Neal: BBS RG-F...
This wheel looks very nice, but again, no availability for the Evo It says only 16" diameter available now...any idea when 17 and 18's will come out? Very light too, a little over a pound for every inch of diameter...perfect.
Why don't you get in line for a promotion and start offering BBS fitments for Evo's?

That particular wheel is very very new to the market. The thing that people forget is wheel manufactures have THOUSANDS of cars they have to consider when making a wheel. Companies like BBS will probably focus on the higher end exotic and sport oriented cars first. There is a lot of research that goes into deciding what cars they will make that wheel for. They wont dump a lot of money manufacturing a wheel for a vehicle if it wont sell. Things take time. Really can't expect every new wheel that comes out to fit the EVO right off the bat. I wish there were more wheels available for my G-35 6-spd too, but there isn't.

Thanks for the reply Neil...everything you said makes perfect sense. More than anything I just wish tirerack offered more for the Evo.
Any specifics you could say about the RG-F? Weight? etc.
Also, any details about that red center cap? I don't know if I like it or not...is it removeable?
I'd post a pic...but sadly, I don't know how
Thanks!

RS-GT's would be sweet too...but the price, ouch. RG-F's aren't much better...and of course they don't have prices for 17 or 18" yet.
I do love the look of the screws necessary for the 2-piece on the GT's...but the RG-F has a tighter mesh design that is kinda old-school which is cool in it's own right.
I don't know which way to go...price might dictate, and I'm not in a hurry either.
I'd love to see a pic of your RS-GT's on as well...

Volk SF-Winning is very similar to the RS-GT.
We get our BBSs from BBS Japan but they are ...pricey.
