Updated with on car pics of the SouthernWays S05, sorry they are iphone once I wash it and its not crappy outside I will get better pics. I think on the car they look much nicer and the Kics lug nuts add to it.






This was before they shipped out:

Nobody sells them they are Southernways, I found them in a warehouse at a Porsche performance shop. They had imported 2 sets to use as molds to make for Porsche wheels, one set was destroyed when my friend totaled his evo, those were gold. These are the last set. I dont know if anyone can even get these anymore, I think only in 15 or 16 inch. I think at one point there was one vendor who could special order them but dont remember who. Search Southernways and you will find a couple things on here.

You gotta have love for what they are, rare of course but they are forged and have dual valve stem setup which I like and light as hell. For handling and weight saving purposes they fit the bill. I dont need something super flashy on my Evo its got over 500 hp its fast anyways hahah.


When my friend hit the curb and then flipped the car 5 times the wheels didnt crack and barely bent, the things are rock solid.

Also the lug pattern is meant to be like that so when you are in competition you can swap easily.
