These wheels just arrived off the boat from Japan. Regamasters are self-explanatory... discontinued, light-weight forged wheels made in Russia. I personally rank Regamasters at the top of my short-list of wheels I'd want.
Sizes are 17x9 all around, front pairs are +38 and rear pairs are +18 offsets. 5x114.
Gold pair, +38s:

I was specifically looking for these sizings because my intentions were to use them on my personal FD.
They have the usual paint chips and some light curbing, but they're straight and can easily be refinished. No bends or cracks, etc.
Price is $1900 for all 4, shipping not included. Pick up in Bay Area, CA.
No lowballers!!! I don't mind keeping these wheels as spares. Plus, they're pimping out my garage in the meantime so I'm not in a huge rush to sell.

Always wondered what those would look like on an S14. Those look amazing.
A buddy of mine is actually looking for a set, so I'll let you know.

These wheels would look great on any car. I prefer them meaty, but stretched looks good too. For the record, I was going to run 255/40 Star Specs (or similar) on these. With a fitment like this:

I did sell my previous FD (the one that's in my sig), but I have another one now :) You can read more about that one from my site (also in my sig).
Thanks for the bump!

I have no idea, but you're welcome to test fit it if you're local. The design of these wheels & spokes allows for a good amount of caliper clearance relative to its sizing and offset.

not trying to shit... but $400 a wheel for some curbed up not matching pairs? I think you're way off on the price.

Don't preface taking a shit by stating you're not trying to. I'm curious why you would presume to be a Regamaster expert enough to knock the value of a priceless commodity to some, an item over a decade discontinued and coveted sizes for many various chassis. Refinishing is relatively inexpensive for a set of wheels you can't go out and buy on a whim.

Now hold on a second, he is quite clearly a Regamaster connoisseur :goyou:
Btw congrats on selling your set! Was it sold through here or somewhere else?
@LBCtoofortee, if you think I'm way off in price, what are you proposing? If you still think you can get Regamasters, especially in good sizing, in perfect condition... you are extremely misguided.
For the record, my other personal set of Regamasters was also refinished and had light curbing. This is something any wheel repair shop can do with ease, and the mismatched colors become a non-issue at this point.

As someone who has been looking for that perfect set of Regamasters, I can tell you, they are rare to come by.
I eventually gave up on the idea after months of searching. I settled on my number two wheels, the much more common Volk Racing TE37's. Wheels that I would trade in an instant if I find the right set of Promadas.
I think the price reflects on these hard to find wheels. Forged, Russian, classic.

Thanks! I sold the previous set semi-locally to a guy that I knew was searching for my exact set basically. It usually does not take long to sell them; a lot of people desire Regamasters, but like TurboFC3C said, when you're in the market for wheels and you can't find what you want, most people end up moving on to whatever is available. Selling Regamasters is a brief waiting game, then they go to someone who's happier than a kid getting cotton candy. When discussing an item that can't easily be attained in another scenario, the price point should be a no brainer.
