I can barely fit a credit card between the spoke and the caliper

oh sorry bout that, did seem a bit off, got the simular layout but from what i can tell so far the 003 had an awsome finish and quality as some of the more expensive wheels, i was acually in a companie who sold racing wheels and some of the markup is not fair, again not a bash, it is very nice indeed
sorry dude !


but as far as quality you are dead on a lot of the wheels we would send out for powdercoating, (alot of the tuner wheels) had alot of filler under the topcoat from the low pressure casting i presume

but sometimes the hole in the wheels were so great i would expect structural problems, its kinda scary when you take a cheap rim and knock of all the paint

also sometimes the name you pay for more than the quality of the wheel, some companies offer the same exact wheel from the same manufacturer and just brand them differentley and charge less, kinda like a bose sterio
sometimes you pay more for the name than you do the quality of the part.
thou thats not the case with your wheels at all by any means :smile:
we did a showcar 300c for SEMA and a wheel companie donated their premo rims for the car that costed retail around 10,000 and the castings were crap, crazy i tell you. in most cases you get what you pay for i did a price check back on the 003 and their retail for 350 to 400 so they were close in price just didnt realize i got such a good deal, ill look a bit more before blarring my mouth off, hehehe!


i love to see all this wonderfull machine art on these cars its so exzotic !!!!
and i also love the brembo breaks, HOT, the calipers are so darn massive thou its hard to find a rim to fit that looks hot on the car!!!

NEEZ wheel

NEEZ 17inch
7.8kg
no spacer required for brembo
kind must item for big brake user in Japan. (I dun have big brake )

I like BBS RV-F in nowadays because lighter than NEEZ and it looks more easy for cleaning.
unfortunately RV-F 7.5J is not available in Japan market.
But if I order this I can get it from factory...
As they said export only but we have some spares for stock.
I dun understand this and that.
