has to be Rotas

[drift freaq]

has to be Rotas
Look at the pic carefully,:duh: It says Ronal right at the bottom on the little holder for the wheel. Don't ask me why Ronal ever decided to make a care bear wheel. :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

[byhi]

i agree that bee R wheels are somewhat rare in sayign that not alot of people have them, but everyone and "dey motha" knows about them,,,, and wants them... and jocks them.... but in reality its just a 325 dollar wheel... its quite comical to see people say "omg i wish i could get a set of BEE-Rs!!!!" when they are like 1300 a set plus shipping.. and i mean, there a re quite a few kids on here that live in japan, im sure if you compensated for their troubles it wouldnt be hard to get a set at all... my roomate and i import wheels as well, so waive some money in my face and i'll getcha whatever you desire

[VROOOM]

what about these, you could have a picture of your 240 on your wheels

[ThatGuy]

^PimpStars! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Somebody put a lift kit on a 240sx and strap on some 24" PimpStar's, and I'll volunteer to beat you face in with baseball bat wrapped in broken glass and rusty nails. :D Have a nice day!

[FaLKoN240]

Sakura Mesh.

In 17x9 +0 and 17x9-6 THAT would be sick.

Cherry Blossom PINK of course.

[VROOOM]

i always wanted a set of Racing Sparco NT's they are pretty rare and hard to find now but back in the day they were bad ass.

but they dont fit under my car:duh:

[ThatGuy]

How do Work Equips not fit under your car? They fit everyone else's 240 that have them. Including mine once my 5-lug swap is done.

[VROOOM]

well now Work only makes 19 inch equips, to find smaller size you have to buy used

[ThatGuy]

OK, you can still squeeze 19's under a 240, it's just nobody on ZIlvia is dumb enough to run wheels that big. Used 18" Equips are easy to find if you know where to look. I love mine. :D 18x9 and 18x10 of pure sex. :rawk:

I would ACTUALLY like a set of those in 17"s alot more. So much so I just ordered a set new ;) Havent decided on the finish yet, I do have freinds in JP but I dont think it's worth getting them involved. :D Just figured Sarge would have a hook up stateside, I would not give them up either. And am definitly not looking to kill anyone, let alone a fellow military memeber. :o And just so I'm on topic : http://rbmotoring.com/albums/album306/aaa.jpg << I would kill for these ;)

Sarge? I had a dog named sarge! :keke:

Yeah, my extended family in Japan-Land took good care of me in finding me my Equips! :bow:

thoes are koenig WRVs

the company is koenig special

here is the webpage http://www.koenig-specials.com/

that jspec whatever article with the retarded ass s13 with bomex and rivet on flares can go kill itself for spreading wrong information

they are german wheels, not japanese

if anything they would be made by bbs or ronal or borbet or somthing like that. not ssr

[HyperTek]

Advan SA3R always been one of my favorites for the s13..

http://www.shinestreet.com/products/aerokits/cwest/180sx2.jpg

Some of those mesh wheels posted above, are just a little too period old for our chassis, they belong on much older cars like s30 etc..

[S-REVV1]

have you ever looked at the j-line wheels,I think the web site is www.jlinewheels.com or ame wheels. Good luck.:wavey:

Actually those are Volk LE37T, TEs dont come in polished lip or that finish. These wheels are being discontinued also.

How do Work Equips not fit under your car? They fit everyone else's 240 that have them. Including mine once my 5-lug swap is done.

Do they fit on Z32 front brakes, i heard they rub on the spokes.

[ThatGuy]

Not that I have heard. I have yet to mount mine, due to lack of parts. But I'm not worried about my Z brakes.

\/Thanks chmercer for the clarification.\/

[chmercer]

depends on the disk, similar to every wheel ever made.

I'm personally a fan of Double Six's. You don't see'em often. There's a guy down in Chi that has a set on an S14 and they look raw.

[nonissan]

besides rb, yahoo.jp, who's got a great selection? panda and the others i've seen either have no selection and/or no listed prices.....

[byhi]

memory fab gets good wheels....

also, to the guy who posted that 14 inch 4 lug (looks to be about 15-20 inches wide) wheel, that has been widened, it didnt come that way

EDIT - my wheels are rare... schmidt VN line 3 piece... 18x10, 18x8.5....

and my roomates wheels are rare... Fabulous expands, and fabulous profounds

[hotrodv]

Up Garage (http://www.upgarage.com/upgarage/stock/stock.php?search=1&gyotai_cd=001&web_bunrui=01_20_01_01)
Lots of wheels. Good prices. Shipping is rough. Best bet is to have friends in Japan who can purchase and ship them for you.

Example: 18x11 +4 and 18x12 +9 for $1,140

Like I said, just gotta look. I searched for quite a while before I got the wheels I wanted. I missed out on some really nice Nismo's, and two other set's of Equips before I finally locked down my set. :bow:

[yokotas13]

there is a set of white nismos at the one here lol

Told me where I can find a set of equip in 18x9 18x10 0 offset or less all around..It's lot of time that I look for those beauty!!:duh:
i can get you a set in less than 0 offsets right now, but its a little bit of bank, PM me if your interested

[hotrodv]

Those koenigs are the shit, I always looking for koenig,equips and veilside andrew racing when I go on upgarage and yahoo, unfortunately the size that there's at up garage and on yahoo are too big to have them fit under my s14, I have to drift it and also stay at thos stupid italian law that allow me to use maximum of 225/40/18 wheels..maybe I can find the way to fit 235 on rear but not more with 280hp..
I heard people talkin about weight of the wheels, like they can fell the difference of 0.5 kg when they drive.. :D

Do you think these would fit well on a 350Z? A friend of mine just got one and he wants to get some crazy ass wheels for it. I have NO idea what Z's can accomidate wheel wise.

[chmercer]

350zs seriously need like 19s or 20s to look right, the fender wells are so freaking huge

and a 350z couldnt fit thoes offsets anyway without some fender work ie barfbag veilside flares

Ive sent 4 17x9s and it costs around $480 to pack/send. Military is ridicuolously cheap, probably sub $100

That's my price for around 4 sets (thats 16 wheels).

Not bad for non-military.

Ive sent 4 17x9s and it costs around $480 to pack/send. Military is ridicuolously cheap, probably sub $100

fro ma military friend was between 130 and 170 a set depending on size/weight

[harlockssx]

fro ma military friend was between 130 and 170 a set depending on size/weight

Cheaper shipping is slow as hell from here though! I just sent out my old turbo setup with turbo, manifold, outlet pipe, hotpipe/bov, intake piping, solid motor mounts, tuned ECU & 850 cc injectors from here to the US via USPS through the base & it cost me $142 just for the shipping & insurance! This is for 50lbs. Military shipping is only cheap as hell when it's overseas base to overseas base (free) but can be very slow & no insurance is available for that type (MPS). Otherwise it costs roughly the same as anywhere else in the US via USPS, except our rates are based on San Francisco, where all the mail is routed through.

[byhi]

well with ym experience, my guy is based out of north carolina... so his rates come from his fpo... and stuff takes about 3-4 weeks ot get here

Your ignorance is astounding.

ok dude, im ignorant. i guess you must be a fucking genious to prattle off a bunch of completly innacurate random wheel weights from like wheelweights.net for wheels you have never nor will ever own. hey if you ever see a te37 mag, put it on a bathroom scale. heyyyyy it dosent weigh like 12 pounds or whatever the internet told you. you didnt even post the offsets. oh yeah what offset makes a difference in wheel weight? google didnt tell you that hmmmm.

go stare at your pignose s13 and dream about how if your wheels were 2 pounds lighter then you wouldnt get clowned on by bone stock c4s at a road course.

lol at randomly throwing Work Emotions on that list.

Emotions are heavy bro-ham, nobody cares because 2lbs in wheel weight doesn't matter when you're on Tien/KTS/Stance/Megan/flavor of the week 1000$ chinese coilovers.

furthermore, lol at throwing around highschool physics like nobody else knows it and that having Buddy Clubs make you hardcore.

Pro Tip: the fastest car on this board is on FN01RCs (Driftstyre)... my grandma could melt toy soldiers into a wheel lighter than the FN, proving that wheel weight is just for losers looking to jerk themselfs off with highschool diploma.

well i have 3 sets of wheels of wheels that cost 800+ per piece, does that make me sweet? but so do you (vskf's)....and... i will agree with you, wheel weight is not all that important, especially when you are at 300+ hp, as i am,


so fuck a pound, fuck 5 pounds, nothing compares to nice set of wheels sans weight issues, there are a few exceptions (TE, SE, and starform) that are lightweight and look good... but ideally i'd like to think that the part that people always slack on (wheels) should be considered more in effort to "finish off" a car instead of worrying about something they could cure by removing the spare tire to make up for the 8 lbs they added to their setup.... yes true, rotating mass "gains weight" as it rotates but then i'd say, do some fuckign situps and lose some lbs....

[OptionZero]

to go back to ka24dessonethree's point, I don't think he was so much saying that 1 lb of weight should be reason to buy one wheel over another, but rather commenting generally on the focus here on zilvia over wheel sizing

certainly, there are some people who do need to step up from 17x7 +40 crap, but on the other hand, many do not realize that an 18x13 or the like is impractical in most cases. They serve a purpose to look aggressive and fill the wells of big big aero. They are not what you'd run on the track, at least not 99% of s-chassis.

KADEesseonethree actually does track his car, unlike the vast majority of people here, and he tracks his car to go fast, unlike the even bigger majority of people here (who aren't going fast, just going sideways). With his goals in mind, a light strong wheel just wide enough to fit his tires is what he should get; if he ran 17x10 all around w/ 215's on his grip car, you'd laugh at him too, as would I.

Oh, and to the guy that is purportedly the "Fastest" here according to chmercer...i'm sure everyone would agree that he is fast *despite* running FN's, not *Because* of them. Correlation is not causation- you think he wouldn't post lower track times (a little lower, or much lower,...either way) if he ran a wheel 5 lbs lighter per corner?

Lighter wheels are a benefit in every way unless strength is compromised; the only question is whether you're willing to pay the price in looks and money. That is a personal question dictated by goals and circumstance, and I doubt you or I know enough about KADEessonethree to bash him.

If anyone would like to prove a point, go to a track and race him. When the person wins, come back and talk shit about his decisions. Fair?

[KA24DESOneThree]

OptionZero, the mere fact that you were willing to devote that much time into a well-thought-out post in my defense is awesome. Much thanks.

The weights I posted may not be dead-on, but they help show that there are light, good-looking wheels out there. Yes, they're from wheelweights.net and yes, the offsets are not listed on that site. Yes, I realize there is a difference in weight from 17x9 +0 to 17x9 +40.

I run 17x9s. I don't run 17x9.5s or 17x10s because, although they would look hot, there is no justification. 9s are perfectly wide enough for the 245/40s I like and even give me room to run 255/40 if I ever decide to spend money on power rather than making the car handle better. I ran 17x9 FNs because they were available in 4-lug in a good offset for a good price and are decently light. Now, I am against compromise and will be 5-lug by the end of next week, so I'm ordering a set of CE28Ns to replace my temporary 17x9 +15 TE37s paired with 17x9 +17 MB Weapons until I get the CE28Ns. The CE28Ns are the lightest wheels I know of and are damn sexy. They're also rare on S13s and that rarity makes them a little cooler in my eyes.

I only wish I had a warehouse full of wheels and a properly calibrated scale. I don't like that most companies just spout rhetoric about their wheels' weights rather than fact.

There is ignorance afoot that downplays the effect of unsprung weight, not to mention the effect of a very much widened track on roll center. Unsprung weight not only slows the car down in terms of acceleration, but it has a detrimental effect on deceleration, suspension action and turn-in as well. Lower unsprung weight results in a suspension that does its job much better. Really, if one wants to debate the effects of unsprung weight all one has to do is look to the motorcycle world.

[OptionZero]

Ok, I'm confused, how does offset affect weight? I'm assuming most companies only change the mounting area just a bit, and that weight is close to the center; combined, the two factors mean weight is only minutely affected by offset.

When you're going from face-1 to face-2 and such I can see differences also if they need to add material to maintain the rigidity.

Compared to an extra .5 inch of width or an inch of diameter, shouldn't a few MM of offset be the least of worries?

chmcercer, i disagree with your taste quite often, but you seem to have rather encyclopedic raw knowledge of certain topics. Actual question: what's your motorsport background? Are you a part-time enthusiast like most of the people here, do you have engineering/industry ties?

[NI_YON_Zenki]

I truely beleive that any wheel that is purchased, whether it be a longchamp, SSR, Original Volk, Advan or HRE, OZ, or Enkei wheel.

Must continue its rarity under a negative offset.
The level of understanding and structural development put into holding this type of wheel to the ground is complex. adjusting body paneling to the width of he wheel; typically 10, 9, and at some extent 8's, as you can see, the more wider the wheel, the more rare it is to find another exactly like it. it happends. yes.

take a wheel like a kosei k1 or an FN or some such, 17x9 +40 or somthing will weigh less than a 17x9 +15 because with a lot of budget minded 1 piece wheels they do not re design the face for every offset, they usually make 2 faces and adjust the offset via the backpad thickness. so the +40 wheel will have a thin backpad and the +15, that has the same face as the 9j +40, they will just add material to the back pad to push it out. somtimes this accounts for 2+ pounds since with a really thick backpad its not very well supported by the spokes, so it has to be pretty heavy duty. in a similar way a low disk wheel will weigh less than a high disk wheel.

changing wheel width on a multipiece wheel adds almost no weight. if you have ever dissasembled a multipiece wheel you will see that the barrels weigh like maybe 20 percent of the total weight of the wheel. most of it is in the face. the actual rim shell is pretty thin forged aluminum, so adding an inch or 2 to the wheel width maybe would add .5-1 pound. you will pick up a substantial amount of weight going from say 18 to 19 however. more like 5ish pounds.

my background is 20 year old college student who works on his car in his parents driveway on the weekends and sits on the internet too much

ps you seem to be mixing up myself and russells posts maybe?

my beef with all the low weight wheels and wanting the best performance crap on a 240 is that nobody on here has a good budget, but it seems that nobody is willing to buy the most "bang for your buck" parts, everybody wants the best crap. so you end up with stock sr20 s13 hatch with a gold plated nardi steering wheel and an arc intercooler, instead of spreading the money around more evenly. sure an 18x12 isnt going to be the best size for a 240 but i only buy used parts and a 275 tire is going to stick more than a 225 tire in practically every cirumstance. sure my car would probably be faster if i had some 2000 dollar wheels with a048s, but then i wouldnt have any money for a turbo, swaybars, yadda yadda.

[McRussellPants]

Im gonna take the weight argument to a whole new level of "look at me, I passed highschool phys."

Lower offset one peice wheels are better because despite the added weight of the pad the weight is in the center, resulting in a better moment of inertia.

Conclusion... put +50 spacers on your 15x6s and you'll set bonneville records like whoa. FUCK YEAH.

My beef with the light wheel argument is the people are so overzealous 90% of the time. "OMG, I need less unsprung mass! time for some 3K wheels, and the softest sidewall tire I can afford because I don't need the extra weight of reinf sidewall". whoops, can't afford Z32 uprights and theres no way Im cutting my dust shields off. And they'll always be on some notoriously crappy valved coilovers like Megan or K-Sport, if not spring and shocks.

[KA24DESOneThree]

You two are generalizing. Some of the people are overzealous 90% of the time. Some, i.e. me, Option Zero and some others on the boards, are in search of two things: higher cornering speeds and world-class braking. I never skimp on tires and my big brakes weigh no more than stock despite prodigious increases in rigidity, clamping force, and heat dissipation capability. I have no dust shields, and I ignored the Z32 uprights I've had sitting in my garage for 18 months because of compatibility issues with my next coilovers. I'm running on admittedly crappy KTS coilovers because, yes, I have a budget and am slowly saving for DA coilovers. However, lighter unsprung weight will actually maximize the performance of the simply mediocre KTS'. I had to say all this because I hate being called a poseur.

byhi, I'm not even sure if you're from this planet. You seem to be from a planet where everyone is holier-than-thou and talks out of his ass. No one cares if you can spin your big-boy wheels. People do care if you can outbrake and outcorner them. Your Colossal-momentum (tm) Big-Boy Wheels add precious feet to your stopping distance. Guess who's going to have the last laugh when you're yanking your bumper support out of the rear of a Silverado? Do you have bling or a big clock around your neck?

Personally, I think the Volk GT-U is a very good-looking wheel and I've only seen them on a couple S-chassis. CCW also makes some great-looking wheels, and the price tag makes them rare.

Alright, meph asked this thread to get back on topic, so I didn't respond, but given that it seems to have started up again with the mod not opposing it:

Yeah, a corvette is a better car than a 240. And an f40 will take the corvette. and a couple race cars will beat that.

Yet some find enjoyment in MAKING the 240 fast, then BEING a fast 240 driver. That's something to be applauded, not scorned.

saying that the 240 sucks, then shrugging off improvements that *actually* would help, then attacking those who try to make it fast...well that's all quite laughable given that *you* drive a 240. So why'd you buy a car that's admittedly so flawed? For style? Hooray? So you have your purpose for the car, others have theirs. For the record, the Corvette, RX-7, and a host of other cars look better than any S-chassis ever will, so your battle is just as futile as others.

The hypocrisy is glaring to me. You prize wheel sizing perfection and crazy aero, whether functional or not, simply because it's an area that YOU value. Those falling short of your standards or different from your tastes are inferrior by definition.

Yet in other areas, if someone applies the same rigid standards and same disdain for inferiors, you laugh at the effort they put in: in the HID lighting thread, you say, who cares, as long as it works- you don't need a proper retrofit and fine tuning; here with rotational inertia, hey, it doesn't even matter much and you won't "beat a corvette" anyways; so it doesn't matter.

Hey, it doesn't matter- to you. I'm all for laughing at people that fail miserably in areas they know nothing about, when someone shows diligence and knowledge, I respect it, and so should you. The guy asking how 5x100 17x7 +40's? We can all flame him to death because the journey is doomed by its own stupidity. But the guy that wants to shave a second or so from a laptime? Let's give him a hand.

Drifting is a sport that glorifies style- but isn't about outright speed. Perhaps spending so much time caught up in it has shifted your values, but don't assume that it should be so for everyone else.

thoes are koenig WRVs

the company is koenig special

here is the webpage http://www.koenig-specials.com/

that jspec whatever article with the retarded ass s13 with bomex and rivet on flares can go kill itself for spreading wrong information

they are german wheels, not japanese

if anything they would be made by bbs or ronal or borbet or somthing like that. not ssr

You might want to consider investigating further before spreading misinformation also. Koenig licensed SSR to produce several wheels specifically for the Japanese market... their designs, SSR's construction/manufacture. In japan, those Koenigs are also referred to as SSR-Koenigs. Koenig "imported" some of the SSR-made wheels into Europe also. But a lot of European Koenigs were made by OZ.

[chmercer]

they arent referred to as ssr koenigs. they are called koenig wrv. because thats waht it says on the wheel face. it says KOENIG WRV on the wheel. so people call it that. i dont call fn01rcs work racedoughnuts, because it dosent say that on the wheel.

[JH]

they arent referred to as ssr koenigs.

Actually they are. Much in the same vein as how people refer to SSR's Vienna lineup of wheels as SSRs, Viennas, or SSR Viennas, despite the lack of blatant SSR markings, those particular SSR-manufactured Koenigs are also often referred to as SSR-Koenigs (there ARE SSR decals on the wheels btw... you can see them next time you look at one in real life) in Japan and elsewhere. It would behoove you to just consider this one to grow on...ya learn something new every day, w/o having to berate people. It's just funnier when you do diss people, and then realize you were wrong.
