Right on the front page of the Dezod website you can place the preorder with deposit. You are correct. You pay the remainder once they come in.

These wheels will make your tire work better, cornering performance will be significantly improved. That's not to mention the reduced reciprocating mass' positive effect on acceleration and braking.

Feel free to call Paul at Dezod with any questions!

Huge update:

According to King at Enkei USA, we are looking at about 60 days or so before we see these wheels here to ship.

The wheels ordered in the 30 offset will have a center-bore specifically for the tC. So it will be truly custom for the car.

The wheels ordered in the 40 offset will have a larger center bore because it fits other applications. As a result, we will providing the Scion owners with hub centric rings free of charge.

The wheels have an optional center cap, which will run you $100 for the set if you'd like them. You can run the wheel with or without them. Choice is yours. Each and every person who ordered has been contacted by me personally to confirm some things and get this update.

haven't got this update in my email yet, I probably checked it too soon. Anyway, what do the centercaps look like?? I am interested as long as it flows well with the wheel. Do you have any pics? Are they going to be the same ones offered for the rpf1's?

And that is very awesome that the wheels in +30 offset are made for the tC only!

I left voicemails and sent emails to everyone. So you may have gotten one or both.

I will see if I can get pics of the center caps.

still haven't received anything. email is steve_o_22@sbcglobal.net. pm me if you need/want my number. Sorry for the off topic.

Would like to see pics of the center caps first for sure, or at least details of the design. I would like it if it was a solid black to match the wheel, other wise I dunno.

Paul,

Will these rims also have those red Enkei stickers? I'm debating on whether to get these or 5Zigen FN01R-C 17x8 +35 - they're about $90 less per wheel and I can still fit 235-245 on'em. But I prefer the Enkei brand... tough decisions..

IMPO, Enkei makes a much nicer quality wheel.


I emailed Enkei to see if they will have the red on them or not.

The decals are loose and you can place them at your consent or choose not to.

I'm not feeling the centercaps either, so that will be a no go for me as well.
