ok...Theres a "Mesh Thread","Extreme Strech Thread" and "FITMENT thread" - while all are a good @ "separating" what your looking for,there is not one for the 4 luggers out there that don't want to go 5 lug($$ or pref) and have some Decent wheels weither 15,16,17 & 18 (I'm sure is tough to find in decent sizes)..
COuld be a deciding factor for some (like me) to go 5-lug,even on a Daily driver.

This will let us know Whats avail and what Still Looks good even though we all know 5 lug has ALOT more selection.
Please pots your 4 lug Wheels..what size and offset and availability of them.

Anyone own these:

Elite 17x9 +15 Gloss Black for 4x114.3. Fits 4 lug 240sx's and gives a very aggressive look.

My thing w/ those Enjuku wheels was the width combined w/ The offset of them....D2 Rotas I think are like Gay 30+ offset from what I remember and damn sure not 8 wide.

Can't really see how this thread wouldn't be benificial to the site.Would Imagine there are still a few 4 luggers out there that don't really HAVE to go 5 lug.
I mean I wouldn't mind,but my money could possibly be spent elsewhere if the 4 lug wheels were "Right".

well when you actually MAKE the sportmaxs sit flush by adding spacers behind em...they dont look bad...but damn are they heavy *ugh*


but theres alot of shit talking that happens on here by people who spend 2500 bux on a set of wheels...and still run a stock KA...seems a little bassackwards to me *shrugs*

Well...I'm def not calling rota or Sportmax "Phatty"...but in the terms of Nice looking (who cares what Brand) and more importantly..Nice Offset (fitting) wheels.

I sure as hell would rather save the $1800+ wheels for the Supra and some Decent wheels for the daily.in 4 lug,hence, not going to 5 lug to put that money elsewhere.

I'm personally looking for a 17" wheel..but would like to see any.

I know these wont please 94% of zilvia, but I prefer a set of wheels that fit the car, still look good and dont have to pound/roll/pull/ect metal to make them fit. Seriously, you put these on, you dial in camber/ride height and not have to worry about warping your body just to please the internet warriors.

I think I should contribute. I have built the rest of my car around a "bang for the buck" mentality (as opposed to my bike, trying to get the most out of the machine while staying with race/class restrictions)... that being said, I got a screamin deal on some brand new 17x8.5 +20 Rota D2's in gold, and I think they look aiight.

Stepped lip looks pretty good, actually about 3" of lip total.
http://img124.imageshack.us/img124/7370/pic0126jk5.jpg

10mm spacer in the front to sit flush with 20mm wider fenders (my stock fenders were messed up, and red) - backs had to be rolled/hammered to tuck, even before the 10mm spacers. They sit flush ~
http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/8844/pic0131wa3.jpg

I raised the car about 1" in the front and 3" in the back at first, until I made sure I had clearance all around - this was at the Northridge meet at sky-high ride height, and before side skirts (not purrdy, but shows off the new wheels)

wtf - 16x8 and 17x8.5 rotas are not phatty. and and sportmax are made out of like lead those shits are so heavy - no way a 17x9.5 should weigh 31lbs. At least the rotas arent heavy.

A ton of the work eurolines come in 9 lug with sexy offset, then theres the weds kranze cerberus that yuri sold, or the many other work wheels offered in 4 lug, or gramlights or FNs.

11-10-2007, 06:15 AM
The Thread Title should be changed to "Mostly shitty wheels, but at least they're 4-lug!".

If you guys want to run heavy small diameter wheels with spacers, just find some Universal 4-luggers. They make a shit ton of wheels for Hondas with dual 4 lug pattern. Just stop rockin low quality wheels that are supposed to fool people into thinking you actually care about the quality of your rolling stock.

Knock-Offs are bullshit. Why not just buy a Ford Probe and put 180sx badges on it!

Nice looking (who cares what brand) = knockoff of the good brands. Rota Gridlines are wannabe TE37s, but with about twice the weight. Sportmax and "flush" dont belong in the same sentence unless youre using enormous spacers. To each his own, if you want to spend $500 on a shitty set of wheels so you can have more money for your Megan Racing downpipe, good for you.

There are just some people out there that would rather spend the money to do things right, even if it means keeping the stock KA a little while longer. I know I didnt spend $1800+ on my Volks... ;)

I didn't say he was or wasn't a dickface, nor did I say you were or weren't a dickface.

What I said is, I'm tired of people acting like you HAVE to put an SR in your 240sx if you want to be "cool". You will never see an SR in my car. Darn, I guess my car will never be cool. I'm not going to lose any sleep over that fact.

Calm down.

I'm also sick of people claiming they buy knock-off parts because they are "smart and saving money for other things". The truth is, they're just cheap. I'm the brokest person I know, so I save for quite a while before I buy any parts. If I'm going to make up my mind to buy something, and take the time to save my hard earned money for it, you can bet I'm gonna buy the quality I want. I'm not gonna sit back and make excuses about why I bought crappy parts instead. Too many kids in a hurry to build something that "looks" cool now-a-days.

Take this personally, or let it roll off your back. It doesn't really matter either way. This type of argument will go on forever. You spend your money how you want, and I'll spend mine how I want. My cash isn't going to knock-offs though.

I'm sorry but I never liked Hoshinos

Not on 240's at least

But even on old schools, it's hard to pull off and make look good

Kinda like the Advan OH-NO (look who they let in the back-doe), err, I mean Oni

With that being said, with 5 lug being so cheap, there really is no excuse for not going 5 lug

In the long run 5 lug always wins, in terms of price, availability, looks, SIZING, etc

Now maybe 2-3 years ago when there weren't the cheap 5 lug kits and you had to buy GTO, Attain, etc, then maybe it was more cost effective to stay 4 lug

Dood, my rewinds have lasted being submerged under storm surge from a category3 hurricane for 3 hrs being thrashed by everything in the vicinity that was caught under water. They have survived being hit by a crown victoria @ 40+ mph, have about a season and a half of hard autoXing and the occasional drift day full of dirt drops. The major damage from all of this was a rashed lip about 2 inches because when they were under water and my car was on its side being smashed against a concrete column and chain link fence. My car looked like it was dropped off a fucking 2 story building. Yet my horrible disgusting poor quality rewinds still held air with no major damage and cleaned up quite nicely I must say. No rust, no paint chips, just that 2 in rash.

I understand having pride in your 2k+ wheels to beat your chest about. But after everything I have been through I am glad that I didnt buy a set of volks/works/anything else that gets you posirep here. I am glad that my 500 dollar set of rewinds are still on my car today. NOW apart from the 7in wide problem, where do you see a problem with my wheels?

Some people just don't like knockoffs. I have TE37 knockoffs, I rolled on them for a month, because my SSRs aren't on this continent yet. Sure, they're far better looking than steelies, people think it looks good, but it's not something to be proud of, they're just.... there.

Some people just don't like knockoffs. I have TE37 knockoffs, I rolled on them for a month, because my SSRs aren't on this continent yet. Sure, they're far better looking than steelies, people think it looks good, but it's not something to be proud of, they're just.... there.
Even if knockoffs last, the way I see it, if you're going to spend money on your car, spend money on quality parts. It's just money, all it takes is some hard work and some time.

you sir speak the truth, and like logan said, 5 lug swaps aren't that expensive now, for the money you waste on knockoffs, you could have just gotten the conversion, and hell, waited until you could afford nice rims, or run some 300zx or s14 se's. no excuses, why do you think i'm still on se alloys, i've already got 30mm z brakes, and 5 lug conversion hubs, i'm just not rushing it and buying rims that are ugly, cheap, and heavy, i'm buying the exact ones i want, by the company that designed them, and hell for retail unless they go on group buy, mhm, which i will keep a look out for from logan since he's got the wheel game on lock

Dood...
...where do you see a problem with my wheels?

I can understand not wanting to put a high dollar set of wheels through that kind of punishment, and I'm glad you made it through it all ok.

As far your rewinds making it through, I've seen a double wide survive a class 4 Tornado on sheer luck. I still wouldn't want to live in one.

Like I said, this argument can go on forever. You spend your money how you like, I'll spend mine how I like. I'm not "beating my chest" about anything. I have not mentioned my wheels anywhere in this thread. I simply stated I don't want to spend my money on knock offs.

I think I should contribute. I have built the rest of my car around a "bang for the buck" mentality (as opposed to my bike, trying to get the most out of the machine while staying with race/class restrictions)... that being said, I got a screamin deal on some brand new 17x8.5 +20 Rota D2's in gold, and I think they look aiight.

Stepped lip looks pretty good, actually about 3" of lip total.

10mm spacer in the front to sit flush with 20mm wider fenders (my stock fenders were messed up, and red) - backs had to be rolled/hammered to tuck, even before the 10mm spacers. They sit flush ~

I raised the car about 1" in the front and 3" in the back at first, until I made sure I had clearance all around - this was at the Northridge meet at sky-high ride height, and before side skirts (not purrdy, but shows off the new wheels)

Speak up if your ROTA's are an original design that was R&D'd by the company before marketing instead of a knock-off of an existing design made by a company that may cost more, but actually put the work into designing something.

No, not every ROTA or Sportmax fails catastrophically under stress, and not every Work or Volk survives every track day. They are still original designs with R&D backing them. No, it's not all about the name, it's about the company behind the name.

I look at it this way...
I respect Rays Engineering and the upper echelon wheel manufacturers for their design and engineering. They are the pioneers and deserve credit for it. I understand how knockoff companies hurt the innovating companies, and I do think that it is weak that Rota is a company that just replicates designs from those manufacturers. It is hard to have much respect for a company that has no original designs.

However, whenever the subject of Rota wheels comes up, everybody talks about how weak they are and how they will crumble if you look at them wrong. I've also noticed most of the people giving these opinions have no direct experience with wheels in the first place. If the Driftworks team ran the P45R's on all 4 of thier demo cars for multiple seasons without failure, i'd say they are proven to be durable. If they are good enough for them, they are good enough for me.

Yeah, they are cheap wheels. I'm sure that their casting process is nowhere near the standards of Rays Engineering. But they have been known to hold up to abuse.

The fact is, I got a set of wheels made to my custom specifications for 900 bucks. Where else are you going to find that?
I'm not a pro, my wheels look good, and get the job done, thats what matters to me. priorities, priorities.
I can see why someone would want to drive a primered car for 3 years, saving up a dime from every pay check to drop on a set of $3,000 super wheels, but that isn't logical to me, personally. It all comes down to priorities...

I am agreeing with you on this man. I dont buy rewinds because they are cheap. I bought them because I liked them and they were a great price. Eventually I will upgrade to a wonderful set of respectful wheels, until now I will enjoy beating the piss out of these disposable nice looking wheels.


The double wide comment .......I am still laughing about that. Thank you for making my day, I needed a laugh.

This is a harsh arguement and it CAN go on forever. Just let people be and let them rock what they rock. When I can afford to be a rockstar I will be a rockstar.

I think it's hilarious how the 'phatty' 4 lug wheel thread consists primarily of wheels that fit the following characteristics:

<9" or 20+ offset or 17" or below

Only a few posted have managed to not fall into all 3 of those categories.

I only have one set of wheels (besides my 'beater' set of BNR32 wheels) that has 8" fronts in 17" diameter, all the rest are at least 9" front.

When I hear someone say 'phatty', and after I've stopped laughing my ass off because they actually used that term, I think of something that is worthy of praise or desire.
So far, nothing in this thread is 'phatty' to me.

Thanks Robby ~ that's the Arcadia meet, btw. Never seen you there.

I didn't post because I think anyone is going to look at my s13 and be surprised, I posted because no one else put pics up of what I consider to be a very common setup (s13 on 17x8.5 +20s).

The thing that no one considers when bashing the cheap wheels is that it's not like buying cheap suspension/engine/aero - cheap wheels do not depreciate, especially if you got a good deal. Whenever I do decide to go 5lug/baller, I can post my wheels/tires on the for sale section for exactly what I paid for them, and they'll sell.

I laugh and the people with $2.5k in wheels that still live in their Mom's house/some shit apartment with 8 roommates/etc. I'll take my Rotas if it means I look at them from my South Pas condo's window.

this is coming from the guy who has more lighting mods done to his car than anything else..."you got an SR" "nah man...i spent all my money on ricer tail lights cause my civic use to have em"

dood...before you start hard parkin...at least make it a poser mobile with a SR

I'm sorry, but crappy parts+SR20= posermobile. There is NOTHING special about an SR20, NOTHING! The KA is an extremely underrated engine. Stock it makes almost as much torque as the SR does. Both the single and dual cam KA's are used in SCCA GT3 and GT2 classes respectively and with stock bore/stroke make pretty close to 300hp normally aspirated. I have seen 700hp turbo KAde's, don't believe me go to AMS performance/turbo 240's website. You would be VERY hard pressed to squeeze that much horsepower out of ANY SR engine. Back to the subject though who the hell thinks that their fucking sportmax wheels qualify as "phatty"? I would consider a couple of the rota's that are on this thread to be at least cool, but definitely not "phatty". My 5-zigen's are far better quality then any of the rota or sportmax crap and I still don't think they qualify as "phatty". Stop posting crap on this thread, I wanna see more dope-ass old skool wheels.

i mean tell me if my thinking is WAY out of line here...because im really confused as to why i and a few other people in this thread need to stand up for themselves just because they bought CHEAP decent looking wheels...especially those of us who bought them because we just needed something slightly larger for the time being to handle a good amount of power generated by the engine???


Wheels are not only about looking good, they are about performance. Cheap ass wheels are FUCKIN HEAVY, they can flex more, and they can break easier. Really there is nothing wrong with rockin some budget wheels, that's your choice. There IS something wrong with posting your budget wheels on a "phatty wheel pic thread". That is why you are being flamed, besides your "look at me I'm cool cuz I got an SR" attitude. Also I know that there are very high HP SR's out there, I never said it was impossible just EXTREMELY difficult.

I always dog on people... even my friends for buying knock off wheels.

they just look cheesy

like going to chucky cheese's for your 21 birthday party.......

fuck sportmax their wheel "lip" looks so fake it makes me sick.

if you look hard enough, you can find a set of quality 4lug/9hole wheels used(and new) with a "phatty" offset (+20 or less on a 9") for a reasonable price

but typical dumbass american 240 owner likes things cheap and easy.

"but I need beater wheels"

then you need a beater car, because when you say that its saying "I can't take care of my own care due to my lack of driving skill/care for it"

Don't become the sterotypical 240 owner (pay twice for one mistake), brake away from the trend! You can wait, unless your dying from aids.

if it makes you feel better
"Canadian pro drifters use sportmax wheels"

With the exception of maybe two wheels, this thread has made me thankful I went 5-lug, because it seems like all I'm seeing are knock-offs, and as you can imagine, as a wheel designer, I don't think highly of knock-offs.

Not totally flush, but okay. I might space them later. They arent mad tyte jdm, but they arent knock off's either. I think they are Australian, lol. 18x8/9 +20 Axis Widetracks.

Those Axis Widetracks actually look pretty nice, and Axis is definitely higher quality than all that knockoff bullshit. You're the first one Ive seen rocking them on an S chassis. They definitely arent Australian though lol.

Quoted for truth... Even if you have spacers to push out your 17x9 Sportmaxes to +0, they are still the same cheap ass junk they were when they were +35.

The Thread Title should be changed to "Mostly shitty wheels, but at least they're 4-lug!".

If you guys want to run heavy small diameter wheels with spacers, just find some Universal 4-luggers. They make a shit ton of wheels for Hondas with dual 4 lug pattern. Just stop rockin low quality wheels that are supposed to fool people into thinking you actually care about the quality of your rolling stock.

Knock-Offs are bullshit. Why not just buy a Ford Probe and put 180sx badges on it!

well what you should have said if your gonna run 4 lug run a set of work's because anyone who know's work wheels knows that they come in any lug pattern any offset you want turst me the Vxx's looks so mint on a 4 lug s14 lol

Jesus Christ, this isnt the "Post pictures of your disgustingly ugly ass wheels on a 4x4 240 thread."

It's the PHATTY 4 lug thread. Your wheels are worse than rolling on Sportmax or Rotas, and we've already done made fun of those enough in this thread.

You even know that your wheels suck, yet you still posted them for some reason in this thread.

Well first off all drop the attitude and continue the debate. The problem is, after spending almost $16,000 in my car because i only buy the best engine and suspension parts i could afford. Things like "cosmetics" have taken a back seat until recently. So i got something cheap that would work. I on a side note, I built my car simply because i want to enjoy driving it. I dont require extremely high performace wheels... i would like them, so they will wait.

Second, renting a burton... i wouldnt let my worst enemy ride that garbage. my point was, me being in MY profession i REQUIRE my equipment to be the absolute top of the line. Where as a recreational snowboarder, can get away with cheap gear because they ride under 20 days a season. That was the example... I am a recreational car guy, you are above that. I am a professional snowboarder, you are the recreational one in that example. nothing more, no attacks, so i expect none in return.

ok, everyone understands that sometimes you have to make compromises in cosmetics for the sake of performance, its ok im not mad at you for it everyone has done it one time or another.

In the case of "Phatty 4-lug wheels thread", if you know you bought cheap wheels as a compromise why would you post in this thread, theres a generic pic thread where you wouldnt piss anyone off by posting you sport max wheels.

DragonUSMC
11-15-2007, 11:07 AM
^ok putting it that way would have been a much better argument for that other guy. But reguardless if people are happy about their wheels let them be happy. I dont bust people for doing things to their cars that i hate, i mean whats the point. If everyone did everything the same way it would be kinda boring. Besides... my wheels dont look terrible by any means. Am i happy with them, yes. Is there something out there that i would like to get, of course, and one day it will come. But why not have a thread where people like me who wont go to 5 lugs can see what else is out there for me to upgrade to? I dont see why this is a bad thread, and therefore dont see the need for the hostility towards us poor folks.

On the snowboarding note. I am no longer a competeing pro. I had to quit that many moons ago because quite frankly i suck compared to what some of these kids are doing now a days. I am a buisness side pro. I am the head snowboard instructor at my resort and the Terrain Park Manager. I found out its alot more relaxing, no stress and i even get better deals on all types of gear going this route, rather then being stuck riding for single companies. I mean, seriously... there is a 13 year old on the team that i coach who will surpass all of my trick book this year. he finally got my front flips, rodeos, and misties last season.. so now all he can do is go past me =( its sad but I'm happier doing things this way.

and if you ride in Iowa, stop down to www.skisnowstar.com (http://www.skisnowstar.com) and remind me your a Zilvia member and i'll get you a free lift ticket. if you ride at sundown i'll have to talk to my guys up there and see if i can get you a deal.

well, it's not "1 of 3 on this board" because i picked these up from azndoc, and from what i understand, it was at the time, 1 of 3 IN bronze, IN 4 lug, IN +17, IN 17x9.5. could have possibly been 1 of 3 in cali? now yes im sure the count has risen by now. i guess it's pointless to speculate beyond this point, and oh well i thought it was cool at the time. just happy to be rollin on works.

Best you just did a search for the info you need.

There's no performance benefit, and in fact it takes longer to swap wheels at the track. 1/4th longer.

But you can find WAY better wheels and don't have to resort to the lameness that is amassed in this thread, you can actually just go buy some sweet wheels.

UfoZ8mycow - :) Heh, thanks. You can rock whatever wheels you want since you actually race it. Lot of respect for 240s that track and don't just park hard.

My friend spent almost the same amount of $$ I did but has never tracked his 240 in 3 years. Oh well, if parking lots and street races satisfies then cool...but it's not enough for me:)

to the snowboard instructor, what brand do you ride then? and i do agree that all brands of shit is going to break. ive broke a few burton boards, broke my forum board, and got a board stolen.

i love how people think that buying expensive wheels translates into tuning skill.

i bought some cheap parts. i bought some expensive parts. SO THE EFFF what?

i have a rattle can paint job and bought my wheels at the junkyard. i also spent $3500 on coilovers and suspension links. bottom line, who gives a s#!t?

S13 with stock body and old style (Hoshino, mesh, Equip 01) wheels can pull off small diameters pretty well imo.
