On the right, sitting next to 16x8" wheels and absolutely dwarfing them.
More dish than I expected actually
I had to convert to 5x114.3 to run bigger brakes, so I needed new wheels and I wanted something wide, max diameter of 17" and as light as possible. Bruce hooked me up through Phil at JDM-P (http://www.jdmplace.com) and this is the result. I couldn’t be happier. These things are absolutely gorgeous! In immaculate condition, hella wide and SUPER light for their size!
If you’re looking for wheels, even if your requirements are really specific, give Phil at JDM-P a call. His service has been impeccable and the quality of the product is nothing short of incredible. I’m very very happy, BIG thanks to Phil and Bruce!
17 x 9 is a very hard size to find, and add to that the fact that I wanted something very light… and options are extremely limited. Aside from these there really weren’t many other options. One option was Rays MS-01S or Rays Mazdaspeed MS-01MAG but they’re like 4x more expensive than what I got these for, and about the same weight. So it was a no brainer there.
As for fit and appearance, they should fit pretty much perfectly inside the fenders on the FC and be nice and flush. Going to run stretched 215s in the front and 225s in the rear for this season, and go to 245s in the rear when I up the boost next season.
They will look good, it’s been done before plenty of times.
However I don’t know wtf u’re talking about when u say they have dish. A tiny lip should not be considered DISH, because there is no DISH there, it’s just a J style lip.
See you around this year :thumright: , who knows, maybe i’ll even one day change my opinion about a shitpile by the name of rotary.
You are very welcome for these and I am glad Phil and I could get EXACTLY what you were looking for and at the price you wanted to pay.
For the rest of you guys who want these types of rims or any other 5 bolt rims but your still 4 bolt, check the Buy/Sell section in the 5 Bolt Conversion Kit’s thread (page 2, last post) as it may interest you.
Again, your welcome Marc and I can’t wait to see them on your RX. It’s gona look DAAMMMM HOT!
