I only asked the question about which offset was being used. I never commented on the validity of the magnitude.

Having to wait might be a benefit, you may end up wanting 19" wheels instead of 18" ...

Looks like the wheels with a 73mm hub center only come in 48MM....Price is now $799 shipped.

Racer516

Does it come with a 73mm bore is it bored by dealer to 73mm? Could it be bored to the 67.1 we need by Suby or Fuji?

Cooper47

Factory bored to 73mm...Hubcentric rings can be provided for 67.1.

Racer516

Thanks

Subydude does bore a 56.1 to 67.1, so you don't need the hubcentric rings. However, I'm fairly certain that you don't need hubcentric rings with the 73mm bore anyway.

Here is a quote from John at Complete Custom Wheel:

not sure what the brake clearences are on a rx8, and at that width/offset combo, classsics wont have much clearence (just over 1"), if they can be done they will run 2200 a set
c10's will be a better fit an will weigh about the same as classics (18x8's in that offset chould come in at 17-18 lbs) . maybey a liitle less while being much stiffer, c10's look like this

and will run 2600 a set

Can anyone tell me what the brake clearances are?

You can still get SSR Comp H 18 x 8 wheels from Tirerack for $449 each and no leak worries at mid-17 lbs

GlenAnderson

I believe the C10s are 1 piece wheels so there shouldn't be leakage issues.

At the weight that CCW quoted, you are better off buying the SSRs or the OZs.

I haven't been keeping up with CCW, wasn't aware they were doing anything but 3-pc wheels

John, I attached the info you're looking for, just send Purner a copy of it

Miatamoto

Just got my P1s last night and they look very nice. The weight is as advertised, right around 19 lbs.

ULLLOSE

This post is worthless without pics. I hope you did not get gold again.

Miatamoto

LOL, I'll take some tonight. And no... they're not gold! Chike now owns the gold hotness.

The new wheels are matte black with a red stripe, "time attack" I guess they call it.

LOL! Thanks for the great transaction. I love the gold hotness...very Subie-esque!

I'll see how the color looks against my galaxy grey RX-8, but my fall-back plan is to paint them bronze if I'm not totally enarmored with the look.

Miatamoto

I think you'll like it. I thought it looked great on my Galaxy Grey, but I seemed to be in the minority.

Thanks Thomas. I'll see. I love gold and bronze wheels on WRX/STis. So either color is hot to me. One guy I knew painted his gold wheels bronze and the gold under-color made the bronze stand-out even more. It was hot!!!

With those gold wheels, may I reccomend the following accesory...

It's easy to tell who's driven Corvettes around here....

Yeah...I still miss that ride...

Sweeet!!!

Dude, I always knew you were cool.......I just didn't know you were that cool.

mwood

Common mistake...it's the rare individual who can fully grasp the depth of my coolness

Gold chains aren't enough to get in the club anymore. To park in the Corvette Corral at Laguna Seca for ALMS weekend, you need the black and white leather jacket, too.

And crossed flags are better-received than dollar signs. 'cause it's about history, not just the money.

the gold chain crowd became outnumbered by real drivers when the Z06 was revived

now they all drive SUVs with 24" spinners
