Still no weight info?

I just put a call in. I have confirmed for sure that they do make a 19" that will fit the IS. Which was already talked about earlier. I am getting price and weight info. He is going to call me back.

They are avail now according to the guy on the phone, cept the 19's. Those will be another month.

They are distributed by Endless (yes the brake people) which I guess does all of enkei distribution also.

I'll post back when he calls back.

Good news, these rims are TPMS compatible.

Sweet. All good news so far. If I just get some more good news on the weight, I think I'm totally sold.

... Feels like I keep saying that, heh.

They are cast wheels with a lot of metal to make all those spokes so I wouldn't expect them to be very light. I'd say probably 24-25lbs each in 18".

TPMS compatible, 19''s avaiable, black saphhire, good price..

AWESOME!!

Man, do I hope you're wrong... Cuz if you're right, it's back to the drawing board for me.

Dabigman

You were looking for Matador cars with wheels, so I put this PS together quick for you:


Needs a drop for sure.

Thanks, Dabig. Is that a chop with 19"? ... Think you could do it with the sapphire black version?

Here you go guys. Endless called me back today and said the 19's are shipping right now as we speak. Here's the stats:

19x8.5 (23.2lbs ea) = $610.00
19x9.5 (23.3lbs ea) = $630.00
offeset = +40

Now those are retail prices, so not sure what dealers will actually charge. These are in the volks price range now, so I am not sure what to think.

Here's some dealers:
TX - spl auto (austin) 866-spl-part
CA - Aspec Products 626-618-1100
CA - Upgrade Auto 818-998-6005

Since endless doesn't sell direct, they wouldn't know anything about a group buy. The best bet on a group buy would be through Aspec Products.

OK That's everything you needed to know

Thanks for the info, comb. For 19", that's a pretty nice weight. The Volk wheels I was looking at (19" GT-U's) are just two pounds lighter for the 19x9s, but are also slightly more expensive, and are not TPMS compatible, so this looks like a good bet.

I asked D2-AUTOSPORT for a quote on a set of 19" FS-01's, though, and he said 2200 (before shipping I think) for a set of 19" in hyper silver, which seems like a pretty different price than you have there... He also told me that according to the AME charts, the sapphire black is not available in 19", but he can ask about getting them custom done. (I'm not 100% sure I know what he means by that... I don't understand how I could get them in that color if they are not manufactured in that color).

Did you by any chance get any similar info about that? Or were you not concerned with the color choices?

Nah I hate black rims. But i can almost guarntee that he would just get them "custom" powder coated for like 150.00 a wheel.

I don't know how good these rims woudl look on my color. This is a tough decision.

Dabigman

No, that is overlayed on top of the 18" OEMs, but in an image that small and with a full-face wheel, you won't notice the 1" that much. I don't have a picture of the black wheels that isn't angled the wrong way.

EndlessRep

If enough were interested in sapphire black in 19" for the ISX50, we can actually manufacture them in that color. I'd say if about 10 people lined up to purchase them in sapphire black, we could make it happen.

Thanks for all the kind words and enthusiasm. We're glad to answer any questions that arise.
