Those are dope wheels. Too bad the best size I've see. Was 17x8.
There was a set for sale in FL a few years ago iirc.

Yea they guy who owned them was in my shop class in highschool, had them on a white s13.
I just put a bid in for some in japan and i'm working on getting them imported. They're 16x8 though, but for my stock body s13 that's perfect.

Rad! Post pix when they arrive!!!

[Thedriftbadger]

I definitely will

Is hurricane the correct name for these wheels? I can't find shit about them which makes me think they have a different name.

I've only ever seen them called hurricanes. If there is a different name it's news to me.

So i just talked to enkei about getting the correct name them and this is what they told me: "This one looks like an OEM wheel that we made for vehicle manufacturers and not one that we would have in our aftermarket lineup. It looks similar to an older Enkei style 12, but I have no wheels in our old 90’s catalogs that match up to this one. "
Strange. I'm thinking they are off a truck because of the sizes and bolt patterns, not many 90's cars came with 17's.

Yea i've tried to look that number up but i can't find anything. I can see 17 then something in the middle like a dash or an r or s then 89 or 8g. I've tried everything i can't find them. It's driving me crazy

I'm gonna cancel my order for the 16's. I really want 17's and i'd hate to go through all the hassle and 2 months later realize they're too small. Especially if i want aero, they'll look dumb no matter how cool or rare they are. I'm just gonna keep my eye out for some and check the auctions every day. Some 17's have to turn up eventually.
