I think this is the wheel I'll be getting next. What do you guys think. It's the Maido GR5. It should look good on an sc.

The thinking is over, I ordered this wheel a few minutes ago. The bad news, it's going to take a week to arrive. Ahhrrgg...oh well, patience is a virtue.

I got the same size I'm wearing now, 19x8f and 19x9.5r. Will use the same tires, 245-40f and 275-35r. The tires are practically new. I was very fortunate the rim shop said they would reimburse the full amount I paid for the Zenetti's. It feels like I'm getting the Maido/Maya's (same co.) for half price. That's not true but it feels like it.

That is great man, and your car is going to look , because you will now has a custom offset (rather than one size fits all) your lip is going to be bigger in the rear!!

Cant wait to see, good luck man!

Well OLT, looks like that wait you're talking about has come my way. My wheel shop has called all over the US and can't get this wheel. It's made in Japan. We all know what that means. Wait...wait...wait. They told me 4 weeks. I doubt it because they offered to show me other wheels. I called other shops around the country and was told 2 months. I don't know if I want to wait or maybe get the Maya DTS...which I like a lot but not as much. I'm patient with people but not with my toys. I'm leaning toward waiting though. When you spend this kind of money, get what you want.
