Falken Hanabi Wheel - yeah or Neah
They will be strictly for track (non-drag) use only. These are somewhat lightweight (11 lb. per edge racing) - anyone have experience with them? I plan to get those plus RT-615 sounds like a good deal at about 770 shipped.

example?
slips - 12 lbs
spoons - 8 lbs
dont think so
hanabis are on my top list for cheap track wheels, and theyr also different

Re: Falken Hanabi Wheel - yeah or Neah (Just_LS)
one full year on my hanabis. 15x7. daily driven, and about 15 autocrosses.
they are holding up fine.
and they actually are 11 lbs. weighed them when i got them.
another option, slightly more expensive. Enkei RPF1 15x7. about 9.5 lbs. $185 each. Just got some this week and I licked them all over they were so sexy.
cheaper then a light forged wheel (volk te37), half the price, and about same weight.
i guess i'm just not a baller. no reason to spend $400 per rim unless you need a custom size.

Re: Falken Hanabi Wheel - yeah or Neah (Just_LS)
sorry for resurrecting this thread. I really want to know how well they hold up to stress. I heard of the Konig Helium, a 10.5lb rim breaking in mid corner due to stress on the track and I really don't want that happening to me with the hanabi's. I am debating bling bling eye candy enkei rpf1 or cheap hanabi with uncertain future. I no longer consider my integra an investment, but I still wish to track it. If I can get away with the cheaper hanabi, then that's what I'll get. Thank you HT.
