Clears our F88 11.75x1.25 BBK without spacers
+32 offset on 15x9 gives better shock tower clearance at full bump than our previous wheel
+32 offset on 15x9.5 give better fender clearance in NA rear than +27 or +29 fitments
I gotta say, the bronze is growing on me. We have done three different bronzes over the years. The 17" 6ULR back in 2009 was a light sand color, matte. Not bad but a bit boring. G2-3 was darker and also matte. Kinda muddy. G4 was bright bronze and full gloss. Came out a bit too bright I think,
This bronze is satin, which is key. Lets it glow a bit without being too blingy. Just enough orange to bring the copper element out. I don't like bronzes that have no orange and are just dull gold.
Factoid: Bronze is an alloy of copper and tin, which is why it has that orange component.
So for this bronze I started with our bright G4 bronze, made it satin instead of gloss. Then added a teeny bit more orange and red to hint at the copper side. It might be too much copper for some people but I like it. The thought is that the color won't be too strong against red, black, green or white cars where it compliments the best. Time will tell.
Satin bronze looks rad. Interested to see what it looks like in person. The Advanti bronze was one of my lesser favorites as well. Similar to the first 6UL’s mentioned above. Just a handful of shades off from being grey. Get some brake dust on em and they look like gunmetal until you’re up close.
This might’ve been covered in another thread but what’s the latest on 15x10 4x100 6UL’s and will they be available in the same bronze?

No ETA on 10-11-12. We'll make limited numbers in bronze. The folks that are passionate about bronze are a distinct minority so we do maybe one small run a year. When you see the bronze wheel on our site you are looking for, don't hesitate.
The 15x9 & 9.5 clear our F88 BX1175 without spacers. They should clear any other 11.75 x1.25 BBK without spacers as well.
The 15x9.5 is a +32. We saw that the +27 and +29 fitments out there are a little tight on the rear fender lips of the NA with 245's so we brought them in a bit. You can still use spacers to fine tune if need be.
16x9 Nickel 6UL order coming when I get paid (15/03/2024)!
pre-Ordered!
(was half-tempted to go with Beskar but fear they'd be too close to matching my Titanium paint since I like them to contrast)
Nickel 6ULs look "The Sex" on Titanium MX-5s:
I'd like to see Beskar on a Sunlight Silver car since, IMO, only silver wheels look good on Sunlight Silver (black makes the car look "heavy", Nickel looks ordinary, Bronze is all kinds of wrong, but Beskar MAY be "Just right!"
Emilio: Do you have 2x Beskar wheels and access to a Sunlight Silver car to show them on?
Oh man, Lokiel! Your pictures made my decision much more difficult. My MSM once had a set of 15x8 Nickel 6ULs for track use but the owner sold them locally just before I found the the listing (1800 miles away). I've been contemplating switching from the 16x7 Konig Feather rims that came on the car with RT615K+ (215/45), I need new tires in about 6 weeks before it comes out of winter storage. A set of 225 or 245 on Nickel 6ULs sure would look nice on my MSM (FM2 Garret upgrade, GT2560 running 16-18 psi on the built engine).

Since you mentioned it, why is there a +.5" option on this generation? I've always associated that with "stance wheels" where people are trying to get some more stretch (yo).

Specifically for NA owners wanting to run 245's without flares. Like I said, really small niche.
