very nice salty! Love the rims, very clean car too.

Hawd · 02-12-2004, 04:27 PM

I'm still having trouble with deciding between gunmetal and hyper black.

ootranceformeroo · 02-12-2004, 04:29 PM

looks nice...

mellojoe · 02-12-2004, 05:11 PM

looks gooood. So, where was this group buy? How do I miss everything?

Glad you 4-lug found some good looking wheels. Its about time.

Seriously, I'd probably pimp a set if they were in my budget and 5-lug.

ootranceformeroo · 02-12-2004, 05:18 PM

check out the group buy section...they have 5 lug and theyre cheap...

Touring240 · 02-12-2004, 05:48 PM

Need opinions, what color should I get the gunmetal or the hyperblack? I will be eventually painting my car a dark grey color to jump on the darker grey bandwagon. Right now im leaning towards the gunmetal because it's darker than the hyperblack. Right now my car is earl scheib shitty silver.

the240sxer95 · 02-12-2004, 06:49 PM

i love dark grays =[ but i have a dark silver =[

aznpoopy · 02-12-2004, 08:13 PM

usually i don't have much of an opinion on wheels threads but i gotta say they look nice on the s13s...

they look not stock but not flashy... functional but stylish. anyone have 'em on a s14 yet? i wanna see how that looks...

whateverjames · 02-12-2004, 08:31 PM

Damnit why didn't they make 16s in the hyper black color

Looks good Salty X.

Advan · 02-12-2004, 09:41 PM

damn, they do look pretty good. Dang. how come you didn't make the lights have a sleepy look on them? I don't know, I love that look for some reason. Dang I like how they look on the S13 too.

I like the look too, and even though I could get away with it now (sleepy eyes on a completely stock car = :ghey: IMO), the light output is... um... almost nonexistant. With the sealed beams you need all the light you can get.

I actually prefer the look of fully open headlights to sleepy eyes myself...

Advan · 02-12-2004, 10:50 PM

haha, well at night time yea. I don't know, maybe it's for the fact that Koguchi's IF, Green 240 he had, had the sleepy look on it. I think Chucnky Bai had them also.

matlock · 02-13-2004, 12:19 AM

Those wheels look really clean on your coupe Salty X....Nice pics.

93s13 · 02-13-2004, 12:56 AM

those wheels looks nice. im planning to jump in on the 2nd gb since i didnt have cash the first time but i was wondering if you guys can help me out. im not too good with offset but i am planning to get 17sx8.5 and 17x9.5 for my s13 coupe with fender flares and i would want the whole thing to look flush (wheel to fender) so what offset should i get (that would also clear my coilovers)

I think 9.5 width +30 might be flush with wider front fenders but I think 8.5 width +15 should be flush with stock fenders...? I think....

Edit: Oh yeah, I want to see pics on s14's along with specs...I know you guys have em...dont be lazy and just post them pics

8.5 +25 is flush with the stock fenders... 8.5 +15 sticks out 10mm more and 9.5 +30 sticks out 8mm more, so with more negative camber you could fit them under the fenders. The only problem is coilover clearance (with the 9.5s). There's no way a 9.5 +30 will clear coilovers (EDIT: to clear up any confusion, I should've said they won't clear coilovers in the front only), you'd need to run spacers. For the rear with fender flares, you'd have to go with 9.5 +30 with spacers...

I guess the real question is, if you want to run 8.5 F and 9.5 R, what's the point of the flares when they fit under the stock fenders?

So basically F 8.5 with 15+ will fit front flush with camber and will clear coilovers?

And Rear 9.5 with 30+ will clear coilover?

93s13 · 02-13-2004, 01:49 AM

i was planning to have 8.5f n 9.5r with the flares would it be wiser to just go 9.5 all around with +30 offset and what size of spacers would i need? the flares are the same ones jdmrice had on his car before he turned it into the strawberry face.

the240sxer95 · 02-13-2004, 01:57 AM

doesnt JDMRICE #2 use the same flairs as #!?

8.5 +25 will be flush as well if you want to run a more stockish camber (like between -1 and -2.5 degrees), 8.5 +15 will be a lot more negative camber... and they will clear coilovers. 9.5 +30 will also clear coilovers, you think I got a 1 finger gap in the rear and 0-1/2 finger gap in the front with AGXs and sportlines?

I think JDM Rice's flares are 30mm, so maybe a 20 or 25mm spacer depending on how much camber you want to run...

Salty_X · 02-13-2004, 02:36 AM

By the way thanks for all the compliments guys.

I love the wheels, and everybody I've shown them too seems to like them as well.

Maybe they'll help me get some hot chicks..

Not in the front with the majority of coilovers.

That's why I said in post #50 that they wouldn't clear coilovers in the front.

The question was in reference to 9.5 +30 clearing coilovers in the rear, as was my answer.

93s13 · 02-13-2004, 03:44 AM

so what would clear my coilovers in the front? so 9.5 +30 in the front wont clear coilovers?

uiuc240 · 02-13-2004, 08:05 AM
