honestly i dont like any of the new line up

the 531's in platinum look good, but why no 17" or 18"?

and as with the last wheels they produced, they always do look better in their ads than they do actually mounted ...

There really are a lot of honda sizes in there lol. I wish they'd made the 530 with the 526 sizing, I want a 17x9/17x10 setup but I don't really like the 526. And I don't have the money for enkei's.

yep, if they did that and stayed in the same price range. they would probably be being bought by 85% of the 240 community as aftermarket wheel choice. ive noticed larger hondas and acuras are going with highly agressive fitment now, as well as the whole budding amatuer vip scene, they want super crazy fitment by A.M.N. and ive noticed small light trucks running more agressive fitment as well. theres a whole ocean of market they havent touched yet they just need to have wheels availible in a wider ranger of offsets.
imagine them saying ok lets offer a good looking wheel in 17" and 18" 4 and 5 lug variations with width ranging from 8" to 10". along with offset variations from +25mm down to -25mm....it wouldnt matter if it was 25lbs, only had in 1 color people would buy them out like mad.
of course there are things im not considering, im not a business man after all. id just like to see them expand and possibly move up a tier on the aftermarket wheel scale.

no, no they arent. read that again...i said +25 all the way down the line to -25mm among other things they are not doing which they should and perhaps could.
on top of that, i like the wheels however i dont like the 9.75 nonsense. bring that s*** out to a 10 inch wide barrel, i mean why the F not?
my point is, they are only touching the surface of what they could be doing, i think maybe they will be doing these things in the future if they want to become a better household name.

Hey guys a little help please. Im looking into buying some new wheels for my 1996 s14 silvia but im unsure on what exactly to look for. It currently has stock suspension not lowered or anything and I don't intend on lowering. I was wondering about the Square g6 model wheels. Would 17x9+15 (4x114.3) be able to fit on my 1996 s14 silvia without having to roll the fenders or spacers? Thanks for the help!

Sure, those wheels will fit as long as you pick the right tire size. Its going to look ugly as all hell without suspension mods though. 4x4 truck height & no adjustable camber to dial out all that poke from such a low offset .. Lol...no thanks. Fail in the making.

Hmmm thanks. and my reason for not lowering too low is cause where im from (the bahamas) speed bumps are like everywhere and a few people have gotten stuck on them from time to time but we'll see. maybe after i put the wheels on ill see how low I can go! thanks again

You dont have to slam it...my car is lower then most dd 240s and i still can make it over speedbumps fine. Nice and slow with a bit of an angle and your good. At least get lowering springs if nothing else.

Always go low before you get wheels.

Hold up... Are those 4 lug Work Equipes I'm looking at?! :squint:

If they are, I'd encourage you to keep them and look into having the lips and barrell custom widened. Player sh*t right there, my friend. Just pick a less gaudy color/finish.

Looks like you're already lowered a tiny bit. I guess I won't complain. But 17x9+15 is pretty aggressive without the capability to adjust your camber. Wheels are going to poke out some. Gonna be mexi-flush.

I was gonna say the same thing when I saw this 4 lug equipps. They almost look off with the 4 lugs, and to think I was imagining 4 lug vs-kf's today lol.


Pretty sure the worst part about Cheap 4 lugs is when you get 4 identical wheels, offset and everything. I has it because I have it and it really bugs the crap out of me.
