another rim/tire question

[TurboKA37]

I want to kno everyone's opinions on these wheels:http://www.pdm-racing.com/specials/specials.htmli really like the design and they seem like a pretty good weight for a 17x7 wheel. also, i need tires for these wheels. i was thinking either the yokohama AVS ES100 or the Kuhmo ECSTA supra 712. i need to kno what size will fit these wheels, tirerack.com suggests a 205/45 for 17x7 wheels but i was thinking a 215/40 if it would fit. all suggestions and opinions are welcome. thanks

ir probably wont clear coilovers, and its a VOLK CE28N knock-ff...and its narrow, but otherwise its not a bad wheel. if you like the way it looks, and arent really worried about coilovers, etc it should be fine. run a 215-40-17 to keep gearing on a s13 close to stock(or a 215-45-17)-chetEs-100 are the way to go for budget tires man.

they prolly wont clear coilovers? what about regular struts? (AGXs) thats what i have right now and i dont plan on buying real coilovers unless i somehow get alot of money sometime (still in highschool). im just looking for an attractive , fairly lightweight, good priced wheel. and this fit the description. i was thinking with a 42mm offset there wouldnt be any clearance problems but i could be wrong. do you have any other wheels that i might be interested in for under $200 a peice?

hey exar, how much of a change did the nismo clutch line you have make? ive been thinking about getting one and have heard good things. also how do you like ur brake set up?

[Exar-Kun]

the nismo clutch line helped with pedal feel, much like the SS brake lines did for my brakes. I just makes sensing clutch take-up a bit easier.

I love my brakes, although I did heat spot them recently, so I may be going to 300zx brakes once i wear these out. I heat spotted them durning repeated 100mph-0 braking during some "Agressive" driving...heh.-chet

what about the wheels? do u have any suggestions on similar priced/sized wheels?

[Exar-Kun]

My friend has those wheels on his sentra, not too bad for the money, if you like the look, and arent planning on running coilovers, those should be fine.-chet

those wheels look nice! although the fact that i think i see a machined lip may be the sole reason for my opinion. i love wheels with a nice machined lip.

and as for the tires...i'm guessing a 215-45-17 would be a lil more protection for your wheel investment IMO.

thanks for the input. im now looking at the 5zigen FN01R-C which i had origonally thought about getting but was driven away by cost but i think i may have found a nice deal.

[TurboKA37]

oh yea, what finish rim do you guys like best on a green/purple kinda changes color 240? hyper silver, bronze, or hyper black? i think i like the bronze the best but i think the hyper black will look the best on my car.

that would be my sentiments exactly.

[TurboKA37]

thanks for the help. im really having a hard time deciding on which rim and which finish to buy

i truly understand what you are going thru. like i was telling ben, who happened to go with the zigens that you are also looking at, i've been searching for months. the one and only thing i know with certainty is that i want a wheel with a machined lip. it defines the wheel a lil more IMO.
