I guess they had them a week or so ago, and they tried calling me....but i didn't get any calls. Oh well, i will be able to race next month now

**T3h_Clap** · 06-26-2006, 10:46 AM

Edge Racing is right down to road (25 miles) from me!

i may have to give them a ring.

**dailydriversti** · 06-26-2006, 10:48 AM

Yea, definately now that my wheels are out of there

**T3h_Clap** · 06-26-2006, 10:58 AM

stop spending my money!! haha.

I'm actually heading back to iowa this weekend, if i wasn't going i'd be able to buy these wheels (damn plane tickets).

but friends and fam are better than spare race wheels (some cases anyway).

post pics for sure!

**dailydriversti** · 06-26-2006, 11:00 AM

Bronze.

Maybe they haven't updated yet, or maybe they don't have any in stock, because i had to special order mine.

What do you think on white...silver machined or hyper black?

I don't want bronze.

**dailydriversti** · 06-26-2006, 11:57 AM

Its all i could do, basically i had to order ahead of time, to make sure i would actually get them when they were available. I ordered beginning of may.

Id say hyperblack, silver is so common. If you want silver wheels, you can also look at the kosei's i posted above, they have a little bit better offset too.

**T3h_Clap** · 06-26-2006, 12:07 PM

i'd say silver, but i have a strong dislike for black with a polished lip. the flat black looks good on a white car though.

the offset on the Kosei's may not be the best for someone wanting to run coilovers and 275s. but if you're only shooting for 255 or so the +45 would be a better choice.

From what I understand the Kosei's are lighter too, right?

I'm looking for 245 max. I'm prepping my car for STU. Worst case scenario I'd jump to BSP in the coming years and have to change wheels with something with a different offset. I'm mainly concerned with stretching my STU tires and losing some wheel weight over OEM at the same time.

**T3h_Clap** · 06-26-2006, 01:36 PM

Go kosei, they are lighter.

dark silver...or silver?

It might not be until next year when my 615s wear down by then that I would be in the position to buy....but they sound nice..
