fn's? alright
sizes are good
, weak offsets. nice tires.

[MakotoS13]

well if you got em super cheap i'd throw that money at some wide body action.

looks rad outside of the mexican flush bullcrap.

[Pudula]

how can one person say weak offsets and another person say its mexican?

[Ritz S14]

I have the same wheels :) But mines lowered like 3 more inches.

[sepulchral]

better than stock...? thats an understatement, 10s in the rear are hot man.... offsets are not too bad

[KoukiMonster]

dont' worry abvout what makoto says he likes having to search for treasure in his wheel wells

i guess the offsets are fine if you wanted to keep the fenders as is

[GoldWatchKid]

there alright. I'm about sick of seeing those rims. You new it aswell by the thread subject.

I'm pretty sure you got them for the same price everyone else did.

Anyway I'd pic black on black anyday.

Looks good bro...

yeah fns are old very old, but are better than stock specially with 10" rears!

[matlock]

Yeah I am digging the sizes, They look good in my opinion.

[Al_S14]

wheels look great. slick ride man really like it!

[krustindumm]

looks good. maybe polish the lip. The car is really black, needs some bling ;)

[infinitexsound]

looks good but not gangsta... running close to stock offset kinda takes away the reason for running aftermarket wheels..

[mrmephistopheles]

i'm so tired of hearing ppl complain about FNs.
Hell, I should go find a set of Racing Hart C5s just so I can hear ppl call THEM played out again.
Knowing my luck, they'd be called "cool, 'cause they're oldschool".

FNs are good wheels that come in good offsets and sizes for good prices. Why gives a shit who has them... this isn't a popularity contest. It's not 'see who can be the most unique'.

[wootwoot]

I think the sizes are great....It may be close to stock offset but it is 2 inches wider than stock up front as well....That makes a HUGE difference. Do you guys not look at the pics and just say they are close to stock?

[drIFtfAnaTIc]

dope car...i lyke i lyke

[El Rey]

nice wheels and nice ride. way better than stock. enjoy them.

[MakotoS13]

dont' worry abvout what makoto says he likes having to search for treasure in his wheel wells

i guess the offsets are fine if you wanted to keep the fenders as is

you're right. its a regular pirate fiesta in there, i tell ya. is it so wrong to want stuff to fit correctly and look professional? sure its a lot harder but in the end i'd say its quite worth it.

[Ian]

The rear offset is fine...10 wide w/ anything lower would be too much for the stock fenders. The fronts however are a bit too low for my tastes. I think the FNs come in a +15 as well for 9" wide, which would have been a better choice. However, either way, they are good sizes.

[BOMEX180]

nice wheels...i have a set myself, w/ polished lip tho

You roll a s13 hatch with stock se wheels in your sig. what gives?

[KOUKI KA-T]

front 17x9 +35??
I'm assuming it's a typo and they are +15.....

[*NismoS13*]

I think the new wheels look good, nice job.....

because his shit fits correctly...being stock offsets, you dont think that the suspension geometry just MIGHT have been designed for higher offset wheels?

i donno if you've ever felt the difference but there are both positive and negative effects of severly:
1. increasing height of wheel/tire
2. increasing width of wheel/tire
3. increasing weight of wheel/tire
4. increasing track width of the entire car


driving feel is altered drastically

[Ritz S14]

Ok. What the hell is wrong with you guys. That is a hot car. I don't even know why most of your are complaining about played out wheels. Yes, your mom probably owns a set, but who cares. THEY'RE AFFORDABLE!! and come in a GREAT VARIETY of sweet offsets, and lastly will most likely clear 12pot calipers. Isn't that why MOST of the 240sx community have these wheels? The car is nice. The only thing that really makes it look like shit is the resolution. I bet you'd get more positive responses if you had a higher res camera.
The wheels are flush, the tires are stretched, it looks very agressive. I'm sure anyone who sees you driving your car around town, or even at the gas station would take a second look, and think "whoa those wheels make the car looks like a beast". IMO offsets are pretty much perfectly matched with that car with no major fender modding.

I have the same width wheels, just a slight bit lower offests. I don't think they look anywhere near "mexican wire wheel" status.. I'd post a pic, but most of you are probably tired of seeing my car anyways. haha

[mistaanime]

they look nice...i wouldn't mind getting them..how much were they?

[airsoft]

YOu get a thumbs up from me. So does Star Wars Episode 3.

Good shiet man!

[seiyess]

front 17x9 +35??
I'm assuming it's a typo and they are +15.....

that looks like +35. +15's have deeper center.
35 or 15, it looks goood man! i always liked those sunken spokes. dope!

[ThatGuy]

I don't like FN's, but it's not my car and not my money buying them, so..

Enjoy your car, have fun with it, and do whatever you want with it. :D

[supportTHEezln]

the cool thing about fns, are since they don't really have a lip since they have deeper hubs with lower offsets, etc, if you decide to go lower offset in the future you can just get spacers and it'll look the same. i give it a thumbs up. the rears are fine i think. i'd take 'em.

[Touring240]

could you post some closer pics of the front wheel fitment? I'm liking of putting 235/45/17 on some 17x9 wheels :)

[dvdevo]

looks pretty coo..shoulda tried to find the one with the polished lip oh well.

[Irukandji]

they look great!

[The Riot Hero]

limo tint the windows now.

you people need to stop being so bitchy about offsets, the car looks great, not everyone needs -28 18x11.5 Work Meister S1s on their daily drivers. hell, half the people that bitching about offsets of other people wheels are running stock wheels themselves.


anyway, car looks awesome.

[Pudula]

If I posted up the fronts being 17x8.5 +22, people would be more accepting of the offset and size, but in reality the outer edge of the wheel is the exact same distance from the hub. The 17x9 +35 is flush with the side of the car and matches the rear perfectly.

I'd like to get a better pic, but that was my phone camera so no can do.

thanks for the compliments. I had to get flat black because im worried about flashiness. The 17k i've spent on my motor isnt really insured at all so getting this car jacked would ruin me.

[mr_240sx]

the rear sunken spokes looks hot, not sure about the front though!

[neverdone]

Could not have looked any better :bigok:

[that180guy]

you know, i know a coupel guys with those wheels.....but you fools make it look like every man with a 240 owns em'. I honestly hardly see those on the street. and actually those offsets look like the fit really nicely

[drew935]

Looks good to me. Better than stock and it's not some chrome 19s or something..hehe damn appreciate those who make their cars look good instead of bashing fellow 240 owners. :rl: His money, his choices, his preferences. same applies for you :w00t:

[aznpoopy]

they look fine.

without a better angle shot its hard to tell, but it looks like the fronts dont come out as far as the rears. nothing a spacer wouldn't fix.

running close to stock offset kinda takes away the reason for running aftermarket wheels..

i'm late on the reply.

even though the offset on a 9+35 vs a 6+40 is similar, the actual fitment is completely different. the 9+35 should come about 2 inches (40 some mm) closer to the fender. that is a big ass difference. offset doesn't mean *anything* independent of wheel width.

[Steeles]

how can one person say weak offsets and another person say its mexican?


Gasp Shock it's called DIFFERING OPINIONS!

stupid individuality. we should all be sheep and like the same chit.
