SIMILAR! You have the RZ, no? These are RS. Grouping of the spokes is the only difference, yours are pairs of 5, mine are evenly spaced 10. Love them too, thank you. but why you trying to sell yours?
RZ is 18x9 45 offset and powdercoated matte black.
On the other hand, RS is 18x9 29 offset Dark gunmetal.
I'm selling RZ beacuae of RS.
Moar pics!!!!! Please..
I got one question though. I just saw you restored your headlights using spar and mineral spirits. I found that method on other forums and I did same on my headlights.
Have you check your cutoff at wall after that coat? Cause i checked mine and it's blurry as f**k! So this time, i'm gonna redo wet sand again and just polishing and check it again. I hope i can get it fixed.
Again, i love your new set up!!!

Really? So you're selling the RZ's to GET the RS's?
That's awesome, we certainly will be twinsies then.
My cuttoff is just fine, brother...BUT, i did lay it on while lights were on the ground and it dried perfectly flat. DO wetsand and buff it, and it'll likely end up perfect. I do notice a slight yellowish tinge to it, but a billion times better than the yellow that builds up from the sun damage.
One of my favorite shots...

Yes. Brand new. The 19's, which I was leaning towards are more like $950 a piece.
You're better off finding a used set. I think I may stick to 18".

I won't either. That's why I'm shooting for a used set.

LMAO, trust me, these were pushing it...
supposedly, these are just slightly lighter if not same and they are a flow cast vs the volks being forged. One of the hardest cast wheels on the market, from my research.
No complaints here
Yeah, Austin, do it...stick with 18's...all the cook kids are doing it!

WOAHHH !! what wheels are you looking at Austin?
the Work emotion series is not too expensive....look at the wheels there and you can get ~$500/wheel NEW (18")....
the Volk Racing or the Work VS series are very very expensive....Volks for being lightweight (see TE37 or Ce28N are 900-ish/wheel 18") and the Vs for pure design...
EDIT:other wheels like Advans or Wedssports are around 400-600/wheel depending on color and size....

It was only a matter of time that Austin would hop on the wheel bus and want to change them. I really like the Forgester F14s but I want them in piano black

I said Volk...you said Work. 
I'm not a big fan of the gold color but if I didn't get a set that was the specific color...I'd have them refinished and powder coated.

Nice wheels man. Not sure I feel about the different color lip on a non lip wheel if you know what I mean. Just reminds of when a car is slammed and hella flush and the edge/lip of the wheels rub on the fender so they look machined.

Dennis, that very well may have been why previous owner decided to get them machined...as for me, I am in LOVE with that aspect. With no contrast for so long, being able to see where the wheels sits in relation to the wheel arch when rolling is a BIG plus for me.

Really? So you're selling the RZ's to GET the RS's?
That's awesome, we certainly will be twinsies then.
My cuttoff is just fine, brother...BUT, i did lay it on while lights were on the ground and it dried perfectly flat. DO wetsand and buff it, and it'll likely end up perfect. I do notice a slight yellowish tinge to it, but a billion times better than the yellow that builds up from the sun damage.

I ordered RS on April. I'm still waiting for them. I should get them late of this month or early July. I already ordered Hankook v12 225/40/18.
Hmm... Anyway I will have to redo my headlights this weekend again... We'll see.
Are you gonna get Advan center caps?
Love that shot dude!!!

LMAO, I'm glad Tyler answered because I couldn't remember if I shot with my prime lens. I know that under F3.5 had to be my kit lens. 1.8 for sure is the fixed fitty. I generally leave it at ISO100 after that grainy convo we had...
You like them, Austin...I'm glad to hear it, bud.

The lower the ISO, the better.
