Let's say you're out looking for some new shoes for the car. You come across these wheels. What do you say?

I'd say they are probably overpriced w/o even knowing the price.

#3. While a decent-looking wheel, the design has been copied too many times and is frankly played. Plus the fact that the sizes/offsets probabaly cater to Hondas. =\

price will play the big factor because the original fn01rc's arent that expensive as it is. The wheel does look nice and i think u might have a good selling point if you offer some not so normal colors..............maybe even custom colors? and of course, great offsets for us 4 luggers.

you do make a good point SeVa-S13, i have seen countless rims that look like that. what got me interested in them is the color. i think those would like rather nice with my silver moss...

although i'm leaning more towards gun metal as stated in my post in wheels/tires/suspension (also please read that and help me )

I just picked up the manufacturer. I'm not posting prices just yet but I can say you might be surprised.

I think the design behind these have been seen quite a bit but veebee's right, had it not been for the color scheme I probably would have overlooked them too. I really like that accent.

There's another set that I know are gonna be hot sellers down here in the dirty-dirty. They mimick the spinners design but without the spin. I've got several interested buyers already.

I'd say those first ones are gram-light rip offs, esspecially the stickers across the lip....nearly identical to the rays blue stickers they give you.

-CHet(and how much do they weigh?)

Almost. I couldn't figure out where I'd seen them.

The Spinouts are not ultralite wheels. 19 for the 17" and 21 on the 18".

The t/a's are much lighter putting about 16-17 on the 17". It comes in a 15" and 18" as well.

The offsets run from about 37-42 on these wheels. Cat equipped a Sentra with the 18" t/a's in Houston.

The t/a wheel at the top doesn't carry a bad tag on it IMO.

15" - $100/ea16" - $120/ea17" - $125/ea17" - $135/ea (Hypersilver)18" - $165/ea 18" - $170/ea (Hypersilver)

Hey, SDR, are you looking to find rims to offer the 240 crowd? I'd look up Team Dynamics, they makes rims in all bolt patterns and offsets and are well-made and lightweight as well. Unfortunately a custom order for me would take months. But a vendor would have more buying power/ability to order multiple sets and get a discount and they're relatively inexpensive retail-wise. I was going to get a set of Pro Race 2's 16x7's in +25 offset for $130 a piece (15lbs too) but the wait was too long and i had two severely out-of-round wheels at the time.
