    I don't know how to quote from facebook but these things look great! Looking forward to seeing offsets and weights.

    They do look sweet, but how much and in which colors will they be available?

    Thanks Randy.

    Now I really want some shiny, 14 inch, low offset light wheels as my next choice. (14x7 rpf1's ftw) But I have always like this style (wats won me over). If the 15x8 is in a reasonable offset and not weigh a shit ton. Looking at you Apache II and enkei 92 at the fat 16-18 pounds a wheel. I might just buy a set of these.

    Was also realized a significant weight reduction by further thinning of the rim.

    Ooh, I'm interested.

    Not too keen on the how the hub plate extends out that far though. Makes it look more like a chaparrel than a wat.

    The only thing I don't like about the wheel is the lip. Other than that, they look good.

    I really dig that! I wanna know weights, but I do like it. The vintage sawtooth on the lip just makes it.

    A lot of folks are saying that, however like Adam said, it helps give it that more "vintage" look, and if they made a polished lip right from the start im sure everyone would say, lets just buy a Rota, or it looks just like the Rota, etc etc, so Im glad they changed it up a bit!

    If anyone is gonna be at the JCCS this weekend please take some close up photos, and you Cali guys are spoiled with your sneak peeks!! Lets see some of these on a Miata already!!
