Default Bad luck :(

I called up just now to order a set of these and they no longer produce them. They look lovely on S2000.

Bleh took me 2 weeks to decide and the ones I pick arent being made anymore.

Back to searching!

Lucky escape if you ask me! Tractor wheels!



(I'm sure I recall seeing that ikobo put a set up for sale in the FS&W forum last week. Might be worth seeing whether they're still available)

Do your homework! They are a ridiculous weight!

If you must have 18" wheels, track down some Superleggeras like Aquilaeagles's/Chris Type R's.

I suspect that there's a reason that the sites are not listing the weights

Have a look at http://www.wheelweights.net/ for some information.

As paper lawyer suggested, the OZ wheels aren't a bad weight vs price wheel:

So, spend next month's salary/sell a kidney/flog your soul to the devil and buy mikeyk's Volks!

Rare, light AND stylish - a good combo. Apart from costing an arm and a leg.....

I thought hard about the Volks and I'd rather not spend 3K on a set of alloys. I was going to buy a set of Volks but I changed my mind at the last second.

Found these also

Now if I found a cheap set of Volks sure would love to but not 3K!
