New MS wheel?

Anyone know anything about this wheel? I can't read Japanese.

I have seen the aluminium and the magnesium MS wheels, but not this one:

I saw it on the JP MS site last night. Looks good, kind of like the ADVANs but lately I have been craving rims with nice lips.

It's manufactured by Enkei, it's aluminum wheel made by MAT procedure(not as previous wheels, they are maded by forging). The size for RX8 was 18x8j, offset +50. The weight of it was not announced, but it should be heavier than the previous ones. The cost of it is almost half of the previous one (47200jpy per wheel)

Most of Enkei's racing line is between 17 & 19 lbs. in the 18X8 size. It shouldn't be that heavy.

www.enkei.com dosn't list a wheel that looks like it. The closest one like it is the RPF1.

Lesper4, I didn't find another thread about this particular wheel in my search, but I did see a couple on other MS wheels.

It would be nice to have an actual weight and price on this. (as well as a US distributor)

i would purchase them if they were staggered set up and 18x8.5 and 18x9.5. Another factor for me is if they are compatible with tmps..
