Hey guys do you think its worth it to buy 4 5zigen FN01'c rims 17x7, offset 35 for $400? 2 of the tires have about 90% tread and the other 2 rims are still new in the box. Give me some advice please! Oh yeah the color is silver and there are no curb rash or damages on them.

that's a good deal, but to me that's money wasted... 17x7 +35 are FWD status.

Unless you have good fitment, FN01's are just regular old ugly rims.

wheels for $$ you are in the sportmax range, so value wise it is a good deal. the question is, is it worth while to you to get them for how you envision you car to look like. the wheels are good quality and realitively light, just some look down on them as they are pretty common.

now you know and knowing is half the battle!

Im running on stock SE's man anything right now looks good! LOL. But iono about how the rims will look on my s13 hatch with just kyb silver and eibach sportlines. Damn didnt know choosing rims would be this hard.

^^ What he said. I wouldn't even get them for drift spares... I'd want at least 17x8 for my spares.
Well unless those tires are good tire then maybe.

Get some nice stuff. Save up. Don't do what I did get some cheap stuff. If you do at least be able to use them later aka like drift spares.

i have fn01r's 17x9 +20 offset, pretty sweet, not too expensive, run a 215/40 up front and a 235/40 in the rear with a bit or neg camber and you'll clear coilovers with no need to pull or roll the fenders.

It's the small case if you want Flush fitments. No no don't get me wrong about just having anything else is better then the stock stuff.

In the end also bigger wheel and better offset give a better traction. If you think about it. Again it's your choice.

Thats true... i should just hold myself back and wait for another good deal to come by, plus i still got like 60% tread left on my SE's no need to rush and make an irrational decision that i will regret. Thanks for all the help guys i appreciate it!

if it's for look then save your $$$ buy some coilovers. then sell you suspension you have now, and then buy other wheels! your car will look better cuz it's lower and handling will be better, and you will love the new look of your ride!
