanks for the link.

It's a good wheel for the price, but I know one of our guys has damaged them on the track. What will you be using them for. Ahh and you're close by. I should be able to get you a real good deal on them.

You'd be looking at a 225/45 and 255/40. I am sure an offset is made suiting the FC.

Rishie

I'll crunch some numbers.

Hey Rishie, I am also interested in these rims for an FC. I was thinking 17x8 and 17x9 with 40mm offset. I would need to use up my current set of tires which are all 234/40/17's before going to a wider tire for the rear. Can I put the same size tire on the above sized rims? I terminally bent a discontinued rim but the tires are good so I want to finish themoff. I have tokicos with 2.5 inch springs and a GC coil over kit. I would eventually want 255/40's on the rear. I am ready to talk numbers on the silver and black or another recommendation. You can PM me.

Rishie, I think you have two people interested in this wheel. Can you post our options and availability based on the questions. Feel free to PM me on the prices. I am also interested in the silver.

Thanks

I thought that was more of a ricer wheel company. And i just realized that they may not be. I think any wheel company that has sizes over 8" wide is not a ricer company. I now have a new outlook for that company, how many other wheels do they make wider than 8"? I like that top one.

Rishie, didn't know you were out. Just wanted to make sure you saw the post. I know this is more work because I do it all the time for my clients. I was hoping you could also provide quotes for the Enkie RPO1's and the Enkie RPM2's in the same size as the Black Racing. (if fitment is available) These wheels will be for mostly street use so if one works best for that application, let me know. I am trying to balance cost, function, weight and looks. I just dumped too much money into bodywork from an accident, for this to be the ultimate set of wheels.

Thanks for your help.

By the way, you would be shipping to Cincinnati.

Thanks for your help.

Thank goodness Rishie is back. I'm also interested in them for my FC in 17x8, 17x9. I can't find a place that has them in stock, though. 6-8 week wait & wheelmax isn't planning on getting any more for FC fitment last I checked (earlier this week). I am concerned a bit about your damage from track use comment, though. I probably won't see any track time for a while, but would hate to damage a wheel if I should get out there. Check your PM's.

Wow! That looks like a really nice wheel and an even better price. Rishie when you get the pricing of the 17x8 and 17x9 for fc let me know. these would probably be a lot cheaper than the 57c or 57f.

Hmm i was thinking of getting these rims too. I want them in Bronze, if you look at black racings Japanese site they have a pic of the rims on a FD. Looks good: http://www.arw.co.jp/wheels/brn1.html
When i went to check the rims out at my local speed shop, they were heavy... well i was comparing them to a 18" Volk LE37, which weight about 18lbs. and the 18" Pro N1s were at least 5lbs heavier. My guess just from lifting them was about 24-26lbs for 18s. heavy. Good luck tho.
