New Black Hard Anodized finish
 

By popular demand: Here's a sample of our new Black Hard Anodized finish.
Beautiful finish, highly corrosion resistant, adds no weight to the wheel.

That's 15.29lbs for the fronts and 19.27 lbs for the rear! Light!

Yes, the 18s are very light. The centerlock version is actually half a pound heavier, ironically.
It is also important to remember that the 18 inch tires (235/40ZR18) tend to be a bit heavier than the 19s (235/35ZR19).
So, your actual unsprung weight savings will vary, depending on the tire you choose.
Now if you fill the tires with helium........;-)

The new 18s are also available in the 5-spoke style.

Is this your wheel? I don't see it on your website. Thanks

Yes, It is our new mesh wheel for the GT-R.
We just haven't updated the website in a while.

No problem fitting PCCBs
 

I have received a lot of PM questions about this, so let me clarify.
Our new 18 inch wheels fit all 996s and 997s with either steel or PCCB brakes.
They also clear Stop Tech and Brembo aftermarket brakes.

More news!
18x10, 18x12.5, and 18x13 are now available for the serious track guys.

I see there are no 9's for the fronts?

Sorry if I confused you. Available front widths are 8.5, 9.0, and 10.0
Rear widths are 11, 11.5, 12, 12.5 and 13.
These can be ordered in Centerlock or 5-lug.
All fit with PCCBs, StopTech and Brembo. TPMS is just like OE.
