I can finally show this now...been keeping it a secret for months already.

[Arch5]

Those are B-E-A-utiful!!!!!!!  I guess we now know what the Mines is sporting.

[Zume_GTR]

IMHO that wheel is exponentially nicer than those mini spoke BBS designs.  For the GTR I think a strong chunky design works best.

[EV0LVE]

it looks cheap, reminds of old tsw wheels. maybe it's just the picture and finish...

YES!!!! Thank you! That's the brand I was having tough time remembering. I knew those new RAYS look familiar. Yeah, I have to agree with you, they don't look all that good. For some reason RAYS hasn't turned out many attractive wheels recently. That goes for the new NISMO club sport wheels, too.

[Nitrouz]

I think it's the color and finish...I think it may look pretty good when on the car.

I want those wheels and the CF lip on top of the spoiler. Its the best wheel imo for the GTR, it looks kinda stock with lesser spokes. Awesome.

Anyone know how much they weigh?

[k3vkoh]

^The Mine's GT-R is so sick! Everything is subtle and nice, not overdone like some others. And the quality looks world class.
Anyway, I'm usually not a fan of even spoke rim, but I wouldn't mind rocking some of the 2nd gen. TE37 on my white GT-R.

[MindlessOath]

This mines r35 has the new mooncraft wing and engine cover as well as the new TE37 gen2's.

There is more data on these to release in the comming week. stay tuned :D

right now these are forged monoblocks. They will be sized up to 20" and final sizing and prices will be out soon.

so, Nitrouz... obviously you'll be getting these, but are you going to keep your Time Attack theme and  add the red stripe?

[Nitrouz]

Maybe not.  Don't keep my wheels long enough anyways.

But what I am getting is the new Rays color.......;)

[Greekz33]

very true about not keeping your rims for long    is the color you're talking about the High Metal Bronze?... or another, more secret, color?  

[Nitrouz]

Nope.  that's it.  I think it'll go great with the red car.

[Greekz33]

i agree, it's an awesome looking color.  if i had the funds right now i'd swap my merc. silver GT-7's on my super black z to a set of high metal bronze in a heart beat

[Toykilla]

When will these be available? And will they be available for other cars or GTR only? I want some for the Z in flat black

[MindlessOath]

it will be available for any car. a few diff colors and up to 20";s

im working on getting prices and sizing spacific information, but its not in my hands yet.

I will try and get a weight for the 20"s i belive someone in the know said 24lbs or their about... but take that with a grain of salt, it has yet to be confirmed.

they had these on the m3 as well. Im not a fan of the silver for som reason, but i dont mind the black.  

[jaspergtr]

24lbs?  seems heavy.  nice rims.  what is this high metal bronze color you speak of?

[MindlessOath]

The stock rims are 27lbs for 20"'s
the nismo rims are like 25lbs

[jaspergtr]

yeah, i agree it's a lot lighter than stock...  but i recall (perhaps incorrectly), that the 19's were like 20lbs.  i find it a bit conservative to estimate 24lbs per wheel...  i was hoping for 22lbs.  

every little bit helps...  either way, fantastic looking wheel.

waiting for pricing...
