Yeah id agree with the keeping tires and reselling wheels you could probably get 200 for them without tires and just take those tires for free, at least youre rocking se rims those are good enough to hold you over till you canget some wheels, much better than base model, gross.

yeah there a Malaysian company that has been making wheels since 95, I've searched around for a few hours and only found 2 pictures of used ones. they are discontinued and these are in awesome shape. if i do decide to put them on i will have something different.

BSA, they make okay wheels, but the offset on those look pretty high indeed, gonna need some major spacers...25mm or more... buy the wheels, keep the tires, sell the wheels.
Ok, now this is not a bad idea. I have bought two sets of bad fitting wheels in my less informed 240 days. After I become more educated, I regretted every plunking down money on the things. However, you might get lucky like I did!

The first set of wheels were 17x7+42 4x114.3 on my s13. $200 w/ tires. Ohhhh how I hate them now. But eventually I found a similarily uneducated s13 owner who wanted them bad enough to trade his lightly used PS3 for them.

The second set were 18x7.5+45 unversal 5 lug. Again, $200 w/ tires. They looked terrible on an s14! But I took the tires, put them on Z33 anniversay wheels and posted the wheels on Craigslist for $300. DSM and Honda guys are blowing my phone up for them!

One man's junk is another man's treasure. But best case scenario would be to just do it right the first time. You'll be happier.

The same company that manufactures this gem.

i have absolutely no idea what the name of them are, but they're ADR Racing, you can see it on the lip between the spokes. i have that same set. everyone makes their knock offs from this design, they are 17x7.5 with a +42 offset. weigh around 16lbs bare. 1pc alum. they aren't made anymore, haven't been for a while. i used them on a h23 swapped eg hatch i put together when i was 16, back then they were 10 years old. they were track wheels for my black 240.

fronts could be saved, rears are a lost cause..and yes, they need tuner lug nuts.

thanks for the info, is the car lowered any in that pic? did you have to roll the fenders?

these are basically the same wheel but from BSA

i zoomed in on one of the picture i took to finally find out the make



i was able to find a pic of a 5 lug version of the same wheels after searching ALOT through google and yahoo

ahhh, they are knock offs, damn. and soo my search continues for someone with the same as mine. nah, they sucks soo bad on fit fitmeant, i woulda needed spacers at least a 5/10mm in the front and at least a 25/30mm in the rear

but it had agx/sportline with a couple 3/8 washers around the thread in the rear to close the wheel gap. with what you'd spend on them, get megans. they are now on my M30 and that b**** is slammed(1000 extra pounds )
