fun with aircraft stripper.

[RBS14]

I've done everything I can think of to try and trick myself into thinking they are different wheels. Haha Here's my latest attempt.

[SilviaDriver]

[Dousan_PG]

finally took you long enough
glad you did
i did that with mine and liked it more
but they still are ugly wheels
fuck. i hate them.

[driftyour40]

What you need is some curb rash. Nothing says costom, like curb rash. J/P.
looks good.

[Ian]

why does everyone hate the FN01's? i love them...good size, basic 5 spoke...good enough for me!


but i have low wheel standards

I don't think people hate them. It's just you seem them tooo much, but I'm with you. I like them.

[RBS14]

looks like I owned myself. haha at least this is looks, not function. blah.

[rancid240]

Polish those bitches up for max bling

[Ian]

yeah, hit it w/ a orbital polisher for a while and they will be BLINGIN

[DocTaDrifT]

aircraft stripper does wonders for steelies

[SirWarrior]

Just wondering, but how wide are they???

[Dousan_PG]

9 inch wide

[RBS14]

9" but edge to edge is 10, that's why they look so wide.

I've got aluminum polish, guess I should buy a polishing head for my drill. so much work tho, I just want to get a layer of hand polish on them to seal them up and call it good. I've still got 2 more wheels to strip. ugh.

[Phlip]

FLITZ IT!!! With their included buff-ball shaft!!!

(forgive me, I sleep with the TV on and sometimes informercials are on all night)

[Jeff240sx]

I made a petition to admins to get the phrase "5zigen fn01r-c(s)" changed to "5zigen bandwagon(s)". But it never got enough steam to get going. We should have a mass-zilvia petition.

^^^^

I'm in. I just call them stock 240 wheels, cause everyone and their grandma with a 240 has them. But Aaron and I were some of the first to have black ones, so we're special. hahaha

PHLIP: to be honest, that's exactly what I was thinking. hahah it got into all of the hard to reach places on that ugly wheel in the commercial, so why not these? haha

[Shin_Kudo]

Hey, the FNs would be awesome wheels, if 5Z would just give us 4-luggers some good offsets.

[RBS14]

just go 5 lug already. it's especially easy with S14's. no excuses. I did it.

[Maeda]

I'll still trade anyone anyday of the week for some decent size FN01RC's..

=(

But thats me and I suck.

[brianglawson]

Anodize/anodize look them....

[drift into a curb]

I was going to polish mine, but I'm too lazy. Might not keep mine much longer. Looks cool that you did yours. Looks good.

[-E-]

Anodize/anodize look them....
I would like to see that

[MakotoS13]

bandwagon smandwagon. these wheels are pimp:

[nismo2491]

yeah they are. I'm getting the fno1r-c's for my street wheels. drag wheels will be weld draglites.

I don't want to switch to 5 lug because that would mean I can't put stock wheels and tires on and smash it in 4th at 60 mph and lose traction :(

i just call them "Fnorks". the black ones with the lip look pretty nice, though

what lip??

[blu808]

I love fn wheels. They look uhh ok. They are light, and they are sooo cheap. $150 a wheel for 17x9 thats soooo hard to beat.

I dont know about you guys, but when i drift with really expensive wheels it hinders my performance, because i am concerned about messing them up.

Hi Scott. :kiss:

[RBS14]

happy b-day dude!

[Pank]

what lip??
hah, even 3/4" of lip is still lip.

this is just making me sad that the junkyard BBS RS's are lost. :(

[blu808]

happy b-day dude!


Thanks. Scotty. :yum:

[RBS14]

did a little more work. still more to do. Here's a pic of one of them that I polished up a bit. Just by hand, super quick. This pic was taken at dusk, can't imagine how shiny they'll be in midday sun. nuts. I'm soooo stoked.

[Bryants95240sx]

im confused. i have FN's and one of them got a lil curb rash on them and it didnt seem to go to the bare metal.It was almose like a coating under the silver finsh. Is it just a primer or somthing( i havent looked really closely to tell exactly) they use b/c i painted my FN spokes black and left the lip silver and i want to see if i can polish it in some way .Sorry if it seems like a dumb question.

[RBS14]

yes, there is a layer of primer (gray) below the finish color on fn01rc's.

[s14kuma]

where can iget a fender roller for rent? :coolugh:

[RBS14]

dunno. only way you're gonna find out is to start looking/asking around. i.e. not online.

[MakotoS13]

where can iget a fender roller for rent? :coolugh:

WHat the hell is wrong with you? this thread is about HIS rims that look PIMP NOT your inability to buy or find a freaking fender roller.

end yourself NOW.

[sykikchimp]

I remember when Kosei K1's where the "stock 240sx wheel"

[Ian]

Blu808- where do you get 17x9's for 150 a wheel?

[RBS14]

unless you are a shop or have hookups you can't.

sykik: I barely remember that, that was when I first got my car. haha Funny how times change.
