OK, Brian, thanks. You are always very attentive to our questions and answer when you can.

On the scale....CONFIRMED 12.8 pounds.

We got just 4 of them. Who wants to buy the first set?

This is a bit small for a NC MX-5, isn't it?

PS: If you get any 17" sets in (or 18", I guess), I'll put a set on my RX-8.
:D

They aren't for the NC. And, since they are 4x100 and 15-inch, they won't fit on the NC's lugs or over its brakes.

They are intended for the NA/NB.

More realistically, probably a 35-ish offset. Light weight, looks like great brake clearance (I'll be running big brakes front and rear)...definitely interested in hearing more when it's available.

I do see RPF1 in 17x7 4x100 ET30. That would work for an e30.

You're right, and thank you. I am really looking for an 8 though, and I'd like to stay with 15's if possible. Combined with the brake kit I'll be running, and the list of candidates is small indeed.

When the PF01 becomes more widely available, I'll find one and measure for brake clearance.

We sold the first of the 15x8s PF01s that came through and they had TONS of brake clearance. Easily clears our big brakes and I have a hard time thinking of any kit that fits in a 15 inch wheel that won't clear in this wheel.

That sounds great Brian, I'm really looking forward to seeing these in person. Are you going to stock any of them at your shop? I may just fly over a little later this year.

The popular Massive (brand name, but it's a description also) BBK uses a very shallow hat dimension and Wilwood FSL calipers, so clearance at the spokes and the outer barrel is very tight. E30 guys don't have too many issues with running spacers (perfect offset is +20) and if these clear the brakes I think you'll sell a few for the application.
