Or you could go through rediculous hoops and get a set of OEM Evo VII rims...

CCdan, I see most of your wheels don't come in 18x9 on your site. I'm looking for something with a nice size lip all around, but fit over the Brembo brakes as well as all black anodized on an 04 Evo. My rear fenders are already rolled. I'm looking for 18x9 SP16A's in all black. How much do they weigh? PM me. I'm interested in selling your products in my shop as well.

We tried the 19x9's on the car above before he went with the 9.5". The way our forgings are I don't think we can hit the backspacing numbers to clear the brakes with that amount of lip. The 9.5's which I understand are 19's not 18's clear the fender front and rear with no modification. However, the front and rear wheels have a different offset. Rears having a higher offset to clear the fender lip. In your position with rolled rear fenders you could run the same wheel/offset (lower offset like the front/more aggressive) all the way around. So you could actually rotate the tires. Either way we can make them to whatever you want but I'm pretty sure if you wany 9's you will have to run a spacer up front to clear the brakes. I tried to talk my buddy dave (car above) into the 18's so he could get some better tire options. The 265 Toyo Proxy 4's are ok but on a 500+ hp car I'd want Falken RT615's, Hankook RS2's, something more performance driven.

Also the Corsair C14 wheels look sick anodized black as well. They don't have a lip but they have crazy caliper clearance.

I have owned a ton of different tires in the past including the ones above the best as of yet for any kind of traction/grip have been the hankook rs2's. The more wore they became the better they got vs the Falken's which got harder and gripped less. The RS2's is available in a 265/35/18 which would work perfect. http://www.hankooktireusa.com/produc...ail.asp?pid=13

I wanted the same width all around but would like to have some sort of lip on the rear which should clear the smaller Brembo calipers(but I am open to options). I have Advan Neovas now, and planned on going with the Advan A048R for street and track. I will have to check into the Hankook though and see whats up with them. I sell Hankook but no one ever buys them.
The C16's would be sweet in black, but the GSC Time Attack Evo has them already. I like to be semi unique if possible. I still may consider them in black though. What are the weights of CCW rims??

They would be the same widths all the way around the offsets would be the only thing staggered. However in your case with rolled fenders both widths and offsets could be the same. The C14's come in slightly lighter at 18.5lbs ea and the SP16's will be around 21lbs each. Advan makes a good tire just haven't had much experiance with them personally and yeah I know what you mean about Hankook. Said the same thing before I bought them but I'm sold now just bought another set last week.

SP16's would have 2" lip all the way around.

Sure can guys! I work for the company; you can find out more information at http://www.ccwheel.com or call us at 1-888-577-0144. You can as for me or any of the other sales staff.

As you see above the package:
SP20 19" Wheels: $2600set (includes fully polishing the wheels or brushing them for anodizing)
Black Anodizing: $200set (might be able to get you all a break on this when you call)
Toyo Proxy 4's 265/30/19: $800set obo (includes free mounting & road force balancing)


Here are some pics I took of Black Anodized C14 Corsair Wheels...get idea of the detail on brushed anodized finish:

That's a really clean design Dan. I'm looking for a happy medium between that wheel and your classics. I like the polished lip but could do without the rivets around the wheel's edge.
