DT05R's from group buy (pics)

so here they are, finally in my posession. after i thought i had changed my order to 8.5R and 7.5F widths, they still sent me my original order:

17x8.5JJ +25 front and 17x9.5JJ +30 rear, and i must say, they are sexxxxxayy biotches! tires are kumho 712's 225/45 front and 245/45 rear.

front wheel:

rear wheel:

and a profile shot:



better pics to come, i just took these with a nokia camera phone because i'm impatient

edit: BTW they clear the Z brakes and World Sports coilovers just fine. the car will be lower very soon when i get a chance to install the camber plates/RUCA's

They look nice & flush! pls take some more pics.
I spoke to David from Tougefactory, he said he'll host another groupbuy soon due to the high demand.

They look great from those angles. I can't wait to get mine on but it may be a month or two. I can't afford tires, lugnuts and wheel studs right now. It's still snowing in my area anyway.

As for your question in the group buy thread, I 'think' the 16's only came in one offset for each width, but I'm not sure if that's true.. I got the 7.5 and 8.5 which are (runs downstairs and looks at the boxes) 22 and 37.

suspension is apexi world sports coilovers, everything else is stock. all camber/caster/toe settings are stock (or whatever they've worked themselves into being over the years).

i have camber plates for the front (not installed yet) and RUCA's on the way for the rear. i'm on my way outside now to attempt to roll the fenders. wish me luck

cool. i just got mine rolled yesterday. got the same color and size as you. hopefully mine will be close to flush though cause i have an s14. might have to add 10 or 15mm spacers.

yup, although when you shine direct light on them they seem to have a bronze sheen to them

to touring240, they are the 30mm (TT) calipers, and there's a shit-ton of room in there between the caliper and wheel.

to 95koukiS14, i have no clue what the color is called. i used to think it wasn't a factory color until i saw a few other S13 coupes in this color. all i know is i like it
i'll have to find the color code in the door jamb tomorrow
