So just to get it to sit on the top of the tread, I need to automatically lower it at least another inch. Can you get 175/50/15 tires? Those are pretty similar, just less stretch.

As for the bolts, I dont believe these are still available, but websites like imadeskidmarks.com sells aftermarket hardware that you can gold plate. As for the wheels, just like any set, condition, specs and how complete they are will determine the price. I see these go from $1,000-$3,000. Most with average size/offset in fair shape will go for $1200-$1800. Just depends what a person wants to pay!

Hi Sir, Thank you again, The least size I can get is 165X65X15 Nankangs and still they are a bit expensive and hard to find(by order), I haven't seen any 175X50X15s here. the rear gaps still looks cool, Its actually unnoticeable. Now I am starting to fall in love with EF's.........and they are rare and sought after here as well.....that color is really amazing.

I have check Imadeskidmarks website, most of their item are for SSR mesh and BBS. that gold short cap is 100$ each wow! amazing!

Thanks again for the complete information Sir!

Made me feel like a tool. I figured they were a single production set for a JGTC car, etc..

Wow, really? I would like to know if they are legit forged wheels even if they are not SSR's. They are still pretty cool.

And thanks, I've been wanting a set for years and the opportunity to get a NOS set and a great price fell in my lap so I jumped on it like any true wheel ***** would do! Hahaha

To be honest, the pictures are hard to judge by. But, if I had to guess given its origin, I'd say cast.

You mean since the pics are from a Philippines site that they are probably inferior materials like maybe Rota would use?

Even though I am a wheel junkie and hate rotas, I would rock these cause at least they are not copies of another wheels.
Well, at least I have not seen any exactly like those.... and I've seen allot of wheels.

Well...I suppose it depends on how close to each one of those numbers it truly was, but considering new MK series wheels are $500+/ rim and these are discontinued I would say GREAT DEAL!

Ya, I got a fantastic deal on these. I still can't believe it.
I jumped on it without a hesitation.
Dude even offered a payment plan which I took advantage of.

Definitely. The sad truth, is that there's hardly any foundries in the Philippines that even bother with forging alloys.

The design reminds me of some older Compomotive and Gotti designs.

I remember reading somewhere that there are very few forges on the planet with the capability of forging wheels, you can probably count them on just two hands. I think there are maybe two forges in the entire United States, one is capable of producing wheels for sure (Alcoa). I am not sure about the other.

I doubt there's even ONE forge in the Phillippines. I've been wrong before though..

Edit: I think you can obtain forged wheel "blanks", and have them CNC machined to specifications. Maybe that's what those bronze wheels are? I dunno..
