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..

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.

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

NervGS

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

Not bad for non-military.

Heres my left nut ill take 1 set.

byhi

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.

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.

LB.Motoring

they remind me of bubbles in the air

hahahah im soo crazzzyy

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.

McRussellPants

These are my all time favorites. LXZ is my favorite multipeice, with Mineveras a close second.

SA90 Forged, I'd roll 350Z on 18x10.5 19x10.5 Stagger like a boulder down everest.

cost like 800$ per so nobody has them, including me =/

byhi

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....


also, sidebar - people ALWAYS bitch about wheel weights... so i guess we should all rock centerline wheels.... because they are lighter ... right?

byhi

btw, im rather impressed that someone knows about the forged sa90's.

too many people want the look but hate the price...i say "poppycock"

Shadytrixta1

Weld Prostars on my S14 FTW.

byhi

^^^ exactly what im talkin about, lol

OptionZero

isn't there a forged Work Emotion? Same design as CR Kai but forged, don't remember exact name

trust hks

sexy

There used to be, IIRC they stopped selling it because no one bought it. I don't remember seeing it in the 06 catalog anyway.

now theres just the W-ITS.

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?

They did not clear my 30mm Z Brakes. I have no idea what disk they are, but the sizes are 18x9 +19 (Running a 14mm spacer to clear brakes, making them a +5) and 18x10 +13. Tires are 225/40 and 235/40 Dunlop Direzza DZ101's.
