Canada only

Only in Canada, you say?

I found some affordable form flowed wheels from Touren for my square setup.

Comes in 18x8 in 40mm offset
2 styles available 10 spoke or modified 5 star
Great price for a form flowed wheels as opposed to most casted wheels at this price point
Ships from Canada so free shipping and no brokerage or duties
Cost about $600 for a set of 4. YES that's 600 loonies

And cheaper than buying from the states. Google wheelviz or partsengine for online shopping.

I bought 6 for track use. Cost about $1000 with tax for 6 wheels.

Just received them. Haven't done a test fit but the vanes seem to have plenty of clearance for large brake callipers.

Quality seems reasonable; clean machining, no paint drips, etc. Didn't weigh them but seems similar of OE weight of 26+ lbs

I'm surprised we aren't seeing more deals in Canada on Chinese made parts as Canadians don't have to pay the Trump Tariff of 27.5% duty.

EDIT: there's 2" of clearance for the callpers

Where did you end up ordering from? and did you buy 18x8 in 40mm offset?

Looking forward to your pics!

I got mine at partsandengine but wheelviz is the same price. They are 18x8 40mm offset.

I'm not planning to install them until spring after getting some suspension work done.

Plan is to use a square setup with 235/40r18 with either the Nexen or Falken 200TW tires. Both tires are on the wider side and similar to other 245/4o tires.

Would you mind putting one on a scale? I'm curious, because not only are flow formed wheels stronger, they should be lighter than cast wheels comparatively as well.

I don't have a scale but the wheels are not that light.

Spec claims 28lbs for 18x8 which is about OE weight.

If you want lighter, go with the Flow One. That's what I was going to buy until I saw the Touren which ended up being close to 1/2 the cost landed in Canada.

Post some pics of the car once the wheels are on. I'm considering a set for myself, would be great to see how the car looks with them.
