Looks like there's a Ti Rx Wiretap:

dagnamit why do Japan get all these great exclusives? how cool does that Ti-Matte Black Wiretap look? i've been thinking about getting a pair of Wiretaps as RX eyeglasses, and i would absolutely love these Matte Black...

i'll probably end up with a pair of Cobalt or Pewter Wiretaps though.

Holy crap, take a gander at them Asian Fit nosepads!

Is this the start to the Asian Specific RXs? I hope there are more Matte Blacks coming!

Those really cool. Why does Japan get all the good exclusives? They get it all, Jordans, Playstations, Oakleys, WBC championships, what's next Escalades?

Deep breaths guys. It's quite possible they aren't Japanese exclusives; stuff has been shown on Japanese websites long before it's been available in North America.

Unless Japan has an Oakley factory there, I'm sure quite sure that since all Oakleys (Sunglasses) are manufactured in USA, some may still be in North America, catering to the Asian minority. Even WBC juliets can be found in other parts of the world, not just Japan. There is still hope!

Has anyone tried ordering from Kineidou before? I sent them several emails in English, all have been ignored.

I've not ordered there, sry - but I saw that they have BTO racing jackets! I heard members speaking about Spike, Gascan and Fives 3.0, but Racing Jacket?

i agree Jake, how cool would Matte Black/Ruby Clear look? i'll be happy with just the Ti-Matte Black frames.

EC, here's hoping they'll be available elsewhere but i'm not so sure... aren't Wiretaps discontinued?

I thought they were disc. Why do they have screws in the nosepads? And, some Oakley Rx frames are made in Japan.

If they are discontinued, then it is strange. Maybe Wiretaps are huge sellers in Japan? I've seen more people here wearing them as Rx than as sunglasses as well though.

And Racing Jacket has been BTO for a long time. Well over a year at least I'd say.

Racing Jacket has beem BTO since near its inception. But Wiretap is an item for teh PL sale and it's on markdown in the SGH system. Most likely disc as sunnies, maybe not Rx yet.

I wonder 'Why'?? I mean... 'Why' not made in USA? (O_o)a

And let me rephrase what I just said:
I would very much like a pair of Ti-Matte Black Wiretap with RED O logo & Clear Ruby lens! =)
