I finally got them. After a month and a half of being on back order they came and they were on the next day. Anyways, they are 5zigen FN01R-C's hyperblack style for the uninitiated. 17x7 +35 up front and 17x8 +35 in back. Weaksauce sizes but I'm poor and can't afford a 5 lug conversion. The rubbers are Yokohama AVS ES100s, 215/45/17 and 225/45/17. They're bolted on with Kyokugen lug nuts. And sooner or later I'll get around to getting some spacers for the back cuz they're a tad sunken in. But criticisms are welcome as long as they aren't saying how everybody has FN01R-C's. My car is the only car I've ever seen with them on in this area, and for the price you can't beat the quality, so back up off. Anyways, enjoy the pics.

Here are a couple pics after playing around with the Kodak Easy Share program.

And a not very good pic of the interior with the tweed ripped off the door panels and the glove box wrapped in vinyl.

Personally, I don't think the pictures do the finish on the wheels justice. Hyperblack is a crazy color. Not quite gunmetal, not quite chrome, and not quite silver...tell me what you think.

2 notes: weld-on muffler HAS to go, as well as DIY mudflaps.

now that you got those, you need some bigger brakes to cover up that aweful wheel well :boink:

Thanks for the compliments. And yeah I know the muffler is pretty sick. Sick as in not cool. I bought that in my confused ebay days. No more of those. But it'll tide me over til I can afford a cat-back, which sadly wont be for awhile since I got school to pay for now. Besides, it sounds and looks better than stock which isn't saying much, but it only set me back $50. Whatever. And the focus is a friend's car. There was nothing I could do to stop him. And mrmeph., the "DIY" mudflaps came with the car. Looks better with them than without for some reason. Those will be on there too until I can afford to buy some coilovers. What's a poor boy to do?

5zigen fno1rc's are bomb especially the hyper black

mud flaps are not bomb

focus is unbomb as well .... next time stop him for the love of god and stop those mudflaps

otherwise nice choice on the wheels and yes the offset is high get spacers i guess

i've been fairly set on getting those in bronze for my 14 but now that's really making me consider the hyperblack even more, but i'll eventually figure it out and get something :).

Right now I only have Espelir ASD springs in. Nothing else. But it's a work in progress. By this spring I'm gonna try and have coilovers (SPL style if they ever come out for the s13) and adjustable rear upper mounts. But we'll see if that happens, I'm poor now, damn educations are expensive.

SPL style if they ever come out for the s13.

www.splparts.com (http://www.splparts.com/) They have them listed on their site. Aren't they available yet? :mepoke:

Oh man, that makes me happy. I checked the site like a week or two ago and the coilovers weren't listed for the s13. Now all I have to do is come up with the money. I am accepting donations btw.

Glad I could help. I also wanna a set, but I have to get my engine running first. If you get them, let me know what you think of them,
