18s, yes? Can you get them in the proper offset for your car?

Very nice, I like! They would look most at home on a black supra, but they would work on a 240 also i think!

HP racing??
they look like Advan SIENNA Generation II knock off to me..well sorta
they do look somewhat similar..except for the outter ring and the center

but if i were to get rims like that..id get them in gold with polish lip and 17s biggest i would go for s14
... all these y-spoke mesh-like wheels look the same, it's hard to say which are ripoffs of which. :p
That said, they do look nice and quality, although I don't know what kind of reputation (if any) HP racing have. If you get them, make sure you get the correct offset, and nothing narrower than 9" (if they're 18s) ... :)
HP Evo's.. i was going to them for my S14 base model, but they provided me with the wrong size info. You can get them in 17x7 in a 38 offset, it's ****y that it's an 8-lug and not 4. The five lug in 18" is by 8 with a 38 offset.

:confused: :confused:
you mean 5-lug not 8.
Rims look nice, and i agree with adey, you could probably find loads of other rims with similar stylings, and all could be reputable companies.
Well are they 18s, that is kinda big, rims like those look good in big sizes but 18s just seem to big. Either way I am sure it'll look nice.

No, he means 8 lug, because 4x100+4x114.3. That's 8 holes :-P

How much does those rims run? I'm interested in getting those rims as well
What are they? 18x7? I hope not cause 205 tires look real skinny on a 18 inch wheel!
Also, what is the offset?
I like the rim... I dig the look... but I wouldn't buy them if they are 18 inch and lower than 7.5" wide.

There's a groupbuy for $590 shipped on the 17x8's, I think.
Looks like the wheels are made by HP Racing @ http://www.hpracing.com/ Look in new products, you will see they arent even done designing the new product section but the wheels are in there. They are called HP Evo's. I found them @ wheelmax.com for 225$ Each 18" dont think they make 17".
blatch, where did you find this groupbuy? Give us some details, they look good and since im poor it looks like ill need to get some +40 offset wheels to display my bling factor.

I got the 17's for $460 locally, thru a shop called www.wheelguyz.com , they had a bid thru ebay and i used the buy it now option. As some one stated... it's either a 8lug (4x114.3 and 4x100) or 5 lug (5x114.3). The 5 lug look extremely nice, but again, i'm a 4 lug with no desire to change any time soon.

They cost about 40 million dollars, too.
those advans are nice but i dunno bout the price. for mesh i would go with some BBS LM forged, well for s14 of course. but for average around $600 a pop i would rather have the nismo LM GT-3's. ya know. no one would happen to know where to find I could find some nismo gt-3 in 17inch?

I like the lip on those.. and I have always liked mesh wheels, until I got the Enkei Zoku copies on my s13 and had to attempt to keep them clean. Simpler designs are so much easier to maintain.

I like the Y-spokes at the stop, but I cannot stand any 3 spoke design.

I called Dayton Imports. HP Racing dropped the group buy and they had to return everyone's money. SO, I'm getting gunmetal 18" rota sub-zeros, i think.

Hey Nitekids, how much power are you putting out? Is it really enough to warrant the, what 255s on 18x9s? How much do those rims weigh? If theyre lightweight, more power to you, if not, why are you saying anything? I always see you talking about pizza cutters, but why would someone put on more rubber than they need?
