Ordering New Wheels Color Choice

[kuramaya]

I am ordering a set of M2 Hanbais NC-10R's tomorrow. I have decided to get 17X9+20 all around and run a 5mm Spacer on the Rear. I used to only like Bronze, but after rollin with these shiny shits for the past couple of months I think I like the polished as well. Here are some pics, what do you all think for a white car?
All wheels below are 17x9+20 sized:

[yokotas13]

polished of course

[mrmephistopheles]

yeah, go for the bling.
Honestly, I'd suggest you just find some nice used wheels in more aggressive offset, but go with what you like. :D

[AuburnRyan]

Daryl - Polished, especially on white IMO.

But I typically only like bronze/black wheels on about 1% of the cars they're on...

I'm in between on that style above - don't luv it and don't hate it...liked the used set you picked up before better :)

I'd suggest a nice used forged set. Size/offset looks good to me - but WTF do I know :)

[kuramaya]

yeah, go for the bling.

Shit only 17g's a piece bro, these are gonna be my daily's you dont think +20 is aggressive enough? I am running +10 on the rear and +22 on the front now and the rear could come in about 5-10mm and front is already in need of over fenders...I like these since no one has them...maybe I will order 2 first and see how they look. Worse case I have a set of track wheels:confused:

[mr_240sx]

honestly i tihnk they will both look good.

[Slidin240Wayz]

Bronze. My friend has white on bronze, looks good. Polished will have little contrast.

[luckyslide16]

Go with the polished! Bling FTW!

[FaLKoN240]

Polished, how much are those a set?

[bigflip]

How about bronze on one side and polished on the other lol.

[mrmephistopheles]

Nah go for 4. They're certainly not bad.
Just roll your fenders out a little more.
Oki needs some more cars with flush fitting wheels.

[chmercer]

yeah polished

bronze is bleh

[clutch kick drifter]

Bronze!!!!!!!!

[Ian]

Polish is win!

[wanganwonder]

polished

not even a question

[phreze]

Whichever you think looks beter, is it just me or does this rim look like the xd9 with more concave spokes?

[ThatGuy]

Polished. Once you've had bling, there's no going back. :keke:

[Ian]

Looks like the 57 Optimise to me

[S13SilviaGirl]

I like bronze on white cars. Looks dead sexy.

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

polished.


johnny cochran says: if it don't blind the eye, you mustn't buy.

[LookOut Nick]

how much is a set of polished 17x9's going to set you back?
Oh and of course i <3 shine

[240trainee]

polished ftw

[Silvia_S13]

id go with polished, and i dont think +20 is agressive at all. im running 17x9 +10 all around and i can see myself going more towards the +0 area.

[!Zar!]

Polished. Done.

['90RPS13]

Polished.

fuckmessagelength

[woodchuck]

http://www.m2-hanbai.com/

and polished all the way.

[s13poop]

POLISHED!

[Slow Poke]

Bronze is hot on white cars but they look really good in polished!

If you don't like to clean your car allot then I would go with the bronze if you clean it all the time then go for the bling!

[midnight zenki]

PolishedD FTMFW.

[mr_240sx]

Polished. Once you've had bling, there's no going back. :keke:

[mr_240sx]

[kuramaya]

do we get any commision for helping you decide? lol

Yeah! when I see you I will give you 5 bucks how is that? Zeroyon says bronze as a majority but I think the polished will look good..wish it said if there was a weight difference...

[240trainee]

[CKAMC]

●５Ｈ ＋３８mm



Thats actually flush offset for a certian toyota I know of.....

[staygold24]

I like the bronze. Wish they sold those in the states. Would have picked those up earlier if they come in 4 lug.

[Jefferson]

I'd rock polished, especially on a white car

[iwishiwas-all*]

gb time hahaa i want those bad, better than mb motoring to me, how much they go for over there? any distribs in the US?

[Matej]

Polished on a white car is boring unless it has a huge lip. It might look pretty good if they're concaved enough though, I can't really tell from the pictures.
I guess I have no right to speak anyway, because of my cliche wheels. Go with whichever one you like better. :)

[FinalDrive]

they're both hot, but i have to give my vote to the polished ones
unless there is a rediculous price difference

[kuramaya]

Well I was set on ordering the Polished ones last night, due to the equinox holiday the place was closed...so I now had 24 hours more to decide....shit now I am deciding on bronze :kiss:

[CKAMC]

Bronze remind me of what your car looks like already...

polished brings out a more classy style...

IE? Aubre's car (classy FTW)
(warning AME wheels)

[kensreliableb18b]

just get polished. dont like it? rattle can it bronze (worst case scenario). bam! both sets for the price of one!

[kuramaya]

CKAMC - damn YOU!!!! Now I want Polished again:loco:

[skate07]

is it just me or does this rim look like the xd9 with more concave spokes?

you are right........ if the XD9 came in 10 spoke. and looked like a concave OEM STI wheel.....



EDIT - go with polished, bronze is too FN'y

[CKAMC]

CKAMC - damn YOU!!!! Now I want Polished again:loco:

dont make me post that video of just you learning to drift :D get the polished :D

[LB.Motoring]

Big D,

Damn you,

jocking my style I was gonna rock a set of these in full chrome :(

[kuramaya]

dont make me post that video of just you learning to drift :D get the polished :D

Ouch!!! hey I am better now. Oh and I didnt make a thread, but picked up a KAAZ 2 Way and will be installing it tonight. I should be smokin now:ughd:

[worangejuice]

[mr_240sx]

(warning AME wheels)

Why warning on AME wheels?

AME's are bad ass

Example:

http://www.rogansan.com/paint/logan_12.jpg

Circlar Spec R's in BBF Finish

Shinier than your fake ass watch

[skate07]

Why warning on AME wheels?

AME's are bad ass



im sure he meant warning, shit is so hot, it'll set your eyes on fire

[CKAMC]

concave wheel vs 5 star wheel... difference of taste was the reason behind the warning really.

yeah they are hotness why else does logan sell the brand :)

[staygold24]

I say if you kit your car do polish. if not do bronze. Im not a flashy guy so Id go with bronze and leave body stock.

If you do plan on kitting the car get polish... and 18's

[r-b-x]

i liked those wheels when i first saw 'em. then i learned they were knockoffs of prodrive's. very similar spoke style. but they're still cool.
http://www.scienceofspeed.com/products/exterior_performance_products/NSX/Prodrive/models/gc010E.jpg

[TheS13kid]

BRONZE bro......go with the BRONZE!!!

I really don't dig chrome....but like what mostly everyone is telling u....go with what you dig.


...i have seen alot of hondas with that (style)type of rim.

[chmercer]

god bronze is the pits. if you have an option between CHROME and BROWN. and you pick brown. i dont even know

[SilviaSR20DET]

wow nice rims, bronze is pretty freakin hot! how much is it for a set? 600?

[LB.Motoring]

:)

haha its ok, Grant was gonna send me a pair, I donno what happend....

[kuramaya]

Polished Ordered, should be here by Friday. Track day on Sunday, it's autoX so I will leave the new wheels on with the good tires.

[klohiq]

god bronze is the pits. if you have an option between CHROME and BROWN. and you pick brown. i dont even know

well put, but I guess a lot of people don't like their car looking like they got it from a kracker jack box...

Isn't there more than just two finishes available? I'm really loving anthracite/hyper-black/black chrome, but with the right setup I've seen nearly every finish work well and look great...

I seriously don't understand these threads though...photochop it and see what you like, don't go by what everyone else says...or else you'll end up with a car someone else likes and be stuck paying the $$$.

[scottie]

Post up pics when you get done!

[lucky7]

im tired of bronze wheels nowadays for some reason. i want those polished wheels on my car.

[phreze]

I wouldn't call bronze brown more of semi-glossy/metalic brown. Was going to WMC but it was 30% more, now I regrete that I didn't. When I got my XD9's I was going to get them gold but was latter told they only came in bronze, gray, red, black, and white. I went bronze because it was closest to gold (should have gone white).

So the moral is.. go with whatever you want the most no matter the cost

[kognition]

Nice wheels,
If you go polished, you can always get em powdercoated down the road without the extra expense of having them strip that bronze finish off. Just a thought.
But the bronze finish is nice as well.

[mr_240sx]

post up some pics when you get them installed!

[Ninjabread]

x2! Those wheels will look hot man.

[kuramaya]

The wheels came in today from the mainland. Holy shit:aw: , they are 10 times doper than the pics on the site. I am for shizzle glad that I got polished. They are black chrome looking, and the concave is way more than the site showed. We had a discussion and I may be the only one rocking these as of now in Okinawa...check it:2f2f:

[kognition]

Damn nice looking wheel!

[exitspeed]

Only thing I can say is:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v491/exitspeed/randywatson.jpg

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

waaaaaaaaaaaaaay better then bronze. too bad no one sells then here as i would definately consider getting a set! can't wait to see what they look like on your car!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v317/bjorkluv/IMG_4125.jpg

[jonathans15]

Nice......bronze I Like

[Taniguchi_Is_#1]

:bigok: you made the right decision.

[!Zar!]

Go With The Bronze Man!
Not To Be Racist But Polish Is For Either Mexican Or Black~^^
I Would Go For Bronze
Not to be mean, but you're a piece of shit and your mom's a cunt licking whore, who also happens to be your sister/gf And your car looks like shit with that wing and your monster truck ride height~ ^_^;
I say stop failing at life.

[Ninjabread]

Holly sex. Can you export some of those wheels? I'm diggin' the 4 lug.

[scottie]

Those are nice rims for low cost. I like the chrome. Still have to see it on the car before i make my final judgement call. But out of the box they look pretty darn good.

Scott

[luckyslide16]

Those joints are neck snapping fresh!

"compound the pressure points and snap him like a Polaroid, say cheese!"

+rep if you can name the Artist whos lyrics those are!

[phreze]

If only someone would set up a group buy for these wheels, we could rock some nice looking track rims.

[kuramaya]

Thanks for the good comments...My boy Eric and I were talking about ordering a few sets..but the logistics behind it are a bit much..I am about to head out on a 50 day journey so time is short for me to do anything like that right now...

[youngmanvr4]

I'm glad you went polished. Bronze looks good to but I love the chrome. Really, how many 240's have polished/chrome wheels? Compared to bronze, silver, black...not many.

Any change of getting them in the states?

Post pics when you get them on the car.

[kuramaya]

Just back from Thailand and installed the wheels today, here are the Pics!

[surge s14]

bling factor is a must

[240trainee]

Damn thats some bling right there

[mrmephistopheles]

Lookin' good, Daryl.

...and I know you're not going to want to hear this... but your car NEEDS some 18s. Like a crackhead needs rock. Like the Donald needs a new wig. Like Seigfreid needs Roy.

...and let your 'Fooky' friend know that sharpening should be done sparingly, and not be overkill. :keke:

You going to meet up with Ray (fliprayzin240sx)?

[liv2drift045]

damn d lookin good

[ownnij]

man those wheels are hot but how the hell are you gonna order them. looks like you gotta get with the people in japan

[liv2drift045]

WTF are you talking about? He already has them on his car, and he lives in Okinawa. Now if you had said "How am I/How can I order them" that would have made more sense.

[O3DigitalBath]

looks good now..but would look even better just a lil bit lower.

[mrmephistopheles]

[liv2drift045]

Gimme her number and I'll call... if u look under his damn avatar it says japan.

*EDIT* and I'm one of the people that can help you get them if you want, but when you started talking bout putting cocks in mouths you put your foot in yours. Get over yourself its the fucking internet.

[axiomatik]

damn, I've been blinded by the bling! looking good, but but you need to go about 1" lower.

[kuramaya]

LOL @ the last few post:x:

[kuramaya]

Yeah, yeah.
Told you you wouldn't want to hear it! :keke:

Ha Ha!

Yeah Ballin, I have the only set as of now in Okinawa I think. Went to the local parts store last night to pick up some fuel line since mine is dry rotting from sittin and the owner said "VIP dorifto" I'm ordering 2 more so I can match at the track as well:coold:

[Full-Lock]

that looks really nice. i would go lower and space though

[kuramaya]

that looks really nice. i would go lower and space though

lower - Yeah I have been wanting to go down a bit more, I am still PWND by not relocating the Harness, it is on the list of shit to do.

Spacer - The front is sticking out about a CM now, I am gonna pull a bit in the front. The rears now have a gap as of yesterday. The setup is for the +10's mesh I was running. I have the rear camber bolt maxed out. If I am gonna use those mesh for the track, I can run a 5mm spacer with these. If not, and I get another set of these, I will take away some of the camber.

Dyno run coming this weekend, hoping for 350...
Late

[Lordrandall]

I still don't get the whole stretched tire thing, but the wheels look good.

[mr_240sx]

those wheels are very pimp my friend!! good job and nice choice!

[kuramaya]

Thanks brother. I had a rough night last night. The night before I blew out my left rear coilover. Yesterday I ended up buying a brand new set of CST Zero 1's. Then it started to fuckin rain. I spent all evening installing and setting the rears in the rain. I will do the fronts later when I have the time. Gonna hit the Dyno today so that was the rush to get the new coilovers in.

[Dirty Habit]

I with everyone that thought the chrome would be too much.
Way to prove us wrong.

They look beautiful.

[Topless_92]
