Thanks! Do you know if they are heavier or lighter than the OEM's?

Those are drag radials man, unless your trying to get into a new sort of tracking, these wouldn't work so well on the road course. Nitto does make the NT05 as their streatable track tire or you can use their NT01 r-comp. I used the NT05 before they had great dry grip but were less than ideal in the wet.

They shipped the wheels in two separate boxes, each box weighed 57lbs, I haven't weighed them yet but I'm assuming the weigh about 22-25lbs each, I will weigh them when I get home and post up the results. I know the regular face wheels would weigh less due to less material

Very nice!

Look forward to seeing them fitted.

Always good to see something different.

I delt with Matt, he is a great guy to work with. It initially took longer than expected but Matt was straight up the customer service was spot on and will not be my only set they make for me.

What tires size are you going to run with your new wheels? Any fender mods?

I'm debating on Kuhmo's 255 or 265/30r19 up front, and 295/25r19 on the back. I have my rears rolled and pulled.

Isn't 295/30/19 better since its exact oem OD? 25 is shorter?

I know it's shorter than oem specs but I want a shorter sidewall so I don't have major rubbing issues with my drop. Also I might run a 305 in the back just not sure yet. I don't want to run a stretched tire anymore, if I have to raise the rear some I'm going to. I know semnosNSX i need to get them mounted but my 2jz swap in my RX7 is killing my wallet, but hopefully next week they will be mounted.
