So what is the best price y'all have found on these. We will be conducting a group buy on these starting next week.

Thanks, Rishie

t04rx7, are those 17's? What offset and width? Black or bronze (kinda hard to tell). They look nice. Looks like a flat or low-gloss finish.

BTW. here are Pro N-1 specs (sizes, offsets) on the Black Racing website:

Thanks for the pic, t04rx7

Best price I was quoted for FC fitment was through wheeloptions.com @ $880 shipped for 17x8/17x9. Best quote for rim/tire package is at www.wheelmax.com @ $1215. Wheelmax's package runs a 245/45 on the rears, though & the price is for Kumho tires.

Rishie- could you elaborate on the statement you made above in regards to damge from track use?

Also, I'd like mine in silver w/Yoko's on 'em.

No problem. Actually Cossie on the board is the one who mentioned to me I believe. I will talk to him tommorrow and see what he says.

Peace, Rishie

Cool, we can beat that price. I'll finalize things and we'll go from there.

Thank you, thank you , thank you. I'd been looking everywhere for these & no one seems to have a solid answer on availability. I know you've been swamped & backlogged going through your PM's & such. I was really considering going with some Typhoons as the rims are the only thing holding me back from getting the paint done on my project & I could get a hold of them cheap & easy. Very glad to see a GB coming!

they are 18x8, 18x9. the wheel has a small center section so they look smaller than they actually are. I've seen the 17's also and they look more like 16's. You really can't beat the price though, I think I paid about $1900 shipped for the whole package w/ 235/40 & 265/35 bridgestone s03's from wheeloptions mounted & balanced. the offset is +38 all around. Maybe this pic will give you a better idea of the finish, although the flash makes it look more glossy than it is. sorry for the large image; I'm too lazy to resize it.

Rishie, count me in on the group buy on these. We PM'ed each other last week on this wheel and the Enkei RPM2. With group buy pricing, this wheel should be priced right for me. I have changed my mind on color though and will take the black ones. 17x8 and 17x 9 in the correct offset for an FC. For those who have them, have they performed well on the street? i.e. do they bend easy or just out of stupidity? For the rest interested in a group buy, chime in so Rishie can negotiate the best price possible.

You rock Rishie!

Pro N1's for an FC

i would also be interested in buying a set of 17x8fronts w/ 225/45/17's and 17x9rears w/ 255/40/17's in the black finish for my t2 with intrax springs. i still havent found anyone that can tell me what offsets i need for this setup. or if even if this is possible w/o coil overs. when i do i will be ready to buy.
what tires are offered in the group buy?
when will the black wheel be availible?
how much?

I'm going with the "I'm not being ignored, he's just really busy" concept now. I'll try & call him if there's nothing posted either here or in his sub-forum. I'm starting to get a wee bit impatient.

Staggered meaning wider in the rear. Symmetrical meaning the same size all around so you can rotate.

Rishie

These wheels are a special order item and will take 60days to arrive.

wezz,

actually I just put a side view in my sig. as you can see, the wheels really show off the brakes, so cross-drilled rotors are a must! let me know what you guys think..
