They are a lot different than a lot of rims, not too many sold. I bet thats why they discontinued them. i do like them though, if i could find them in 17x9 i would buy them

To be honest... I'm not crazy about the Hanabi's. Those slanted spokes just don't do anything for me. There's quite a few better looking 17x9+20's for 4x114.3, IMO.

Fail front sizes on that Craigslist add.

The rears are the size you want them all to be.

Examples? All that I know of are a few Rotas and Failmaxx if you add spacers.

Just click my sig links. But specifically, I like the OG Axis Banzai's and TI-7 wheels.

Ah yes, you are the creator of that thread. Thank you for that.

I do like the Axis wheels, but at $250 a piece no thank you. As for the FN01RC, I only dig the concave ones, and those are only 5 lug. Boooo 5zigen.

I believe I will order some "blank" wheels and have a machine shop drill them to 4x114.3 for me.

Yeah... I'm not crazy about the price of the Axis Banzai's, but I absolutely love their look, so I'd pay the price if I weren't already fixated on P45R's and Grids.

If you want dirt cheap, look no further than the XXR 006's. I think those 17x9+20's are pretty good looking for what they are...

The FN01RC's aren't really so bad, IMO, concave or not. They just got too popular for the forum trolls tastes. I'm sure most ppl will think they are good looking wheels. They're probably still the lightest 17x9 wheel available for 4 lug.

I have NEVER seen anyone rocking the TI-7's though. And thats a shame. With all the finishes available for it & it's prism lip, you'd think they would have blown up a long time ago... :gotme

I don't care if they're 10 years old, I think Fn's are going to be my next set of wheels.

EDIT: Integra blades are dope^^^
