panasport C5C2 - how are the lips so deep?

[redsuns3838]

i was thinking about getting some panasport C5C2s, and have been checking on a couple sets and doing some research, and i believe from what i read on some websites is that they come in a car-specific application. meaning the offset and width are already set. and they are prety conservative offsets.
but if thats true, how did this car- http://img374.imageshack.us/img374/3373/pana34bx.jpg
get such low offsets? could he have flipped the face around and be running inner barrel on the outside? or custom barrels? or maybe they do make it in custom offsets and what i read was wrong? anyone have any ideas?

also do those look like 18s? i thought C5C2 only came in 17?
anyone care to shed some light on the topic?
thanks

yahoo auctions are always crawling with panas...ive been thinking about getting a set, but theyre usually 10s up front and 11s in the rear (sounds like what you want)...the price really tempts me every so often...

[LB.Motoring]

Those are cool but I don't think anyone on here would spend that kind of money.

I'd just buy Work Meister 3PC if you want rivets and step lip.

But then again same issue, don't think most people can ante up for them.

[McRussellPants]

Meisters are wack compared to C5C2s.


lordy, sexy style knows how to hold it down.

C5C2R.

Insane Money... 17x9 -3 and 18x10.5 -10 or something around those offsets iirc on the Sexy Knights 180.

same wheel rebaged.

[Nizzan4u2nv]

One of my favorites. Damn, even the fake ones are still rediculously priced.

[PITCH]

I dont beleive they are fakes. Thinking they are made by Panasport and then rebaged by Inspection. Similar to the Junction Produce Sacaras that are mase by OZ and then labled as JP wheels.

I just found my inspiration for doing well in school.

I agree, but at least they bring it down to a price range for us mere mortals.

I'm sure there are people on here who could afford them but very few who could pull it off that well.

[redsuns3838]

thanks for responding. Chmercer im well aware of howmuch they cost, no need to flame me.. I just didnt know they made custom offsets i thought they only made set sizes. i save when i need to save on things and spend when i want to spend.

and BTW, i can afford the wheels for all you haters. so go back to putting vinyl on your taillights.

i thought about buying some meisters, still thinking about it. too bad they dont have them in gold. i could always get em done by a shop in like champagne gold... i dont really like the gold on the C5C2s either, it looks good in the pic i posted but under daylight its kinda crappy yellow. more of a champagne gold would be cooler.

thanks driftoslut for the specs. and PITCH for the inspection site. i knew they were rebadged somewhere but i couldnt remember the name.


ive seen a lot of C5C2s on yahoo japan, but theyre all high offset and made for chassic specific. nothing custom.

[chmercer]

ok dude be my guest

its obvious that you can throw down for 7 grand worth of wheels when you are trying to sell a 15 dollar crossmember

[big_schaf]

^......haha owned

Any of us can...its called a credit card. :gives:

[ixfxi]

this is like the player hater ball awards on chappelle show.. HATE HATE HATE!!!

haha seriously, you have people hating that the wheels are expensive, AND you have people hating saying you cant afford that shit. and on top of all that, you have people hating even IF you can afford to buy that shiiiiet.

seriously, who really cares? people buy what they want to buy. shit, i used to suck dick in order to fix up my car...

(okay fuckers, thats a joke from dazed and confused).. hah

[chmercer]

the point is that about once a month some guy will roll in saying he wants to buy insert expensive shit that is near impossible to get from japan. then sombody says you cant afford it. then the guy will get all offensive "NO I CAN I WORK 90 HOURS A WEEK AT PIZZA HUT IM ROLLIN" and then the thread turns into a shit pile (not that it wasnt a shitpile thread in the first place). anybody who could legitimatley afford to buy these wheels (hideously expensive msrp of wheels + japanese brokerage + air or boat freight) does not own nor care about 240sx.

[redsuns3838]

jae tea- good job on the pointless post. sorry most with a 7000$ limit on their credit card can probably afford them in cash too... quit swinging from ppls nuts and go reply constructively to someones post.


chmercer- i tried to smooth things out with you via PM and u still remain a dick? wut gives? i have a crossmember sitting in my garage and want to put it up for sale. whats the big deal? i dont give a rats ass if u guys are sick of these threads, dont reply to them. like i said, quit the ethugging and hating.

just cuz u have a computer screen to hide behind doesnt mean u have to be a dick.

mods please lock the thread, its wreaking of ignorance.

[McRussellPants]

Exactly.

Anyone that can afford C5C2s doesn't need to ask "where I can get them and how do I get the right offset"

[redsuns3838]

did i ask where to get them? no.
i just asked why they were such low offset because I THOUGHT they only came in set offsets and did not do custom offsets. thats ALL

[ayuaddict]

well now that you know, go buy some, the pic thread is waiting.

[McRussellPants]

hahah

"I'll show them" *cards 7000$ set of C5C2s.*

five months later, stock S14 on panas in pic thread.

lol

Damnit this turned into a whinefest!

Found these today on YAJ:

18x9.5 offset is listed at 20.85, but I'm guessing it's not a weird number like that

18x10.5 offset listed as 24.1?? wtf
http://img171.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/users/7/2/2/0/bjmkg738-img600x450-1154707764dsc00206.jpg


Anyhow both auctions have STARTING bids of almost $1k (two auctions for the set).
