Anyone see a price point on these? Being made by enkei I assume these are one piece wheels

Those would look great on a TransAm.

I see a gap between the face and the wheel, plus a lot of allen head bolts, I am guessing 2 or 3 piece.

I looked on the USA and the Japanese sites and there is not even a photo anywhere, yet these cars have them already? WTF

did some more digging and found this from 2014 SEMA

http://www.turnology.com/race-coverage/sema-coverage/sema-2014-enkei-wheels-update-their-2015-lineup-with-fresh-looks/

With 6666 Customs (Rocket Bunny) gaining popularity in aerodynamic performance and styling at a noticeable rate, it would only make sense for Enkei wheels to chime in with a collaboration surprise with their 2-piece welded Enkei 6666. This wheel takes it back to the design of the classic Enkei 92, adapting a more aggressive and modern twist. The Enkei 6666 brings out an old-school vibe that compliments the widened body lines of the modern Rocket Bunny RX7 aero kit. They only come in 17-inch diameters with custom offsets that go as low as -80. This allows some really aggressive rubber. The Enkei 6666 definitely brought sexy back into the 2015 line.

Found an old post who stated they where coming in 16-18" sizing.

"I am pretty excited about these. I love mesh style wheels, and I love having the options of running smaller diameter wheels on my E36 or E90 even (I want 18’s next for performance reasons and better performance tire options). They are made by Enkei for RocketBunny 6666 and will be offered in custom sizing and pcd from 16 to 18 inches and 100 – 130 pcd"

Really like the look of those and would love to have a set of 17x9 +35 with some meaty rubber to put on my stock body GT86!

Going to drop the question over on ft86club.com to see if any of the rocket bunny guys over there have some more info where to find these beauties.

Yes in my first post those look to be a smaller size like a 16" size.

I was really hoping they would come in a 15. I love the design a lot, and I'm sure the price point would have been good too.

I just have to keep saving for some 14 SSR mesh I guess :shrug:

I think Kenjo from GarageStar is selling his SSR mesh wheels, maybe reach out to him?

I wonder how those would look on a dropped sc300?

6666, the number of the super beast!

They're pretty nice but no 15's or 14's, no care. These in a 14x8 would be epic sauce.

Can't fit big brakes on a 14 inch wheel though

Semantics! Big brakes are overrated.

Lol not really, but I still want to see these on a 185 Cup car or something.

I actually got the chance to speak with an Enkei rep for some coverage of SEMA this year. I wasn't able to get very much info aside from what's already been discussed. Retarded offset, 16-18" diameter, and 2-piece I did ask about availability and was told that due to Miura-san's very particular personality he's only let them slip into the hands only a few people that have been lucky enough to receive his good graces. I was ensured that a consumer version will hit sometime early 2015. I wasn't able to get info on the exact cost due to some discrepancy in the manufacturing method with the consumer product and it not being "finalized", yeah? The rep did say that Enkei was utilizing a forged manufacturing technique that would make the wheels stronger and lighter than other 2-piece wheels. Not sure what exactly that means, but light weight and strong do sound good. Sadly, I wasn't able to get much more than those few vague answers.

^Thanks for some great info!

A vendor on FT86club claimed that rumors said the smallest size/highest offset would be 17x9,5 +27. Really hope they get some more reasonable size's once (and if?) they hit the street.

I don't want 17" but I can live with 16", I have given up on 15" as nobody wants to make those sizes in 2 piece or 3 piece anymore aside from a few extremely expensive wheels.

I moved to a 16 on my e30. Tire selection and sizing opened my choices immensely.

Haha, I don't mean they look bad! Black wheels look good too but I wouldn't want them for me personally.

16" wheels are lamesauce.

Cool that these are forged two piece wheels. Sucks that Enkei will most likely HUGELY water down the offset and sizing to consumers once they come out.

There are literally dozens of variations of mesh wheels similar to these in 14 and 15 options. Volk Mesh, SSR Formula Mesh, IMPUL Pro Mesh, Southern Way Mesh, Appliance Mesh. I wouldn't hold my breath for 15s and certainly not for 14s.

Looks like they'll only be available in 17x9 – 17x10.5 at launch.
