Looks like the FI-R wheels are on sale this month. I called the guys over at InoKinetic and they informed me they will sell them at this price all month or while supplies last. 35% discount . $8450/set. See them: HERE

I have been running these wheels on my 19NGT - see below. They are an excellent alternative to my Carbon wheels. SoCal roads are full of hazards! I run the BBS most often as they are more affordable in case of damage. A new carbon wheel is not inexpensive...

Yeah that's fine in the south, but there is enough 45 degree and less weather here to warrant an extra set of tires

I love the look of the CF wheels! I have to run them all the time. Too cool to leave at home.

Easy to fix too!
I got a nick in mine twice! My body shop fixed it in 30 minutes! You could never tell it was ever there

Cool, that is good to know. When they really get damaged the replacement cost for one wheel is higher than a full set of these BBS.

Dunlop Sp Sport Maxx. I did a quick search and you are right. I wanted a tire with a bit less stick than stock for street use and a bit more life.

How does this gold color compare to the (non-carbon) OEM wheel on the 2021 Heritage?

To me, picture looks lighter, and perhaps "golder" than the Heritage wheels.

The "sample kit" for the Heritage ( after the fact ) wheel was darker than I expected based on the " teaser " photos. The sample is pretty true to the actual wheels. More bronze in tint than gold. I still think they are pretty cool, and different from any previous factory standard wheels, and truer to the theme of the actual race cars of the period.

( Caveat: I am red-green color blind. But I can tell that Dr. Frank's car is RED.
