Keiichi Tsuchiya Wheels
I managed to get my hands on a set of Modex Keiichi Tsuchiya designed wheels. Tsuchiya is a very big name in Japan, most recently capturing last years JGTC GT500 title. His nicknamed is the 'Drift King', or 'Dori Dori', due to his excellent oversteer technique and style. Keiichi can be seen on most Option or Best Motoring International videos.
The wheels are a single piece forged design, coming in at 16x7 inches at the front, and 16x8 inches at the rear. The rims are also meant to be very light, at 5.75kg for the 17 inch version.
The rear wheels fitted beautifully but originally I found the front rims to sita little too narrow for my liking. I reinstalled my 20mm bolt on spacers and then lowered the front of the car around 10mm, and was very happy with the result.
Widened but not lowered:
Before and after widening with spacers (note rim now in line with guard):
Lowered a tad, more pics with more daylight:
Better shot with some light, looking very nice to my eyes indeed:
