IwannaSportSedan Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Ok... After all my recent trouble, I know what I want, and I just found it. So new it might not even be in stock yet. AME Tracer FS-01 (Fine Sports) http://og-made.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/amefs01.jpghttp://og-made.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/fs01close.jpg http://og-made.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/fs01a.jpghttp://og-made.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/fs01b.jpg http://www.ame-wheels.com/07/sports.html http://og-made.com/archives/category/ame-wheels-gallery/ Available in Subaru fitments, according to Sport Compact Car, 5x100, 5x114, and 5x120, and looks to be good offset. Hypersilver, bronze, and black colors. 17, 18, and 19" fitments, made by Enkei, AME's parent company, by cast flow-forming process. These look fantastic!, Dropped center, 5 "y"-spokes all the way to the tire bead... And the hollowed spoke profile for a little bit of visual drama, and good color. I think I like the silver, but I could easily see any of the colors on the Legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IwannaSportSedan Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 Troublesome Rotas are going back, or going on the selling block. THESE are what I want on my car, once I can find a quality vendor, and verify the offset and width stats. Are there any good-standing vendors here that handle AME wheels? If you do honest business, I may have some business for you pretty soon. I just have to take care of the company that burned me with the wrong wheels, and get my money back. I think these wheels would be cool as hell if they were painted black/charcoal, with the outer face surface polished, from the wheel center out to the tire bead machine polished. But then again, that is the finish that I ordered for the Rotas, and can't get... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IwannaSportSedan Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 I ordered Full Royal Gunmetal Tarmac IIs, and got fully painted Gunmetal, not "full royal" polished. The Gunmetal Tarmac IIs are for sale, If I don't choose to force the vendor's hand to take them back, and refund my money. There is a thread called "They sent the WRONG WHEELS" in the wheel forum that goes on about what has happened. Feel free to check that out, too. FYI, avoid Modacar Automotive Accessories, in Livermore, CA. They employ dishonest business practices. They lied to me on several occaisions, and unloaded the wrong product on me, just to get my sale, and now won't refund all of my money to return those wheels.

IwannaSportSedan Posted April 7, 2007 Author Share Posted April 7, 2007 Google search results showed a thread over on a Lexus IS forum... They are thinking that these wheels will be in the 1600$ per set range, but it hasn't been absolutely confirmed. If that is the case, these may have to remain a dream, or future goal. That would make these EXPENSIVE wheels. Figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IwannaSportSedan Posted April 9, 2007 Author Share Posted April 9, 2007 $$$ is the question. lexusclub seems to think that they could be in the 1600$ per set price range, for a staggered RWD 8.5-9.5 width set... Legacy/WRX fitment might not be quite that expensive, but it still could be $$$.... I am not sure that they are even ready for sale yet... they are very new.

I am not sure that they are even ready for sale yet... they are very new. due to lack of distributors for AME wheels, most of the time you will be buying from japan. You're looking at $2000 per set + freight AME are SICK!!! But also too expensive for my wallet ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanger Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 see this thread, looks like you can pm this vendor for pricing and info http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1216379 ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
