Quote from: Ardent on May 16, 2024, 20:52Do these come in stock widths or same as you already have?

They are available from 5J even. Used prices though are as far as I am prepared to drain my slush fund* and thát is usually 6J , 6.5J but /J is ok too really. It is what the RPF1s are and The 195 plus 205 I use are perfect on that.

* at the moment in relation change. Well that is routine I hear you think but the changes are ´a bit´ larger than routine.** You know that my ´come time, come solution´ is one of my guidelines so not letting the possible train wrecks spoil enjoying the ride. It is a bit like tyre choice befor a race: You can réally only decide on what ís, not on what míght be as that is a gamble.

** moving house, maybe country, changing love, maybe marry, heck she can even fall pregnant; things of that magnitude  ;)   Ahhhh la vida es bella  :))

So, back to Rays CE28N  8)

Ah, that makes sense now.  I get why the FL unit is in a PFL!  Not sure if Toyota did any wiring mods for the FL but hopefully others will help.  Perhaps the Portbury crew tucked that 1 wire bit away when fitting the Sony.

Quote from: Ardent on May 16, 2024, 16:09These however, I get.

They are hot forged with extreme pressure and then some: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5glBHADoug  hence they are considerably thinner yet stronger.
As such they look quite spectacular and the bronze appears slimmer to the eye to boot.
The CE28N was launched in ´99 and like the RPF1 is a real JDM boy racer classic.

Whatever I looked up before. It wasn't these. Must have been some other design.
Didn't like those at all.

These however, I get.

well, it is only money, not body parts and I dó have the slush fund. Would be nicer to sell the Enkeis though before ordering these.
