can we mix offsets? I know its pretty miniscule in difference, but can we mix like 2 +20's and 2 +10's?

i need these in a bad way but i can't do anything till after christmas so hopefully i will still be able to get in on it then

do you have a pic of those wheels on a car? (any car, s14 preferably of course)... I am interested after finding out how cheap 16 inch tires are comapred to my 17s.... but it will depend on how much (if at all) I can get formy rims/tires. BTW they are 17x7 +35 silver FNs 4x114.3 w/ 215/45/17 Falken Ziex 512s.
The tires are pretty new since it is a weekend only car (for the most part)... email [email protected] Pictures uponr equest.

if you do a 5 lug i am in, if you can get like +10 offset 5 lug 16x8 wow i would definitely be in like i will pay you know 600 shipped for all 4 wheels 5x114.3 LOL do it!

eyustfu
12-14-2004, 07:28 PM
i'll be in for 16x8 +10 all around... can you get them in a different color? like bronze/black/gold/or fully polished?

also how long would it take to make if the 5 limit is reached?

may be interested if they come in diff colors or you get more pics away from car.

AutoRnD
12-15-2004, 10:24 AM
ok after 5 ppl have paid for 1 specific set then it will take approx i month to make.
no you cannot do the 2 wheels only..
also yes you can mix it up... but you would need to have to wait for all 10 to arrive.

SimpleS14
12-15-2004, 10:54 AM
not bad....I'll wait until you get your five buyers, then promote another buy for 5-lug users.

are these wheels new? i.e. why the bad pic of them?

and any other colors?

and what brand, where are they manufactured?

Drift101
12-15-2004, 12:50 PM
Okay, now i am really interested... how much if we come and pick them up?

AutoRnD
12-15-2004, 01:30 PM
ok only 1 color right now ie.. gunmetal
these wheels are currently only made for trucks but we are making them for car's ie w/ hub centric bores ...

these are rota grid's pretty much and because they are made for trucks have a great load rating.

also to pick up will be 600 after tax.

also if you want these for 4 lugs.. please pay now so that we can get this show on the road.

Drift101
12-15-2004, 01:33 PM

I am glad to see someone working with manufacturers to get cheap wheels in the correct offsets. It would be nice to see some more information about the company...

Any links to the truck wheel manufacturer's site? Or a better pic of the truck application?

As I said in the other thread, I am very interested in a set of 4 lug +20 wheels, but it will be a few months before I get my wheel budget together. Will this be a limited run, or will these still be around in the spring?

sorry sadly.. i have searched online as well as other places. Basically these are rota's but they don't publicize anything about them. And as for clearing Z brakes i am uncertain. but most likely it should with the spoke design. i will have to check..... Also if all goes well with this buy i might be able to stock them and just have them available forsale on a regular basis.

Ian
12-16-2004, 12:12 PM
wow that's awesome, i think you should invest in maybe a 9" wide design as well :)

so you said they are gunmetal, right? are the spokes gunmetel w/ a polished lip, or is the hole rim gunmetel?

that would be awesome. i hope this is the beginning of widely available cheap low offset wheels for 240 owners... in 4 and 5 lug.

i request a 16x9 +15/+25

Zemus
12-22-2004, 07:01 AM
Very good idea, finaly somone making knockoff wheels with Low near 0 offsets. I like the 16x8 +10s, nice offset for the size of wheel. If you keep some stocked you could make some good bank on that I would assume.

If you made a 17x9 +10 offset or +20 offset, in 4 bolt you would have everyone over them like hotcakes, that would be a good business choice :-D

AutoRnD
12-23-2004, 11:02 AM
with tax is. 650. yes we do take paypal
our paypal adress is [email protected]
right now we are only taking payment for 4 lug 16x8 in either +10 or +20

toki
12-23-2004, 07:10 PM
I know someone suggested this before, and I know it's personally a main thing im waiting to want to order these, but we need pics of the actuall wheels on an S-chassis. The angle of the spokes, how it just how it looks with the car is a big deal. People dont buy wheels on numbers alone.

ZK
12-24-2004, 01:12 AM
I think the reason there are no pics is because none have been made yet. You can kinda guess how they look from the pics.

$650 for a new set of 16 inch wheels in the right offset and size is a steal.

Now, I just need the 17s to come out. :)

Also include what offsets you are looking for.
Right now this will only be for 4 lug.

16x8 +10 4x114.3


Awsome deal man. I joined zilvia.net just for this groupbuy. Already gave you the mooola. Forgot to tell you the offset so i hope you got my email if not i want +10.

12-25-2004, 10:22 PM
anybody in with me to trade for offset sizes? for instance, you order 4 of the +2- and I order the +10, then we swap 2 wheels? so we can get 2 +10's and 2 +20's?? If so let me know, i'll try to have payment by friday latest (damn company merger screwing my paychecks up)

cdlong
12-26-2004, 01:40 PM
i'd be in for a set of +20s if knew if they cleared Z brakes or not. maybe someone could photoshop them onto an S13. as for fit, i'm sure they will fit just like any other 16x8 +20/10

when did anyone mention that other sizes were avaliable, if i was a moderator i would delete all the stupid posts asking for other sizes.

ok... sorry for the lack of replies here. its been busy... w/ jgtc / holidays and now new years.

As of right now.
No pictures on a 240sx..
hell it was hard just to find that picture of it on a different car.
if anyone is good w/ photoshop maybe you can take photohack it on a 240.
other than that i just cannot put it on a 240..

These should clear big brakes. especially looking at the spoke design.

Right now already paid
1 set of +20's
1 set of +10's

Also for peace of mind. We will have this groupbuy run till the end of january. After january we will be producing it so that anyone who has joined will get their wheels. then we will sell them for more than what this groupbuy is at right now

12-27-2004, 04:01 PM

we are looking into doing different colors but the wait time would be astronomical as they wouldnt be in wholes they would be more like 1 set htis month another set the next month and so on and so forth... i don't think that you would want that.

yeah they somewhat look like those except that the spokes are waaaaay concave and not some high offset pieces =)

Crab Spirits
01-03-2005, 02:09 PM
Just to help guage what they will look like....What size is shown in the picture?

tew photy
01-04-2005, 03:42 AM
15x6.5 +38....basically the stock sizing for s13 7 spoke alloys. if these are 16x8 with a lower offset, i imagine the spokes will be pretty concave, almost like the 10" face on the FN01R-Cs. correct me if im wrong..

AutoRnD
01-04-2005, 10:45 AM
correct.. these are similar in concaveness w/ the fn01rc. the overall design looks like some rota te's. there is no lip of course due to it being concave

Quark
01-04-2005, 12:11 PM
ok, it seems like most of us want a real picture of it. Josh, have you actually seen them? sounds like you have. Possible to take an actual picture of it? i would be interested in buying a set for my s13 if you had an actual picture of it.

also, shipping to Hawaii, can or no can?

thanks.

AutoRnD
01-04-2005, 03:44 PM
ok guys...
I tried to find some more pictures.
here is a picture of the color you would be getting.
Although it will be full gunmetal and NO polished lip.

why does the tire look so big? :P

AutoRnD
01-04-2005, 05:04 PM
cause it is a truck tire...
the rim right now is made only for trucks.. but we are making it for the 240.. hey it came with truck motors so why not put truck rims on there hahaha

anyhow. we are going to make them fit w/ the custom centerbore so that you do not need hub rings.. as well as proper offsets.

01-04-2005, 08:22 PM

the pics of the ones you posted...are they the ones we getting in this gb but with our 4 lug pattern? how about the center disk...is it going to be that huge? the center disk on those truck wheels are massive =) which makes the 16s look soo small and the spokes short...

AutoRnD
01-06-2005, 11:06 AM
aaaah!!!!!
anyhow... it will be 4 lug same style and the center disc is not that huge. it just looks that way. if you notice the center bore is not crazy also. the overall size is about the same ie.. 5x114.3

01-07-2005, 07:51 AM
i paypal'd money a couple days ago for some +10's, i assume you got it.

if you need more people i can be easily convinced to buy another set of +10's, but i'll only buy +20's if they're at a discount.

AutoRnD
01-07-2005, 10:58 AM
hahaha we always need more people. =)

why wouldnt you get the +20's

sultan
01-07-2005, 12:34 PM
i've been corrupted by drifters so +20 is too weak, even +10 is kinda weak for an 8. the +20 would be good for someone that wants not horribly sunken street wheels with minimal mods to the fender if any. i've already got good (to me) street wheels, 14x6 280zx, i just need more spares so i won't have to use the oem 7 spokes.

Question: How close to flush would these be in the +10? Anyone have pics of a similar wheel with same offset?

Let me check my funds, I might be down for a set.

AutoRnD
01-11-2005, 10:33 AM
both should be prettty flush! 10 might be out some but camber can bring it back in.

nissantuner22
01-11-2005, 11:36 AM
so for a stockish set up, the +20 would look more flush than +10?

I have 16x8 +25 and they are flush mabye even out a little at stock height

Drift101
01-11-2005, 03:47 PM
if any one is in with me we can swap a pair so that you have both offsets,
im ordering 4 +20 wheels, if anyone is willing to trade me 2 of their +10's for 2 of my +20's i'll be willing to do it. let me know

AutoRnD
01-11-2005, 10:43 PM
pics are posted throughout the forum.. mainly in first and third page i belive. these are not in production yet so i do not have them on a 240sx.

AutoRnD
01-12-2005, 05:32 PM
also... we need a few more ppl for both.. about 2 orders per each offset. come on guys.. Make this happen.
Also, this is not a good indication for the manufacturers.. to show that 240sx ppl want good sized low offset wheels.

Shin_Kudo
01-13-2005, 02:31 AM

toki
01-13-2005, 07:59 PM
I don't mean to be the pest and just keep revisiting this thread to criticise, but once again, I really think a main issue is that people don't know what these will actually look like. Tell your manufacturer this and that you would like 2 or 4 wheels cut. If you could even just one make in the offsets and swap them around on the front and rear of a car, I think it would go a long way in getting people to commit. I know if I liked what I saw, I personally would be in. It takes alot to get people to purchase a product that has never even been made or tested before.

SlowCoupe
01-13-2005, 10:53 PM
yep...it makes me more comfortable buying something i've seen before...i don;t wana buy some wheels that should look like these wheels or somewhat similar

AutoRnD
01-14-2005, 10:45 AM
that is the issue here. i do not have pictures... of the wheel.. i posted all the pictures that i had. If you want you can pay a little extra later down the line. for these. i will most likely sell them and stock them at 700-800 shipped

s0ldats
01-15-2005, 12:56 AM
if i'm not mistaken they're the same wheels as pictured except for a different hub bore, offset, and 4lug. correct? will it actually look different besides lug pattern and tires size?

w1ngzer0
01-15-2005, 09:46 AM
hey josh,

How is the offset on that truck version? how much lip you think these will have? :x:

like toki said. how about having the manufacturer make one wheel in each offset. that way you can mount them on your or someone elses 240 so everyone can see what they really look like. i bet if you did that you would double or triple the orders.

AutoRnD
01-16-2005, 04:34 PM
the only problem is.. the manufacturer.. basically doesnt even have any of these in 5 lug for a truck.... he says they are special order. and if i wanted them i'd wait a few months... and in those pics those are on a truck.. and that is pretty much the same way they will look like just different center bore and 4 lug.

toki
01-16-2005, 10:46 PM
Are you working with a middle man or something? It doesn't take a couple months to cut any wheels. If they have the facilities and they were serious about this, they could squeeze out 2 extra wheels....

AutoRnD
01-17-2005, 10:47 AM
ok.. here is the deal..
they can make the wheel in 1 month.
Now.. To them its all a numbers game.
and to be quite honest they dont care much about just 20-40 sets of wheel.
they do like crazy numbers.

that is why they probobally will not be able to just push one out cause it would cost them money for not making a lot of money

ok.. here is the deal..
they can make the wheel in 1 month.

im not suprised there are poeple who are waiting to jump in on this. your basically telling poeple to jump head first into a shallow pool, yea you provided pics, but those are some pretty weak pics, sorry to say. i mean its a 12 inch rim or watever on a big ass tire, thats PRETTY HARD to picture on a 240. your trying to sell a product w/o pics and telling us to use our imagination. i wouldnt wanna throw down 600 for an item and i saw in my head.

yea i understand the manufacture cant really do this because of cost. but i would think by having one wheel pushed out, the number of buys will increase by juss one wheel. the number of sales will eventually cover the cost of the wheel, hopefully

im not here to critizie your GB or down your product, im only speaking to let you know why most poeple probably wont jump on this, its a reason y im not jumping on it as of yet

I might be in for the 5 lug ones if you do a GB on them later. My friend wants to get the 4 lug ones bad, but has to sell his wheels first, so he may miss the GB. Anyways, if he gets them and they seem good, I'll probably jump in. 17s would be cool, but 16x8 +20 is an awesome size too.

Well, the bid is 570, plus 80 shipping, so I'm still interested if you do the 5 lug GB for $600. Its either these wheels or the 17x8 MB Motorsports 7 spokes, and with tires, they come out to within $30 of each other. Oddly, the wheel in the pics doesn't seem the same as the one on the truck...the color looks very different. The huge sidewall on the truck tire makes the wheel look kinda crappy too, but in the pictures they look hot.

Seems to me these would be a better deal than the GB.

Yea, decent option, but 17s have some advantages....lots more tire options being one of them, and looks. 16s are a forsaken size it seems-the honda/miata crowd produces tons of 15s, and the nissan crowd has lots of 17s. 16s are kinda in the middle. For example, try to find a 235/45/16 or somethign similar...nothing.

225/50/16 and 245/45/16 are decently common, but thats it. I'm just saying that generally, you can find more sizes of performance tires in 17s than in 16s.

quick question, would the 245/45/16 tire on these rims line up perfectly with the rim or would it kinda stick out a lil?

I ordered the 16 x 8 +10, and put 245 45 16's on them all the way around. Dunno what I was thinking. But to answer your question, a 245 45 16 flushes out with the wheel, the is no buldge and no strecth. I barely got these to clear the rear of mycar, took a little fender rolling and some camber. As far as the front, there is no way in hell that tire size will fit, I am gonna swap on some 225 50 16's on and see if the strech and camber will get me under the front fender. BTW this is on an 89' hatch with all stock body panels.

And I'll try and get some pics up later, these wheels look sick on the rear of my car, even though my car it self looks pretty crappy.

ok guys my pics are up in readers rides. my buddy took the pics sitting in his car while it was raining so there not that good but... tell me what you think about the 225/50 all around.those are just some used tires from work. i think im gonna go with 225/45. maybe a 215/45 or 50 in front. yokohama makes es100's in all those sizes. and i still have to roll the fenders and lower it more.
