I looked at both wheels as well. I went with the forged TE37, instead of the semi-forged CP35s. I was told forged wheels were stronger.

Actually, this wheel has been out awhile now. I think I've seen them in Dazz's magazine ads since the middle of last year. I think since you don't see it on cars that much, it just seems new.

I have a set of these on my Civic...they look awesome and weigh less than 10lbs for sure. I think i paid around 400 each for 16's. Not exactly sure...wife was in charge of the mods for the civic.

Why cant any manufacturer come up with a wheel design (for the s2000) that has nice clean designs to the center of the wheel, like the stocker? It seems all the wheel makers have these wierd mounting hole patterns that destroy the lines of the wheel....and center caps that dont fit? It certainly is one of the more attractive designs Ive have seen in a while though.

Okay a made a couple more calls and you can fit this wheel on a S2000. The biggest size they have is 17x7.5 in the front and 17x8 in the rear. The wheels weighs about 12.5 lbs. each. And if silver surfer can post some pictures of his civic, then we can see what the wheel looks like on a car.

That is an incredible light wheel (7lbs). I would hate to drive over potholes with those wheels though...It looks pretty sweet.

make sure you get what you paid for...Racing Hart makes two versions of these wheels one are forged (superlight) but cost twice as much as the regular cast which weigh as much as boulders...

I actually had a set of these installed on my car a couple of weeks ago for the Sport Compact Car shoot. These were compliments of Neuspeed/Dazz. I really like the look and with the BFG K Force the car has great grip. My understanding is that the 16"s weigh in around 8lbs and the 17"s at about 13lbs. I have 17x7's and 17x8's.

I have been looking at these wheels for a couple of weeks now...

I called Dazz...last week and they quouted a list price of $480.00 for the 17x8 and $470.00 for the 17x7.

I have been thinking about getting these wheels...since God knows when I will get my OZ's...
