Good stuff, 214kka-et240sx.
i would have to disagree with you on that... IMO i think the hatch looks better with bigger rims cause it has a sorta bigger body....

well , if anyone wants to know , these rims are heavy if you arent turboed , but they will be heavy for a all motor ka, but they do look nice on both coupe and hatch, i ordered these rims for a 350z cuz i have z32 brakes and i wanted to clear everything , and if you think i can't spin them for drifting, i could even in 3 gear , so these rims are really good for wat you pay for and they come fast by UPS, it took them 2 days to get to my house, i really reccomend these rims to all you nico buddies and thank you all for your comments, my plans is to be next to BOMEXS13 i like that car alot , they also come in gold , and it makes the car look like D1 status

I was looking into getting a set of these when I saw them on erollinc's ride.

zer...age=6

They are beautiful and look great and they come in 4 lug and 5 lug configurations, but I called them and they weigh 33ibs each...

That is a lot against my other choises, the Gram lights, Kazera KZ_B 22.1ibs and the featherweight Kosei K1 racers at 14.4ibs from tirerack.

I have a 4 lug pattern so I am a little more restricted.

Hmmm, I e-mailed them about getting a set with bronze centers and their e-mail response was that they DON'T make them like that. The bronze set that they feature in their magazine ads was a one-off set that they created just for the MR-S featured in the ad (Look in the most recent issue of SCC and you'll see what I'm talking about).

Look, the rims are tight just based upon appearance and their cheap to boot. The fact that they are REALLY heavy shouldn't be a consideration if you only plan on profiling and have no serious track time in mind for your car. I guess that's the tradeoff with these rims so weigh the options accordingly.

33lbs a wheel? OUCH. That's a huge jump in rotating mass vs the 18lb OE rims. Ah, some like style over function, whatever floats your boat. They are a nice style though.

for you info, thats not a FOCKIN APC crap , thats a STR exhaust, i am goin to get a apex n1 or hks so dont confuse my exhaust for a APC crap, i would not ever do that.

I think the exaust is perfect for the car, esp. w/ the turbo. But goddamn! thats a big *** lip. very hot! you could pick up some bishez with them and put them in your back rims. lol.

Hey - i have been lookin at gettin those rims i was just wondering how you liked the quality , and also was the clearance on the width and height of the wheel fine in the front and back?

if they rub in the front when you turn hard?
