OK, experts - Some wheel suggestions please!

[skydragoness]

falken hanabi comes in 17x9 +20 for 4 lug. i think they're ugly.

I'm shocked that a company like Falken has come out with such tasteless,heavy rims. And with nothing for the 240 chassis! BLECK!

I think GramLights, Watanabes or Work rims would be hot... but pricey.

Yeah, those Falkens are really hideous and chunky looking. I never really looked at them closely until I read this thread. I can't imagine who's buying them. I've never actually seen 'em on a car in person.

For what it's worth, I really like the Work VS-TX but I'm afraid to ask how much they cost. Work has a lot of wheels I like, but many that are really, really freaky looking.

I'd be happy with some 4-lug Kosei K1's...oh well.

BTW, Skydragoness, did you get your Team Dynamics wheels yet?

Hey AZ, thanks for the exhaust! Maybe now i can try and help you. i got some Advan RG's in 4-lug. Not sure what color your car is but my wheels are gold. But heres specs:17x7.5 with 225/45/17 on front (could fit 235)17x8.5 with 245/40/17 on back (could fit 255)sorry i know you dont want less then 8" im just letting you know.tires are falken st-115some curb rash here and there, mainly on 2 of them, not really bad though. And i just found out these are discontinued.$1300 plus shipping (w/ tires)heres some pics

(pic before installed 6 months ago)

Those RGs are NICE! I bet they're light, and 7.5 f/8.5 r is a great size. Good tire size choices too. AZ, maybe look at some of the cast gram lights? They're usually around $300 each and come in lots of sizes in 4 lug, tons in 5 lug.

[nismofly]

WOW! thats a really good price for those wheels without tires nevermind with!

only problem is Greg were you ever planning to upgrade to Z brakes because the offset would be close on those with the bigger calipers...

[AZhitman]

Just got my Z brakes (should arrive Tuesday).

I *think* I may have found the PERFECT wheels. I'll let you guys know if the deal goes through.

Greg, The tires are bald and keep going flat on my vert and instead of getting new tires im just picking up from cheap wheels. Tell me what you think (dont flame because i know these are heavy cheap pieces of **** but for the price and the fact that i have about 10 brand new 17" tires, i cant beat it for now)http://www.wheelmax.com/Specials/specials.htmlGo to the Sport Max 962's

Ill get them next week and get some pics up.

[AZhitman]

OK, guys - I just bought the SICKEST wheel/tire combo for the 'vert....

Here's a sneak preview:

[Bronze MFP]

those are lookin good. were they on ebay? they look familiar. what are the specs?

[Jookmasta]

if ur selling the meshies that are on ur car now, let me know lol. btw, are those the velox rims that were up for sale a while back in the for sale section? if not, there was a 4 lug 18 x 8.5 and 18 x 9 in the back up for grabs there............

[AZhitman]

They're Work Equips, 17x8 and 17x9, 245/50 and 255/50 Azenis.

Man, if I curb one of these.... Not easy to replace.

My Racing Sparcos will be for sale soon (a couple weeks), but I have literally had over 20 people ask for "dibs" on them.

Therefore, I'll probably do eBay (to be fair) unless someone makes an absolutely irresistable offer on them.

[chmercer]

uh are you sure thoes arent meisters

[nismofly]

i was going to say they look like meister 3 pieces

[AZhitman]

Nope - Old-school Equips.

They do look like the new version Meister though.

The center cap and wheel barrel says Equip.

[nismofly]

ok, wow theyre nice, cant wait to see pictures

what are the offsets?

[Bronze MFP]

Good find greg, those are a sweet set of rollers.

[Jookmasta]

ya ur meshies are the hotness. i think ebay would be fair also as u cant really give dibs to "the best nico member". lol. we need pics of the new rims on ur car tho. id think it tough for the new rims to beat the meshies on ur car tho. something about a vert + meshies = match made in heaven.

5 lugs the way to go man
