WOW! Gorgeous. And as you said, suspension mods will make it all the better! Because you have now given me another mod to add to the want list... if you don't mind me asking, how much, including the deep rear lip?

mmmm niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice...
Looks good. You are gonna need to slam that thing to get it to look right. Hope you pockets are planning for coilovers. Those rims are hot. I just wish they weighed less.

They look great. Be very careful when parallel parking - I would have scratches on them very quickly.
Where'd you get those weight #s from? That sounds very light to me.

You need to get a srop, but you already knew that!
Looks really good though. So since your wheel locks aren't here yet, where exactly do you live?

Also, the RS-GT wheel is heavier than the RS-R wheel. The RS-GT is a two-piece wheel with a forged center and rolled rim and that type of construction adds weight. The RS-R is a true one-piece forged wheel.
BTW, sharp looking wheels!!!

It sounds light because those numbers are wrong. Those wheels weigh about 22 pounds each. Wheelweight sites have a lot of bogus data. I got my info from the BBS Japan site. BTW, the RS-R and RS-GT are both made in Japan. Here is the link:

Those wheels are very sharp. I was about to order them, but instead went with the HRE 540R. But those wheels are HOT. You need that Cup kit ASAP if not sooner. Post pics after, and keep up the good work. 22 is pretty dam light for 19's. I think my HRE 19' are about 22 or 23lbs also.
