Default A-Tech Finalspeed Group Buy (ITR Specific......that's why it is here)

I have been selling the A-Tech Finalspeed 15x7 rims in the Sponsor Marketplace for a couple weeks now. I had a lot of people asking for 5x114.3 bolt pattern so I started a GB.....well, not enough people are joining in. SO, I am posting here to inform the ITR community of the GB, in the hopes that we can get the thing going!

I can get 5x114.3 15"x7".

I need them to be made. These are not in stock and need to be manufactured. So, this is a really special deal, and a legit group buy. Not a sale disguised as a GB....

14 people need to get in on it. The downpayment is $300, and the balance of $200+shipping($40) is due on arrival. The total becomes $540 shipped or $500 picked up. I will accept paypal or money orders.

Colors are going to be 2 different colors. White, Silver, and Bronze are the choices, and it looks as though most people would want sliver or bronze, but let me know!

I will order them when the 14 down payments are made. The wait will be 8 weeks is from the time I order. This time is to set up and cast the wheels, to ship from Japan, and time for me to collect the balance from you. Shipping to you will be UPS Ground, less than 4 days to most domestic cities.

Lug nuts are not included in the 5x114.3 deal, but I will make a very special price for Zenki Racing lugs and stems for buyers in the GB who want them. Please do not let the lug nuts be your deciding factor on this GB. If you want the wheels, get them now, and the lugs will come to you at a very good price, I promise!

Call or IM me if you have any questions, thanks

Please don't immediately delete this message. I need ITR owners to get this done. There simply is not a highenough concentration of you in the Sponsor Marketplace.

Here is the link to the original sale:
https://honda-tech.com/zero...age=1
Here is a link to the Finalspeed site on Heeltoe Automotive:
http://www.heeltoeauto.com/mar...x.htm
(all pics are clickable) As you can see, these wheels in this bolt pattern are NOT available in 15", only 17". If you would like 17", I will give special H-T pricing. IM me if interested.
Here is the page where the lug nuts are:
http://www.heeltoeauto.com/mar...x.htm
They even come with valve stems. Tite! I sell these for $60+. The price on the lugs will be well under $45 per set.

They are very nice wheels and a very high quality cast and finish. These are on par with 57Cs and FN01RCs.....

Thanks for reading!

If you are special ordering these wheels, can you also do the following things to the wheel?

A. Make it hub-centric. So, we won't have to use a hub-ring adaptor.
B. Make it with other offset (if I were to get 15x7's, I would prefer +40mm offset).
C. Offer black or gunmetal color instead of silver. People still buy silver wheels?

Just my silly ideas.

Good questions:
A: I will ask, but I don't think so...one way or the other, the wheels come with rings.
B: Seems doable...I will again, ask....
C: Don't jump to conclusions here...the silver on these wheels is different than most other silver colors. It is very metallic...the rims almost have a green look to them in the sunlight. Maybe not ideal for Rs, but blue and green colored cars would look really dope with them.

I think to do custom colors we will need more wheels to be preordered. As it is, I am working with the extreme minimum here. Thinkabout it. These wheels do not exist. We are making to only 14 sets. If anyone is that interested, I get a really good deal on powdercoating, so I can take care of a custom color for you, and improve the finish's durability at the same time. It would be an additional $100 per set to do the powdercoating. This includes prepping and powdercoating, as well as my dropping off and picking up. I need 3-4 people to get a custom color if I am going to do this extra step.

I'm interested in getting a set but with winter coming, I have no real urgency to purchase another set of 15x7 for R compounds.

But, if you could either get the wheels hubcentric for ITRs or offer aluminum/metal hubcentric rings at a good price (or throw them in perhaps since the 4 lug guys are getting lugnuts), I'd be interested. Color wise, bronze works for me.

Well, they already come with composite rings. To do billet rings would not only be kinda overkill, it would be expensive...

The thing is its just a real bad-timing.

1. Winter is almost here... that means most MidWest, NE and Mid-Atlantic R owners will be storing their cars.
2. Christmas is almost here... gotta spend money else where.

If you had this group buy for mid-february and had the final product in our door steps by early May, you should see a larger participation from the R owners.
