Its it fully custom, i hope you get rid of the ugly logo in the middle of them and make it flush blending in with the gold color. Other than that cant wait to see them.

i get all sorts of centercaps so i'm sure i'll pick something nice

THansenite

Ben, I think you should use these centercaps.

captainlaziness

^lol

Those rims are gonna be soooooo cool. Can't wait to see 'em.

StealthScion

ummm, can i ask why you're sending your wheels to LA to get mounted and balanced? :D

and you are aware that 24lbs/wheel is not light, right? add on those 19" tires, and you've got a fairly heavy combo.

tC4italy

ahahaha that's what they all asked me when I decided on MY rims
"noooo-why?-ugly!-bleh"

Now they PM me asking me where I got mine

So congratulations on the individuality

nebster

bc thats where the company i bought from is stationed.

and yes 24 lbs / wheels is not light but considering i'm not auto-x'ing or drag racing with these wheels they're pretty good.

and compared to my last wheels it is light lol.

tC4italy

mine are 30 pounds each

nebster

exactly compared to some rims they're extremely light.

and thanks for the complements its been to long for them not to look good

StealthScion

wait, so you bought them from a company in LA, who got them custom made by a company in japan? i get it, so the tires are in LA, just the wheels are coming from japland?

why not just have all the wheels/tires drop-shipped to you, then you just get them mounted and balanced on your own. sounds like you're getting charged twice for shipping by the same company....

how heavy were you last wheels?!!! lol, my wheels are 21.5 + heavy BFG rubber, and i notice the difference

nebster

ACTUALLY

i bought them from a company thats headquarters is in FL but their distribution center is in LA. When you ship a product directly from japan it has to go through customs in japan and in the states. SO when it comes to the states it will go through customs in LA and the distribution center will pick up my tires (coming from holland) and will mount them and then ship them to me FREE OF CHARGE to my home here in iowa.

And my last wheels were almost 35 lbs a piece + rubber. And with the turbo i'm not gonna have problems turning these over lol. And if you bring up braking my willwood kit comes in soon as well so braking wont be a problem either.

StealthScion

so, do you just like wasting money....or, is there something special about these wheels and tires that i'm missing. because as far as i know, holland isn't really known for its tires, and those wheels just look like VOLK knockoffs... and its not like that are a lightweight performance wheel....so, what gives?

did you just want a wheel that no one else has or do you think that spending more on a wheel/tire makes it better? sorry, i'm just confused...

nebster

lolol

yeah i can see that. you let me know where you can get 3 piece forged wheels that are custom tailored to your needs. thats pretty much it for the wheels. they're not known in the scion scene because of their price but they're fairly large in high end z's and g35's as well as supras.

VOLK has nothing on these wheels and the customer service with these guys are amazing. Let me just say i didn't pay as much as you think i did. These tires are amazing and they're very well known in the biking industry (like i stated previously).

But tahts fine you don't have to like them and you can say i'm wasting my money and thats your opinion but they're a fantastic wheel and they have a great reputation. Just because YOU haven't heard of them doesn't make them bad.

StealthScion

and how are they custom...i just found those exact wheels on the website....???

noone else has my wheels.

nebster

dude you don't get it do you?

they're custom fit. meaning backspacing, offset, size and everything was made for my car. the design of the wheel isn't custom but they are made for my car.

if you look at where i got my pic from its your exact link.

StealthScion

dude, HDinc wheels is in FLORIDA! :D lol, what makes u think your wheels came from Japan??? again, sorry, but..... if you're going to brag about getting "fully custom wheels from japan"...i would think you might want to check your facts first.

imo, someone lied to you.

nebster

I SAID THAT YOU DUMBASS.

I SAID THEY'RE HQ IS IN FLORIDA BUT THERE RIMS ARE MADE IN JAPAN.

StealthScion

yeah, i would imagine not too many people are putting staggered/wider wheels on the REAR of their FWD.....

nebster

lol you just don't get it do you.
