Anthracite is the color....

They start at 18 and go up to 20 i believe... I'd probalby get 18s, maybe 19, but never 20... they come in multiple widths and offsets, which is good for us 6MTers

Found this a while ago...

They are nice wheels, but a little to pricey for me.

So, is that to say that they will be built/assembled better since they're from Japan?

In that case, I'll order a set of those and a Japanese built TL to go with them!

HA... well when you get 18s or 19s, they tend to be heavy, but cheaper because they are easier to make... JDM wheels are usually lightweight (which is important for performance, something you lose when you go with bigger wheels), really strong, and multipiece, SO if you scratch the RIM part, you can get get the outer portion and reassemble the wheel instead of buying an entirely new wheels...

AND they look badass, if i may use VTEChump's car as an example...

I won't go so far as to call them lightweight, but they are decent....

My 19x8's are 24.9lbs w/o tire (which is about the same as stock TLS wheels) 49.8lbs w/tires...
