Another Rims thread, Help me Choose

[vda240]

Soo, I've been shopping around for some new wheels for my kouki, the best I've found was 5zigen's FN-01r's, Rota D2's. The biggest problem for me is that I am a not proud owner of a 4 lug , and I don't really want to do a conversion until after the swap (which will be a while hopefully by the end of this summer) however I'm tired of rolling in stock meshies . Also limited budget I'd say, which is around $800-1k.

So, what are my other options for 4 lug? I'm looking for this "curved in" look, I don't know what's its called but when the wheel "goes in" when you look from the side (kinda like this)

What are approx specs on those wheels & tires? Thanks guys, and excuse me for noob questions

[keith0486]

well your not going to find very many wheels out there for 4 lug in any crazy offset. i would just convert to 5 lug before you go buying wheels.

[whiterps13]

Its called 'concavity'.

There arent many options for cheap, good sized 4 lug wheels. The FN's and D2's are your best bet, unless you want to custom order something from Japan.

I second that...

Thanks for the replies guys, I understand that my options are limited.

What do you guys think about Tenzo's DC-5 or DC-6s? They look good, I never saw them on a 240 though.

They look just like Rota D2's. Do they come with the blue finish lip? I saw them like 3 days ago randomly, they had like 10 in stock, now already sold out

I've seen the Tenzo DC-6 Black w/Red before and I really like the look of them.

[SketchyRollin564]

The look your talking about is concave, but i wouild personally wait untill you swap to 5 lug. In the mean time, i guess you could try to find some used FN's

[sr20detRcr1]

that would be my friend johnny's (dkeeper240)'s car

ill ask him for the specs

[adrianfromthecastle]

FYI, the concaved FN's only come in 10" width or wider. They don't make the 10s in a 4 lug.

[fuse=--action]

Convert to a 5-lug, it's not that expensive. Just go with OE parts off of a 240sx SE model because those aftermarket conversions aren't all that great and they are way more expensive. Go check out a junk yard, or (I don't know where you are located) you could call around to some nissan specialty garages. Find one that sells cars, they will probably have parts just laying around, and they tend to be pretty happy to get rid of some of them.

To give you an idea, I got the two rear hubs, the entire front spindle assemblies, and 300zx front calipers for $450.

The crappy thing is that then you gotta get wheels. Look into some stock alloys for now I guess.-fuse.

[silnismo]

i believe he might have the same specs as my FNs. they are 17x9F ?offset and 17x10 with a 25 offset. i forgot my front offset, with 255's in rhe rear with no rubb.

[vda240]

Thanks guys, yea man your friends car looks hot I guess I won't achieve the concaved look with 4 lug's, Ill shop around alittle more maybe Ill just wait and convert to 5 lug.

[500hpSilvia]
