View Full Version : 17" ADR Sokudo's..

I'm thinking about buying some 17 inch ADR Sokudo's for my 240. I was thinking about getting them in that bronze/gold-ish color. I have a meditterian blue 240SX. Pics are located at www.cardomain.com/id/the_blue_240sx

The pics to the Sokudo's are located at http://www.savastire.com/wheels_tires/17_specials_p1.htm they are the second wheels down from the top (for the slow people)..

I'm just scared to buy them because they are a weird color that you don't really see on many cars. I just want more opinions. Everyone else I've talked to said they'd look good. Any other comments?

Awww... are you joking around or being serious? What is wrong with them? I'm not going for price. I don't want to spend more then $1,000 on the wheel & tire package. I don't want/need the most expensive set or wheels out there. I just want some that would be good. I also looked at:

Konig Rhythm (silver)
Konig Blatant (silver)
Enkei RSF-2 (silver)
5Zigen MK-5 (silver)
5Zigen Inperio M-05 (silver)
Ace Manta (silver)

I had a much longer list.. but I narrowed it down.

Save up some more money, $1,000 isn't that much for wheels and tires.
The closest to your budget that fit the best would be 5Zigen FN01R-Cs 17x8 +35 all around, which you could probably get with some decent tires for around 1200 dollars +shipping. All the others are cookie-cutter wheels designed with hondas in mind.

before u buy them..learn bout Size/Width/OFFSET

after u learn bout them ull realize u wasted money or even wasted time thinking about buying those ADR

hez not joking around

17x7 +40? should be 17x9 +15 now those are nice

03-26-2004, 01:13 AM
you wont be happy. those sizes will look a little wierd on a 240sx. go WWWWIIIIDDDDEEEE. Even if you are just getting cheap wheel (which I dont recomend) still go wider then 7.5, you drive a 240sx not a civic. There is a lot of room to fill up in those wheel wells.

Jessi you should do what you like. I was -- that close to buying 16x7 rota wheels in a FWD offset (40) but due to some events I can afford better wheels (probably 16x7 gramlights +33 offset) now. I'd suggest if you can save and afford the gramlights or fn01rcs, do so. The better offset/quality is worth it IMO. But if you don't really want to spend $800+ on wheels then don't.

Don't listen to everyone here flaming about blah blah correct offset blah blah pizza cutter... sure nice rims are always a plus but if spending the extra $300-400 (or even more) for that minimal gain in performance (and better looks) isn't worth it to you then hey, I support whatever your decision is.

I have to say, I have found some of the most narrow minded ppl on this forum regardin the topic of wheels. If you want, you're better off taking that $400 saved and putting it towards somn else. you guys can flame me all you want, but that is my opinion, and I understand why some ppl are hesitant to spend close to a grand on just wheels for a minimal gain in return, but I also understand why you should save up and do it right the first time, but I DO NOT understand why everyone here likes to flame ppl taking the cheaper route.

I can't speak for the quality of ADR wheels, but wheels such as rota are well established cheap racing wheels. You can always photochop the wheels if you'd like and see how'd they look. Go to google and search for a wheel offset calculator, and see if those wheels will fit, and make your decision there.

+35 offset on an under 9" wheel on an s14 chassis? denied.

they make a staggered setup for us in 17x8 front 17x9 rear which i had on order until i wrecked D: it was gonna cost me under $1k so maybe you could look into that as an option? (i'm sorry, thats the fn01rc i'm speaking of)

I would like to say thanks to all those who actually voice their opinions respectfully and give help/suggestions, not just "dude those wheels will look sunken in as hell you'll regret this regret that blah blah pizza cutter blah."
I think you should look into Gramlgihts 57Cs and Fn01RCs (although everyone and their grandmother has them), you can get both for under $900 a set, it won't be llike losing an arm or a leg IF you mess them up.

I have some 17" Sokudo 8's on my S13 coupe and they look fine...dont down a rim cuz its not a brand name, they make them the same freakin way and with the and in most chase the same grade of metal so whats the differenc. For some people 1200 is a lot for rims. I got all 4 of mines for 250 off ebay and i just throw some cheap tires on them for auto-x...i say buy them, its what you want right??? so do the damn thing.

for $1k you can get used wheels, volks or work if you are lucky. why ever buy shit new? extra dough. but its your choice.
ADR is "frontwheel drive wheels". SO, it will have no benefit for you to get them. even aestethically (spelling ?), Sunken look is :ghey: unless you live in da hood. then you might as well put spinners on it and hydrolics. :barf:

What do you mean front wheel drive wheels? They are rims the companies make them the same way...with the metal of equal or same quality. Nothing sets them part besides the name on them...the amount of force can be applied to the rim are all the same no mater the company. They always make rims so that can with stand the shear stress that is applied from the ground and the axcel. Dont get rims just cuz of the name or because you saw it in a drifting video...that would make you a poser

This isnt my 240, i have a coupe

What do you mean front wheel drive wheels?

Offset, width, it's all in there... Most knock off companies cater to specifically FWD cars, thus when somebody puts on say a Tenzo r wheel, there is that really unattractive sunken look. To the untrained eye it looks nice (only wheel design matters right?), but to enthusiasts and/or posers it just doesn't look right.

I'm not familiar with ADR, but have heard of them.

did your mom drop you on your head when you were a kid? +40 offset of most ADR wheels is for a "front wheel drive car".

i spaced it out so you can maybe comprehend it better, why dont you get heavy ass +40offset rims for dat sunken look and we all laugh and point fingers at you.

you dont need to drive 240sx, your not a retard enough, but i think you are fit to drive a short bus. :fawk:

03-26-2004, 02:07 PM

see this is exactly why I have lost much respect for the helpful ppl on this forum. Comments like this don't really help you decide what to do, offer your opinion, don't force it on someone.

Oh yea, last time I checked, stock wheels came in +40 offset, so yea I guess nissan is must trying to make the 240 an integra.

so I guess if the 17x7.5 sokudos were pizza cutters then 5zigen REALLY dropped the ball on the 17x7 FN01RCs...

And ppl need to get it in their heads that the offset difference isn't going to make/break a car in terms of performance, let it go if someone is unwilling to spend the extra $400, don't be a jackass.

there not talking about stress or quality, and their not talking about getting wheels from an option video either, they are talking about something that you obviously dont know jack about. If you put a wheel on a RWD car that has a high offset like 40, 42, 45 etc..it will be sunken into the fenders, those offsets are made for FWD, so unless you are retarded you should understand why they say dont put FWD on RWD, because a RWD requires low offset while fornt requires high.....now stop bashing people when your statement is utterly useless and you have nothing well-thought-out or better yet when you dont know what you are talking about... :hammer: :hammer:

the problem is,
high offset+skinny wheels+sunken look+super skinny tire profile tire+not low=totally asinine

the solution is,
wide wheels, mid-low offset, low stance=totally brilliant

Did you not see what i said? I said they only difference is the name on the rims...i was saying that knock offs are the same structurally or near the same as the real things. So what your paying extra most of the time is the name. Like yudalicious said it is the same off set as the stock rims...you know what, forget it. no use in trying to change anyones mind...but i just have to say this one thing and i'm talking about pricing here, when you buy a name brand product and then buy a knock off they are almost if not the same right? now apply that to rims...and you'll see that sometimes your just paying extra for the name on the rim and not the rim its self.

NOPE.
the price you are paying for ADR's are that they dont have a wide range of selections in sizes and cheaply made wheels....as opposed to something like Works, SSR's, Volks, Advans you get LOTS and LOTS of size selection (widths, offsets, color, bolt pattern), sometimes even lets you DO YOUR OWN CUSTOM SIZING, durability/strenght, excellent forging/casting process, and yes, we do pay a lil bit for name....
if i was shelling out money, why would i waste my time with wheels that have the SAME offset/width as stock? my track width isnt being improved, so why bother? someone's not doing their homework....

oh boy oh boy i wish Works would be at a cheap price, but i would only be limited to 18x7.5 +42et :zzz:

riight, going from 15x6 +40 to 17x7.5 +40 isn't an upgrade in width...
speaking from a totally performance stand point, the advantages you get w/ lower offsets and wider wheels (up to a point) is minimal COMPARED to what you can do with the $ you saved. (I will not get into looks because I myself am saving up for gramlights in the right offset but I totaly understand why some ppl aren't willing)

IE: spend $500 a set on rotas vs. spend $1000 on a set of volks... some ppl would rather spend that $500 saved to a set of nice shocks or cams or ECU or whatever, which would make more difference performance wise than the $1000 rims.

No one is asking to sell your Volks or Advans and get rotas, so when they ask for your opinoin, can't you just voice your opinion (strongly if you want), without being an unhelpful jackass.

true you can save $500 from buying a set of Rotas than buying Volks...
buuuuuuuut, i'd rather spend the extra $500 for Volks because of LOTS MORE SIZE SELECTION, quality made wheels....and about 5,000 more sizes than Rota's size selections....

Of course the advantages are Minimal from going 15x6 +40 to 17x7.5+40......
the wheel hub mounting surface of the wheel is sitting in the SAME PLACE AS STOCK, buuut you gain what, a measely .75" track width each way? MINIMAL

15x6 +40 ====> 17x9 +10, wheel is offsetted 30mm closer to fender AND gains 2" track width each way... Price difference justifies wider wheel/offset selection

more wheel size selections>the World

03-26-2004, 05:58 PM
let's not forget that using those wheels (ADR) you forfeit the chance of ever being able to own a set of nice coilovers. Unless you get a 30mm bolt on spacer, which in turn is more weight. I don't know why people don't understand... Do it once, do it right, do it wrong, do it twice, pay the price

I think you missed the point I was trying to make.. I didn't say that they would meet our standards or flushness (believe me, I completely agree with what you said), but taking her budget into consideration, and the fact that her car is 4-lug, those are some of the widest, least-expensive wheels you can get brand new. That's all.

Oh really? Since when did this sport become "low buck = performance" last I checked, that doesnt always work. There is a balance, certain things are worth the money and others are not. How do you differentiate? YOU USE YOUR MIND, TIME, and RESEARCH.

When you put money aside and look at the part in question for what it IS, rather than how much it COSTS -- you start to see its value. So regardless of what people write on here.. the truth of the matter is you have to make your own decisions. If you just go by what people say, it will show because your car will show it. Its amazing how the nicest cars I've ever seen are owned by people who put fourth the hard work, time, money, and unending committment to pursue their love and passion for the sport (not for the trend OR for others).


IE: spend $500 a set on rotas vs. spend $1000 on a set of volks... some ppl would rather spend that $500 saved to a set of nice shocks or cams or ECU or whatever, which would make more difference performance wise than the $1000 rims.

How do you know? How do you know that the Rota wheels are good quality and durable enough to be BETTER than the Volks? I am not taking sides, I am simply asking. Above you write how all rims can withstand the same amount of abuse, I think thats BS.. I know plenty of people who've bought cheap rims and in the long run, have had nothing more than bent wheels. I myself have had knockoff wheels in the past, they didnt bend.. but they were heavier than shit. What about unsprung weight? Doesnt that make a difference when it comes to performance? I think so, my shocks felt blown when I ran 21lb 16x7.5" knockoffs.

Then, I eventually bought a set of 16x8 +50 wheels.. are they from a FWD car? To answer the question, no they arent.. they are off of the FD RX7. While yes, typically FWD cars have higher offsets.. cars like the Mazda RX7 come stock with these wide wheels AND have plenty of room in the fenders for even wider rims -- hence the reason why the RX7 is such a kickass car. So, it really comes down to whether or not you know your shit. I didnt buy the FD wheels because they were +50, I bought them because they were 16x8, inexpensive, easy to attain, and 14-15lbs EACH. Unsprung weight is where its at.


No one is asking to sell your Volks or Advans and get rotas, so when they ask for your opinoin, can't you just voice your opinion (strongly if you want), without being an unhelpful jackass.

This is a forum, its a place where people speak their minds and if you are lucky enough and carefree enough -- you make friends. Some people are nice and will give out advice, some people are mean and will give out advice.. the bottom line is, this isnt Burger King where you "have it your way" -- you post and just be courteous.. if people are snappy, deal with it.. but dont get all pissy when some people are just rough around the edges.. its probably because we've been down your route before and now after all these years, headache, trial, error, and money.. are where we are. Most people when they are young cant afford the good shit, fine.. thats great. But thats not to say that there isnt a big difference with the expensive shit, because thats not true. You DO get what you PAY for. If you think performance comes cheap, you had better get your head examined.

And by the way, I'm a girl. Not a guy. Please don't get that all mixed up. I really do appreciate everyones opinions. I'm still going to be looking at different wheels. Thanks to everyone that gave me some suggestions on other wheels!

you completely missed my point:

I myself am saving up for gramlights in the right offset, I just did not like how SO MANY ppl flame the poster without giving sound advice. give your opinion and let it be, no need to say somn stupid that doesn't help and end up looking like a jackass. Say somn helpful like:

the guy who gave links to used wheels on ebay
suggestions for wheels that aren't back breaking expensive

NOT

take your pizza cutter wheels and go get a honda

firstt of all, it wasn't me that said all rims had the same durability, it was someone else.


If you had actually READ my posts, you would've read that I even suggested FN01RCs and gramlights. I am not making it a FWD offset vs. RWD offset war, just voicing my only problem with so many ppl just blindly flaming without being any help. And this isn't not the FIRST (and all of you guys know it) poster getting flamed because he considered buying fwd offset wheels.

It depends why you are buying the wheels.

If you are buying for looks, then you have to ask yourself who are you trying to look good to.

If you are trying to look good to yourself, buy what you want.

If you are trying to look good to other people on this board, and similar entusiasts, dont get honda offset wheels.

If you are trying to look good to the general population, nobody cares much about +40 offset or whatever.

If you are buying for performance and the rest of your car is relatively stock 7.5 inch width is fine. But if you plan to upgrade the rest of your car and make a lot of power then maybe you should wait and do wheels last.

Upgrading to some cheap rims isnt always bad. It will give you the option to run some better wider tires. 15mm of track is not something you will notice. Weight is a little more important so I would look into that, and see if there are some lighter alternatives that cost about the same.

Lets face it, the 4 lug 240sx is one of the crappiest cars in the world to shop for wheels for. We dont have a huge selection of aftermarket wheels cheaply available. We dont have good used OEM upgrades. This means you are going to really have to think about how upgrading wheels fits in to your whole plan for upgrading the car. There is no right answer that applies to everyone.

oh but we do. z32 fi models 8" wide? maybe need spacers to run coilovers but who knows. the whole beauty of owning a 240sx is that (if you don't care what you're wheels look like) you can fit domestic wheeeeeeeeelssss. cobra rims? yes please. mustang gt rims? yes please. v6 stang wheels 15x7 +24 offset (easy for me to break loose being bone stock ka) ummmm yes please! our options are good if you're not too picky.

...that and the fact that you can almost immediately tell if a 240 owner knows what he/she is doing, or jumping the bandwagon, trying to "look like a drift car". Wheel offset is a good clue. ;)

yes.... I have to admit... the right offset = WAY better looks. That's why I'm saving for some gramlights (hopefully) in +33... or I'll have to settle for FN01RCs like every1 and their grandmothers.... jk
Glad to see ppl taking my ranting w/ good humor ;]

I HAVE those wheels on my car right now in gunmetal and they look pretty good. Everyone compliments them. UNFORTUNATELY, I'm personally unhappy with them because I purchased them two years ago before I really knew much about the car. The offset is bad on ADR wheels and the wheels do tend to look a bit 'sunken' in in the back of the car. Nothing a wheel spacer can't fix. So if you're looking for feedback from someone who actually HAS the wheels on the car and knows what they're talking about, take it from me, save your money, buy the right wheels the first time or don't buy them at all. The ADR wheels have some cool designs/layouts which is okay if that's all you're going for, but they also have terrible offsets and weigh a lot. Just my two cents...hope that helps.

Well, I dont know about anyone else, but if it was my 240, I would forget about wheels, sell the body kit and put that money into some minor engine mods and some suspention. But then again, I go for whats better for performance, not looks. And you dont have the performance yet to need wider wheels.
