The Gold rims look hot imho

Why did they change the front to brembos, but left the rear stock?!?! I thought they would move the front rotors and calipers to the rear.

lol i like the last set...gun metal black...

[VirIIx]

nice job raz,

which rims are the last ones?

mmm nice ;)

[Usual Suspect]

nah the white look awesome, i love white rims!

[toE]

Interesting!

[razaman]

I'm glad you guys liked the chops! I tried to go for some cool rims of all different colors, I think all the colors work!

1) OZ Racing Superleggera - Gold
2) 5 Zigen MK6 - Bronze
3) Volk ce28 - white
4) G-Games 77S Vaio - gunmetal (looks more like a hyper black)

Raz :thumbsup:

[aaronng]

Does the Volk ce28 come in black?

[razaman]

Does the Volk ce28 come in black?

According to Ray's wheels japan then only come in Bronze/Gold/Silver.

Raz (easy to fix though!!)

[Slugoid]

Powder coating ;)

Yeah, I was looking for a set of CE28's for my Euro as well on Yahoo Japan. They're very nice indeed, and they are not as expensive as most people think, but only in Japan.

hey guys...
is there anyone willing to pay $2000 for a set of RAYS G-Games 77S - gunmetal Casting 1 piece Wheel ? they are brand new and have pirelli tyres...

http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/datas2/GAMES/050_77S/logo.jpg (the actual rim is in gun metal)

not intend to sell just want to konw how much they worth

the bad thing is it's in 4x114.3 so may not fit most of the cars excpt accord keke..

btw .. does any1 kon what other cars have 4x114.3 stud pattern?? btw they are 18"

[razaman]

Alot of mitsibushi's are 4x114.3 This includes early evo's and galants and some others.

$2000 for new wheels with tyres seems like a fair price, in NZ anyway.

My 17" 5zigens M-05's are $2500 new without tyres in NZ.

What the hell are you talking about?

[Usual Suspect]

What the hell are you talking about?


I think our fellow member Faiz is mistaken here, this is not the new Euro/TSX this is a project car, ie a car bought my the magazine and they are going to moddify it, then raffle it off or something, just like AutoSalon's project MR2.

i wouldn't mind some RAYS G-Games 77S , the price seems pretty good. Tho, tyre replacements would kill me in the end :b
