a paint job
and a hot model to pose by it whenever i park it.

like if park at the supermarket she would pose and such by it. park at night at home, same thing. work, same thing, etc

yeah. :)

but if it was a track car, stripped, dipped, spot welded, aligned and custome suspension and engine work all around :) heheh..and body work..interior etc. a good $$$ project

but this is just for wheels

TE37s in black. :)

when the time comes i will spend as much money as possible on my wheels, as long as its what i want...luckily, the wheels i like arent that expensive. i am looking into getting some blitz Z2's, Gram light Pro's, or SSR SP-1/Work S1-3piece...there are alot great looking rims out there!
i especially hate it when people put cheap rims on a really nice looking car, it just messes up the whole flow of the car.
If you want some great looking rims that are expensive as hell but worth it in some peoples' opinion...HRE has some nice 3pc wheels!! but sometimes they look a little wierd on some jap. cars.
IMO, i would stick to the higher end JDM brands..Nismo, Blitz, Advan, Work, SSR, some volks(getting played out hard by lots of knock offs, but almost everything has knock-offs now days), and WEDS...


are you getting new rims NITEKIDS??you should look at some Blitz 03's, or maybe some Work VS-KF's in GM. or some Bronze Nismo wheels would look sick! i should be getting some new rims next month...and then i am getting my G4 kit and car repainted
and then my exterior will be done! Finally! MY kit is big like yours, so i would go with some 18"...just dont get any of my choices..hehe

26" Spinners!

But really.. if money were no object, why in the HELL would you order a set of rims off-the-shelf? I'd go down to Volk and say, "Look in this briefcase. There is a buttload of cash in there. I need 4 custom rims, so sit me down with a design guy now. Then, delete the program when I leave."

without a doubt I would get some badass HRE wheels. They are so beautiful, but are around 1,200 a wheel, so no luck for me.

Some like these:

Gram Lights 57Pro GOLD! w/a silver lip, still deciding on 17's or 18's, depends on if i get a kit, but w/o 18's there wouldn't be much of a lip would there now?

HRE? whoa why are those so expensive?

yea! :aw: those, HRE's are very nice! i like the seemless lip!
i just wouldnt go for the Volk GT-C's though...i have seen way to many knock offs, and there are too many better looking 5 spoke wheels out there, like gram lights, SP-1, S1's, blitz Z2's..What i want to see is some nice split 5 spoke wheels on an S14...like some Work VS-SS or Blitz type 03's...

but for nitekids car, i would go with some SSR SP-1's, or some bronze TE37's with a nice low offset....you say you already chose though...so what did ya get??? :confused:

those 3 spoke advans, black with a blue lip. somethind like 16x8's in the front +30 offset, 16 or 17x9 in the back, +5 or +10 maybe, something that would work with a 30mm fender extension.

although putting HRE's on a 240 is kind of odd considering the wheels cost more than most people pay for the whole car...

btw those wheels are UGLY. ass ugly, i wouldnt rock those. the mseh ones were nice, but those last ones..nasty!

For a nice Spoked Rim:

Volk TE-37 (loved these since I saw them on the DC Sports Type R back in the day, look even better with sunk in face)
Work Equip 01 (love the way they look on Z33's and look good on cars with 180 front end)
Work S1 3-piece
Nitekids' Panasports (that gold is Siiiiiiick)

And since I love Mesh:

Work VS-XX
Advan Sienna (sometimes looks weird but I still love em')
Those HRE mesh look pretty Good

01-05-2004, 05:15 PM
i already got the wheels of my dreams :D
Works ;) 18x10 et13 and 18x9 et18

if i can get another set of rims, probably Work VS-XX, SSR Agile Minerva, Wise Sports super Wade/Juvenile/Diana Spoke, BBS LM (Japan version), WRD, i can go on and on.....


im trying to find this particular widebody White Zenki S14 with 17" SSR Formula Mesh wheels...i saw a pic somewhere but couldnt find it, maybe someone can post it?? i think that looked pretty hot for old school rims on newer cars

as far HRE's/I-Forged....i cant stand teh way they look...they are too straight diamond cut...looks like someone used Playdoh cutout to make the rims...way too fucking expensive and too much of the "look at me" bling factor.....and as for it being a "Euro" thing, its far from it...more of american tuner wheels

Now to test my memory. The car is Dave from TougeFactory's brother's car. I forget what he hit, but atleast those wheels weren't on. I do believe they are 18x9 18x10, might be 8/9. The rears have 225/40/18s on em.

Next time I talk to Dave I'll get offsets for ya.

Ya most definately. The car is mainly just to advertise for tougefactory IIRC the brother isn't into cars that much.

This is from last summer so it might be different now, not sure, the main focus was on Daves car and customer cars.

Those are photoshopped on there right?, and thats why the don't look as good as they should? I would get some Sakura wheels. They probably wouldn't look right on a 240sx, but with Sakura wheels i would sell my 240sx and get a 240z. It would be so sweet.

This thread is awesome. Reminds me of the thread about "Which chick would you hit?"

:axe: So pointless. It's all opinion anyway. Henry and Aaron have obviously been completely brainwashed by Drift Tengoku and Option 2, whereas people like Mike have done their own homework and realize why HRE/Fikse/Kinesis wheels are the best/most expensive wheels on the market.

Why, you ask?

Because they are light, SUPER strong, fully rebuildable, and custom sized any way you want them.

17x10 with a +12 offset? No problem. 18x8 with a +48? No problem either. What? You need the disk drilled for 6-bolt hubs (for your Viper)? No sweat.

Go ahead and rock your overpriced, JayDeeEm shiz. They are laughing all the way to the bank...and I'll be picking up the phone for my custom Fikse's (at a relatively reasonable $600 a pop)

Well for my current setup, with 4 bolt, I would rock Panasport C8s, 16x9 all around, with about +17 offset, and some camber, rocking some fender rolloin.

Then If I were to get 5 bolt, id rock Demon Cambers, untill I had $ for some really nice wheels like

WORK VS-xx GOLD!! 18x9.5 In front and 18x10.5, all of that IIRC would have to be custom cuz their 3 peice, but mm mm

Soooooooooorry, Aaron.

I forgot you said that. I'm glad we agree. :p

Oh, and yes, TE37s are awesome. As are most anything from Volk. And those are worth the serious money. I just don't much care for super expensive super wide "dorifto" wheels. But that's cuz I don't care for drifting...and you do.

So, there we have it folks. Different opinions! Whoa!

Super wide expensive rims doesn't really have anything to do with drifting. They are just nice.

a friend of mine had a set of 19" HRE's on his Acura TL. They were beautiful in person, but not the look that I would prefer. He had the thin 5 spokes. His dad's rich.

spoiled brats are annoying :bash:

:axe: So pointless. It's all opinion anyway. Henry and Aaron have obviously been completely brainwashed by Drift Tengoku and Option 2, whereas people like Mike have done their own homework and realize why HRE/Fikse/Kinesis wheels are the best/most expensive wheels on the market.

Why, you ask?

Because they are light, SUPER strong, fully rebuildable, and custom sized any way you want them.

17x10 with a +12 offset? No problem. 18x8 with a +48? No problem either. What? You need the disk drilled for 6-bolt hubs (for your Viper)? No sweat.

Go ahead and rock your overpriced, JayDeeEm shiz. They are laughing all the way to the bank...and I'll be picking up the phone for my custom Fikse's (at a relatively reasonable $600 a pop)

Eric


I agree with you 100% Eric. I believe the HRE's or FIKSE's are a much higher quality wheel than the "JDM bling" wheels. But, companies like HRE and FIKSE do not make wheels that are appealing to everyone in terms of looks. I mean shit be honest, none of these guys are getting wheels for functionality, there listing there dream wheels. Personally I don't really care to spend much on wheels cause I scratch/bend/trash them on the track and off. If I had a dedicated track car, sure a set of FIKSE's would be in order, but my car is also my daily driver so I nee to be able to beat the shit out of cheap rims such as FNO1R-C'c or RPO1's and such. The only thing I care about wheels at this point is brake and coilover clearance and price, style is last.

Aaron, HRE's are not ugly. Again this is all subjective...

if everyone knew where HRE's facility is and what kind of people work there and assemble the wheels are gonna shit their pants...
it's the same facility that I-Forged uses and lots of other "wheel" companies....

the wheels construction that are produced arent that bad, but for the price u pay, it should be the best manufacturing plant out there....it's just a fucking name to appeal to the "high end" bling bling boring people that think HRE's are be all end all of wheels..

surprisingly there was a good article in one of the stupid US magazines like Import Racer or SCC (forgot which one) but it showed and explained the entire wheel making process at the RAYS foundry....... the technology and crazy quality control is far beyond HRE's facility

My friend Ken runs Show_UP Asahi and he is the designer and builder of Sexy Style kits. Here is a pic of his FD for refference:

http://www.encrypteddevelopment.com/grip/japangrippics/images/P1140058.jpg

I believe I introduced Ken to Aaron at SEMA? Didn't I? Oh well, he was hanging out with us at Signal's pit there for a demo. And I remember Aaron was around..but I can't remember..lol! He's in Sexy Knights which is a crew of him and his friends which several compete in D1. The FC (blue here..now it's the 787B green and orange/red scheme) and S13 (black in pics but now red) are brothers.
http://www.encrypteddevelopment.com/grip/japangrippics/images/P1140035.jpg
Aaron..I'll being hanging with them a few times while out there and I'll get more current pics. Nitekids I'll ask him if he'll reveil his specs..but don't be surprised if he wants them kept secret..haha! Here's a shot of the shop:

HISSSSSSSSSS!!!!!

Hahha j/k.

Since I introduced Henry to those wheels and have no intention of having them before him, I would also love to have them on my onevia. Either those or SSR Agel Minervas. 17x9 +10 F and 18x10.5 +11 R (iirc that is what the Sexy Knights guy runs as well.... just perfect i tell ya)


As for you Mike!!! tsk tsk. This footage better be superb (i dont doubt you) but still hit me up tonight if you aren't lovin' the girlfriend. I am back on Oahu till i leave for Cali on Sat.

Konig Monsoon 15 x 5.5 +64

oh shit, for the rear, 15 x 6 +60

haha, jp:o

I don't really like wheels with huge lips, stretched tires, or bling so I'd be happy with either red/black super advans, or some Kosei K1's in Anthracite which I don't even think they make any more. size would be 16 x 8. I' haven't seen those wheels since tnord posted pics of his car.

thelinja - I have those K1's (17x8) on my car (pictured in picture thread) and I like how simple, and clean that are.....just wish I had a lower offset.

my offset is +35 and I don't think these were available in any other offset....except +40.....I THINK. However Buddy Club P1s are available in more offsets....just not that color.
