Deadleave Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Yeah, I do like the simple design, nice and clean. Very little bling and concave is a plus for me. Will these be cast or forged ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drift Motion Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 Yeah, I do like the simple design, nice and clean. Very little bling and concave is a plus for me. Will these be cast or forged ? Very simple design Matte color for the extra simplicity They will be cast(hence the weight) to keep the cost down Unfortunately, only the 10.5 width will come with concavity suggested price? MSRP should be around $265 each Of course, I will do much better pricing! I'm not suppose to post up my price online. Thus I can give you a quote via PM!

mk6933 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 I'm probably down for R5:F, but I prefer the looks of S6:F. So maybe you can do both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chutrain Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Will these clear BBKs? Bit on the heavy side though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Motion Posted December 22, 2010 Author Share Posted December 22, 2010 They will be designed to clear most of the popular BBKs, Brembo, StopTech and etc. Although not pictured on the Z, he actually have some BBK installed now with the same wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpmarky Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I would get a set of the gunmetal if they were lighter... 18-19lbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockford Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Almost exactly what I've been looking for. Definitely the right size. But I need new wheels like right now and don't think I'd be able to wait. Weight wise, I think anything affordable in this size that isn't more than 1-2 pounds heavier than the stock 17s (21-23 lbs? I forget) is pretty good. Hi, Consider this as a gauging interest thread We are looking to make the FIVE:AD R5:F wheels in a new size, 18x8.5 with ET45-50 range and of course in 5x100 Weight: probably under ~25lb Would you buy it?

Drift Motion Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 bored at work, did a chop of these on MY05 you suck at photoshop xD jk I would get a set of the gunmetal if they were lighter... 18-19lbs well the thing is, we gotta design these wheels for multiple car fitment, that means different offset and bolt pattern, all that adds weight to the wheel I think the lowest these wheels can go is probably 23-24lb, but that's just my ball park estimate Almost exactly what I've been looking for. Definitely the right size. But I need new wheels like right now and don't think I'd be able to wait. Weight wise, I think anything affordable in this size that isn't more than 1-2 pounds heavier than the stock 17s (21-23 lbs? I forget) is pretty good. See the paragraph above. And another thing is 18s will always be heavier than 17s, unless you're talking about cast vs forged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
