Hey Guys, since I am a complete moron on offsets and camber stuff, is it possible to get help from my fellow members without getting flamed... well here's my specs:
1998 S14 SE
Z32 upgrade front and rear
Tein HA coilovers

Rim Size wanted: 18x8.5 (f), 18x9.5 (r) or 17x8.5 (f), 18x9.5 (r)

I want either wheel but whichever one that could come close to super flush with normal camber if possible and definitely do not want to pull fenders or go widebody. And no rubbing of course, I know I'm asking for so much but please help a member out.

willing to stretch tires?

search under my name or iEATrice, Works, SSR's, Wheel fitment, S14, etc...

semi stretch tires if anything... but definitely full stretched since NYC is not exactly smooth as a baby's ass... Heartwork I do appreciate any help though, you and IEatRice are fucking hardcore when it comes to fitting wheels. :coolugh:

This question is a little too vauge to find exaclty what you want. From the sounds of it something conservative should be recomended for you.

I could throw out some numbers for you... but conservative sounds about right... I know you're not willing to pull... but how bout roll your fenders? May I ask what "normal camber" is to you? Is this the normal ~2.9-3.2 degrees you get from dropping the car in the rear??? Also, do you have camber plates up front? If not you'll have to go with a higher offset wheel... just means less lip in front and rear.

Hey Guys, I guess I am a little on the conservative side but the thing really is that I am trying to keep the car as clean and smooth looking as possible, just got repainted to original Silver Moss color, I am not trying to go for the biggest wheels with the biggest lip but something that does stand out a little, iEATrice something like how your car looked with the Sternface rims... BTW I do have the same OEM aero kit on except I added the OEM factory window visors and a GP sports roof lip spoiler. And yes the Tein HA's have camber plates up front, I'll run camber I dont care anymore. C'mon guys enlighten me, ALL I really want is the most LIP and flush fit I could get without going too far just to get the fit. Sounds like I'm just a poser but it really is all temporary till I learn more about S14 fitments and get my SR swap done. I do appreciate all the help. thanks.

Termist S1C is discontinued, so there are only a few available sizes they can offer until Work Japan is out of production. You may find them used after that.

You can always go with the meister S1' Which is very similar to the termist.. and we (auto rnd) are excluse in the states on them...

Hey Josh, so you guys are the only ones that can get meister's??? Just curious... cuz I've seen them on other sites.

But back to the thread... you should be able to ask the AutoRND guys for a wheel fitment recommendation since they are authorized to sell wheels like work and stuff. You still didn't answer my question about rolling your fenders so I'll assume no. You can run Scott Zoll's fitment from his s14, he ran stock unrolled/pulled fenders with 18x8.5/18x9.5 contact him and he'll fill you in formula02 is his member name on here.

Hey Jay,
Got your PM, I just sent a reply back let me know what you think, and thanks for the info with Scott Zoll's fitment, actually I might roll the fenders since it isnt that tough of a task and lets me clear for more rubber right??? I dont know what sthe best way to do it though, you guys have any ideas??? I really sound like such an idiot but like I've explained before I was an Integra fan till about a year and a half ago when I got my 98 S14.

AutoRnd, How good are your prices? If you can beat JDM market prices maybe you've a customer. Reason why I said that is I have contacts in Japan that could buy it for me used or new but its just a pain in da ass to call and arrange shipping etc...

Well the car is about to come out the body shop, I'm going to post some pics when it comes out.

Work Meister S1 is NOT exclusive to AutoRnD. You can get it from Autobacs USA and also 5zigen USA I believe. Try Wheeloptions.com as well. The only Work wheels that would be exclusive is the Work RSZ-R and Work Emotion to AKH Trading. You can go through a gray market importer, but most likely they'll refer you to AKH for those two wheels.

Yeah I know they're not exclusive... I just think it's funny how they always say they are and that they go direct to work hahahaha

actually.. Try ordering a set of meister s1's from either 5zigen or akh... You will find that you can not get them from those guys. We go direct through japan. Not through a japanese wholesaler. Also.. For those of you that do see the work meister's for sale call them up.. They will either not be able to get it or will be forced to order from us. So before you start getting into a fit. Please find all the information first. We are a wholesaler as well as as a Retailer so you will see meisters for sale. Also... We are North American Wholesaler of Endless usa.. So if you don't believe me on that one either. Call up endless USA...

Oh wow. I can go straight to Work Japan on this one as well. I used to deal with them. You may be a regional distributor for your area, but you're not exclusively selling them as what AKH does with Work Emotion rims. I don't mean to cause any problems Ard josh. Just want to let the other people out there know you can purchase Work Meister S1 elsewhere. If you guys aren't local to Norcal, but in Southern California, hit up Autobacs USA.

Anyone have any pics of 17's on an S14? either Work S1c or SSR Profesor...

AutoRnD

no worries...
but maybe we are getting mixed up in the communications.. We are exclusive to the work meister wheel Within the whole USA... better? talk to autobacs and have them try and get a set. It just wont be happening.

Hey guys I just want to know who has the best deals for these f*ckin wheels, I dont even care if they're used as long as they are in good shape. I'll buy them by pairs if I have to. iEATrice if you don't mind emailing me and let me know if you got any deals even for pairs only, Auto Rnd I dont know how good you're prices are but you pm me or send me an email at [email protected] as well.

Jay I really hope we could work out something bro, any good deals on these same type design rims I'll be interested in. thanks
