Only 17"? I'd have expected more...

The tread is interesting, but I don't recognize it, and without knowing what it says on the sidewall, it doesn't impress me much.

4-lug? Good for symmetry, bad for Integra Type R...

While the product looks exceptional, I wonder how much research was done...

I'd be all over those Touring wheels if I felt like rearranging lugnuts...

But, than again, it's good to have someone looking at out 'niche.' I'll have to buy a set, then give hime some feedback...

Hopefully they're not using the same ruler that Fujimi's engineers must have used in sizing up their 17"

The rims look alright, but I doubt that I would buy any, for the reasons Jay stated.

Question Who knows??

At this point I'll wait and see, the rims/tires look good, but I sure don't want any more 17" rims. If they are 17's, they've made a serious mistake IMHO. If they measure out to be 18's, fine. 19's would have been even better. But 17's...please tell me they're wrong!

They mention it was made to fit "Each set has been designed and tested to fit the most popular Revell-Monogram, Tamiya, Fujimi and Hasegawa model kits." How can you fit both Tamiya(excluding 350Z) and Fujimi at the same time w/o modification?!?!

From the looks of it they've designed the two sets of brakes included to be the mounting system for the wheel kits, so the pins/axles/receivers are probably part of the brakes. We shall see how well this works.

Fujimi and Aoshima 18 inchs are fitting on ITR very well

You need slight modification like sand out fender a bit
