Its a nice finish but doesn't that cost extra? Most of us are trying to keep the costs lower - and since these are custom/group buy I think we would all need to come to a concensus on color before ordering

Ah, if it costs extra, I'm fine with plain silver.

Here is a pic of the concave face that is available in 18x9.5 +40 wheel.

From what I've heard Enkei's SBC (hyper black) doesn't hold up very well to lots of heat.

Hyper Black and SBC are different.
SBC is RPF1 and Hyper Black is on the NT03M.


99% sure

I was just told that Hyper Black is $60 more per wheel. I'll stick with silver and save $240.

There have been a few comments about BBK clearance not being important.

All BBK are a big improvement over OEM if you track your car at Road Race courses. Stopping distance is not the primary reason to by a BBK:

* Lighter than OEM, The Spoon Caliper is 4.62 lbs lighter. Almost 5 lbs of unsprung weight per corner.
* They dissipate heat much better resulting in longer pad and rotor life
* They wear pads very evenly resulting in longer pad life
* They have less fade
* They provide better pedal modulation

Ive been extremely interested in a set of 17x10 wheels for track. Ive been holding my breath for about a year in anticipation of the redesigned 949 wheels but realize that they are still a LONG ways out. Like VitaRenovatio and others have said, the 17x10 with an offset somewhere near the mid 40s seems ideal. My only concern is fitting my stoptech 328. If they would and they're $1500 or less then count me in.
