New 17x9 wheel for the EVO.

Looks like we'll have a new replacement for the recently deceased 17x9 Kosei *sniff sniff. Lets all say a prayer*

TR Motorsports C3 *pic below* One piece gravity cast construction, grey only 17x9 et 30, no spacers required, no notes on fender lip roll needed. Looks like weight will come in at 17 lbs but I can verify for sure once the container arrives. Limited lifetime structural warranty, 1 year finish warranty.

Stock will arrive into Indiana on the 30th of this month and pricing is looking like $159 ea + shipping.

I am taking preorders via phone and online.

Not a bad choice for a winter wheel for those looking to rock a wider wheel. Looks like it'll be around ~$700 shipped for a set.

Wow, makes me wish I was in the market for wheels. For that price they're hard to say no to.

If the weight really is 17 lbs I'll be buying a set. This seems perfect for my budget STU build!

You had to come out with this after my Evo days.

17 lbs, great price - I'd jump on these.

be good to have an alternative to the fno1r-c 17x9, similar price and 16.4lbs.. I do like the looks of the TR wheel more for a daily driver for sure.

OEM 235's I don't show a problem, 245's maybe not, doubt a 255 would clear dropped being a 9".
