My new rims!!! AME Tracer FS-01 18x8 +48 in Hyper Silver

[DiscoWagon]

Just picked up my new rims earlier tonight! Got them through my good friend Henry @ MachIII (http://www.machiii.net/) in San Francisco. They are AME Tracer FS-01s 18x8 +48 (clears Brembos) in Hyper Silver. AME is new in the US but is huge in Japan with the VIP crowd. AME is a subsidiary of Enkei. They are fairly light @ 20lbs, I really like them as they are very unique and rare. To me, they look like a Work Emotion + STI BBS. I will be wrapping them with Bridgestone RE-01Rs 245/40/18 (my dad is a Bridgestone dealer). Henry (who also sells pretty much everything) can be reached at: hchen@machiii.net

On with the pics:

[BlackRock]

I saw these rims on the gruppe-s website the other day and was wondering why no one had them yet. I love them, kudos to you sir, kudos.

Wow! I am impressed. I am excited to see them on your spec-b!

[LowFast]

So what did the 8x18's set you back. I was under the assumption that they are pretty pricey? The doo look sic though, can't wait to see them mounted on the car.

[whiteGDB]

yeah, after seeing nKoan's car I've been debating on getting these wheels as well. Just wasn't sure about going with 17s or 18s. I already knew what they looked like in 17s and now I'll be able to see them in 18s.

Got them through my good friend Henry @ MachIII (http://www.machiii.net/) in San Francisco. <snip> Henry (who also sells pretty much everything) can be reached at: hchen@machiii.net

[axis008]

Holy crap man. That is BEAUTIFUL!!

[whobaru]

Very tasteful. Very clean. Me likey.

[bradlgt21]

What size tire is on there? They look pretty wide. Not quiet 245's maybe 235? Looks like some pretty agressive summer rubber. Not many groves big traction blocks. Me Likey. I love hypersilver I have hypersilver too. Sweet ride man.

[DiscoWagon]

Bridgestone RE-01R 245/40/18

[PGT]

let me know what you think of the tires...I'm about to order a set myself I think. hope the prodrive cans were clean enough...I hit them with wd40 and steel wool to shine them up :)

[Hanger]

O? I thought someone else had dibs on them


hehe, i linked your FS thread to Jon ;)

Thanks again for the Prodrives Dan, they were perfect but a little hard to align. These are the only street tires that I will buy. I have had these on multiple cars and no other street tire can withstand the heat on the track other than the Neova which is quite a bit more. The Neova is great but the RE-01R is better. Hope that helps.

:lol:

:blush: :hide:

[nKoan]

They look awesome in 18" :D I'm starting to wish I did 18, even though I dislike 18s most of the time.

Good work man!

[Gire]

Very Very nice.

I love this rim and it looks great on your sedan.


As soon as I saw them advertised in Super Street Magazine months ago, they have been haunting my dreams. I'd sell a daughter for these!

[Hanger]

^^^lol, then i'd better give your daughter a heads up

[Han'sGT]

me likey. what's the pricey?

[LowFast]

Oh the hotness!

Looks great

good to know. there's a new dunlop that's even less....trying to decide whether to spend the extra $$ on the RE-01's. 100% a street tire for me

[Metal2You]

So 245 tires fit without having to roll any fenders or anything?

[DiscoWagon]

I cut the rears. As for pricing, I can't disclose what I paid for them but if you contact my buddy Henry @ MachIII (hchen@machiii.net), I'm sure he'll give you a great price. Here's Henry's car:
