When are you guys going to do the 5x114.3 bolt for Lexus cars? I'm definitely game for a set for my IS-F....please keep me in mind when you guys decide to build for Japanese cars!

I may also pickup a custom 17" setup for my s2000 if this works out on the IS-F

Rick,
Thanks for all the kind words. I will pass your kudos along to the Tech1 engineering team.
We will prioritize the IS-F if you order a set. We would also like to hear from all you 6Speeders on other applications that you think are most important. (We have Porsche and BMW dialed in already).
Sorry to say that 17 inch sizes are unlikely unless there is considerable demand.

I think you meant similar size.
The new Tech1-200 series weighs about 16.8 lbs for a 19x8.5 front 997 wheel, compared to about 15 lbs for the Superalloy. The rears are 20.2 lbs for a 19x12 compared to 18 lbs for the Superalloy.
The actual finished weight of both wheels varies slightly due to choice of offset and choice of finish.

Like he said, we are a dealer for these

These are really amazing wheels, not only do they look awesome, they are honestly the lightest wheels I have ever seen!

We have several clients using these, with great feedback as well!

Way to go Mike!

Wow...Why you do this...Now I have to get those one..when we havent even installed my 110 Tech yet )))


We also have 109 on pur SPI 750 car and compared to stock they felt very very light...sure they helped us to run better times...







Reply to my e-mail...


I wonder something like 255/30 front and 325 or 335/25 rears will fit nicely on 19s ???

I think CArgrraphic is suing 265/35 or 30 fronts and 315/30 rears
