Rotas. haha i might get flamed. Everyone else will tell you to search that but becuase your from calgary ill help you out

rota d2's



Enkei E36



Gram lights



Those are some of my favs. I dont really know much about offsets, wheel widths and all that jazz so those are just the ones that I think look good. Show a pic of your car and i might photoshop some on.

There are so many different rims that look good on a 240, just buy what you like and call it quits.

I don't want to spend $3k on wheels for my $2k car, so the Rota Grids fits me just fine. Balla's don't like Rota's but I'm not a balla, I'm a baller. I'd also consider the Rota p45's too because they come in 17's and currently have them for 4 lugs. Check out my sig and the link below because I'm too lazy to post up pics.

Yeah, but most wheels on RB have a horrible offset unless you get lucky and watch it every day for a while.

HAHA well with all of the Rota love going on in here ill post up some pics of my personal fave (which is why i just spent $700 on them) They just came in the mail a couple weeks ago:

I like them for being so cheap, they're 17x9+12 in the front and 17x9.5+12 in the rear im broke so i dont have tires yet to install them heh.

P.s. i was kidding about rota love, had i money i would go for either the 5 star gram lights or the nismo lmgt4. Mmm nismo..

rightfully so, but thats to your advantage really. if those wheels had proper sizes they cost twice as much.

That's why god invented wheel spacers. I got my wheels from RB and they have pretty darn good offsets.

they almost look like nismo's but do you know the weights on the wheels cause i was thinking about those but i have a set of 5zigen that weighs 15 to 17 pounds each and that is pretty light for 17x8, so if you can get some weights then that would be great

Yeah they're like Rota's knockoff lmgt4. I think they are pretty heavy though i remember reading like ~21-22lbs? Guess cause theyre so wide and theyre rotas heh.

I got them from urbanimports.com. I had to call the guys though, they have a lot of stuff that isn't listed on the site, i dont think they had any 4 lugs on the site. They were friendly though and the wheels came in less than 24 hours no joke, i mean im only one state away from them (Theyre NC) but still thats quick for 4 wheels.
