Arrow Aggressive FD Flush Wheel fitment

I was calling wheel companies because I wanted to get a certain size and offset on wheels and I found a company that makes TE37 replicas, they are willing to make a certain size and offset but they need at least 15-20 people that want the same size/offsets. They asked me to show them proof of interest and then they will consider producing the wheel.

Please dont bash the thread on the topic of "replica wheels" just post your dream size and offset on your DD's. If there is a consensus that want the same size/offset they will make the those wheels. I know some people are looking for aggressive fitment that I am looking for so I figured I'd ask here.

If you can get 10 sets, Rays or SSR will make w/e size offsets you want too.

This is nothing special, and chances are slim to get 10 to 20 people to get such niche sizing when people can order a custom 2 or 3 piece wheel off the bat.

Most of the 1 piece wheels are already available in "aggressive" sizing for stock, pulled/rolled fender Rx7s. 18 x 10.5 + 15 or +18 and 18 x 9.5 + 22 would more than suffice.

You get what you pay for.

theyre "expensive" because you get quality from wheel makers that have been around for years...

go for the cheap ones.. but GL when they crack and break on you.

it's pretty obvious what wheels your looking for..

check out places like zilvia.net, they often have those types of wheels for sale and/or someone is organizing a group buy.

it's lame they only sell the nice sizes in the UK. i'd love to be able to order me some 18x10 +15's for dirt cheap.

I think you need to be more specific if you want other people to buy in...
You didn't list size or offset you want and posting a pic of this "replica" wheel might help you out..

Check out Rbwheels.com. They sell used Japanese racing wheels like "Works" and Volk Racing for good prices sometimes under a grand for 17'' and 18'' in wide sizes, thats where I got mine from. I almost bought "Drag" wheels for mine but i'm glad I asked for advice from this forum first! haha
