Stern Aguzze S-07R...out of production, rare as crap, usually only in Honda sizes (at least in America). They don't even show up in Yahoo! Japan very often, and trust me...I check:

17x8 +32 (f) 17x9 +38 (r)
forged

About 20MM too much offset wise, nothing a spacer can't solve, and white's not nearly as hot as say...GUNMETAL...but thats what powder coating is for...

I wish the rims were .5 wider, but I don't think they came in those sizes. I know they're available in something like a +20 offset for GTR's and such...but..


daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn.....

Curse Yahoo! Japan

altho..if u can bid and ship these for me....i'd like to speak to you...

Heh gruppe-s had a set for sale last year and nobody wanted them for the longest time. They were 18x8.5's and were under a G. I remember cuz I was really contemplating getting em.

not feelin' it

those sizes are weak, the color is ugly, and the design isnt too hot either

just my opinion

the Gruppe-S ones sucked, and I don't think they were the forged version.

These should be like 15-16 lbs each , which is teeerrific for a 17 inch rim. You guys can have your piddly meshies...7 spoke rims are too good

As for white, I won't keep them white, they will be gunmetalized.

Rinkya sucks, don't bother. They lost a rim the last time I ordered from them and it took them over 6 mo. to get money back.

right, many 7-spoke rims are good, but these ones don't look like anything out of the ordinary. just like many mesh rims are good, and others aren't. it's an opinion, not a personal attack.

A friend of mine just bought 20" stern wheels in chrome had them on his lexus for three weeks and they started to rust!! hardly drove the car and when he did never drove it fast or anything. Glad you got a set of sterns that are powder coated. His looked exactly like that pattern too!

Not bad, but Gram Lights 57S look better.....

The new sterns are weaksauce. Chrome and big sizes...but ugly IHMO.

I love the Aguzze because its so simple and clean...and they're forged too, and good looking good sized 7 spokers are hard to come by.

These have a nice lip (apparently)...I like the Gram Light 57S, but only in Face-2 with the sunken spokes. They are both pimpness. I would get both of them and alternate.

It was Karma, God hates 20" chrome wheels like the rest of us

You also forgot the most important part... that RINKYA is a RIP OFF.

But yeah, try callin takumiproject or something and ask if they can score the wheels for you.

Good luck
