fedex guy came today...after so long of wanting and waiting for the cleanest set i could find, i finally stumbled on these recently and thought i'd share my excitement with my fellow itr heads. my brother bought my stock 15s and i dont feel comfortable at all using my mugens for daily ritual, so i am so stoked i found these in such great condition. granted there are some minor curb-checks, but all were in excellent physical shape and now look even better after i touched-up the blemishes with factory touch-up paint. only the lip edges had some scratches. now i just need some tires...

anyway, on to the pics

 

Well done finding such a nice set. Good luck.

 

Nice, I need to find some CW ones.

 

DROOL

 

I'll have a set of those eventually

Wheels look great man, well done finding a fresh set

 

Very nice

 

Best-looking Hype R wheels, period. Very nice.

 

Nice! Thank god they aren't white.

I concur! Nice looking wheels, Arnold.

 

It's Unique to have these, also brake dust won't be that obvious. . .

 

Very nice! The color comes close to mine too.

 

congrats man. now mount them and show us more pics!

 

They look bronze.

yes indeed, it is and WAS a bitch and a half to obtain these. i've seen absolute flawless ones in the past and those are the super rare ones. the champ white version is way more common, so my search for gunmetal ones made the hunt even harder. i'm relieved to have settled on these... not 100% perfect, but considering i'm not the original owner and they came from halfway around the world, i am stunned at how clean they turned out to be

i dont know how soon i'll be able to grab a set or rubber as getting the wheels alone set me back, but i'll post some pics when that day arrives...thanks for the approval guys

 

i want them

 

they look awesome arnold. so what kind of tires are you looking at? looking foward to seeing them on your car.

kepani

 

actually my dream tires for this set would be the oem issue re010 in 16in, but i know i cant have them without spending the loot. i would love to keep the original oem spec, so i think i'll search for ones in 215-45. any suggestions?

Your white balance was probably off a little, causing some of that "bronze" tint.

Congrats on getting the wheels, they look breathtaking. I would literally hesitate to put tires on them... Just put a large sheet of glass on them and make them a table... they will retain their value.

Imagine getting/finding/affording these in 2018? We're coming to a turning point soon......
