help wheels

[0kami]

can someone show me an example or pics of 17x7.5 with 32mm offset? im trying to get this setup if it looks decent.

[wootwoot]

Do you have any other options? 7.5 and +32 are both on the weak side especially in that combination

16x7" +40mm Rota GT-3 http://www.machiii.net/images/wheels/big_GT-3.jpg spacers? :(
I just dont have cash for a good set of wheels right now, im only going for this deal cause of free shipping and i can buy by pairs which is really good for me at this time. But I mean, if someone knows of a better deal that im not aware of let me know please. My other option was the Falken Hanabi 17x7.5 32mm offset wheel, $145 each. Tires are gonna be a problem though :(

don't the gt3's only come in 4x100? ...i dunno, but i would just save my money if i were you.

they come in our offset now

[ZK]

You mean our BOLT-PATTERN. Offset is still 40.

[SilviaDriver]

our offsets? you mean our PCD

sorry I was on the phone, was not thinking right :keke:

Get good wheels or no wheels at all.

[wootwoot]

I would honestly recommend getting some used wheels. 16x7 no more than +25 would be the MINIMUM I would accept on my car. 16x8 +20 or so would be your best bet if you liek 16's. Check the group buys, they have a nice little deal going on for that size

[DocTaDrifT]

yea it dont think you should get those GT3s they look good on civics and stuff but not 240s

[kingsol]

they actually do look good on 240's, they're the gab knock-off's, but the offset is horrible. once again, i suggest that you save your money.

and get what?... I cant even find USED wheels under the 600 price range, let alone a good deal which allows me to buy in quantity. The only thing i can think of is probbaly kosei k1s but where can i buy those by quantity?

they are NEW and only 600

[wootwoot]

^^^ what I was talking about. Some Enkei's come in decent sizes as well.

[DocTaDrifT]

yea and good cheap used wheels for for sale here on zilvia all the time

they have 4-lug 16x8 +15 for $499! => http://www.wheelreplicas.com/cobrar4lug.htm

you want quality right? well then dont go with rota. rota's do look nice but they are shitty. hit a curb and watch your rims shatter. mount the wheels on your car and drop it and watch a spoke crack. haha yeah sounds ghetto but its true. has happend to me before. well yeah just get some wheels on wheelmax.com or something. dont get rota though.

i really want those gt3's, aside from quality, and im sure im not going to be humping any curbs, what would you guys do in my situation??? run adapters?

wait, save, and buy something better. :rolleyes:

seriously, be paitent and you'll find yourself a nice set of used wheels in a decent offset within your budget. Just b/c you can't find them today doesn't mean they don't exist.

as for the Kosei's you mentioned before...
Custom Machined Kosei K1's (http://forums.freshalloy.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=UBB20&Number=67851716&Forum=All_Forums&Words=kosei&Match=Entire%20Phrase&Searchpage=0&Limit=25&Old=allposts&Main=67699987&Search=true#Post67851716)
but it's over your $600 limit

[ZK]

The lowest price you are probably going to find on your Rota wheels:
http://www.machiii.net/wheels/GT-3.html

I've seen these with 15mm wheel spacers on a 240SX and it doesn't look bad. It is kinda small and narrow looking but hey, its cheap.

Run them with the +40 offset and you will look really stupid though.

I was looking at some wheelmax/excel wheels as extra drift wheels. Any negative feedback on them? You can't really beat 17" for only $105 each, even if it is only 7" wide.

[vvtisupra]

isn't T 3 selling konig wannatanabe;s 15X7 +0 remakes for like 120 bucks

holy crap... thats a great find. Do you have those rims? Or does anyone on here have them? 17x9 +18 in 4x114.3 is exactly what I want for my S14(minus the centercap haha). Those "Cobra R" are only $640 shipped for a set! Is it just me or is that a sick deal for us 4-luggers? Or am I missing something here? Because I can never find anything in that size/offset in 4-lug, especially at that price.

[North240]

I was thinking the exact same thing for the 16x8 in 5 lug i have been looking for a cheap set for awhile now!

how about 115 each for 17x9?

[The ROMAN]

uh where?
I'm probably gonna go with these Borbet wheels in 16x7.5 for $115 and paint em black. Tires are cheaper in 16" anyway.

Not to mention Tire Rack will mount and balance tires for free if you buy them at the same time.

dont know if this'll help, but heres my 17x8 35mm ofset.
