Regarding this car with the 17x9 +12 P45R's, how do ya'll think they would fit on a '89 240? They offer them in a +25 too, but I think that would be a little bit too much. It looks like the +12's fit good even without a spacer or anything.

^^^Keep in mind that those TE37V's are NOT gonna look like the ones on the car you posted. That blue car is likely running 17's in the front and 18's in the back or maybe even 18's all around - Proper S13 sizes. Those 15's will fit more like those the wheels on the Hachi Roku above. These new Volks really are more old shool Corolla flavored.

17x9+12 and 17x9.5+12 will look good. It's been done a million times. Lets try not to turn this into a thread for your fitment questions. Just post wheels that you know fit good.

Can you still buy the Falken Hanabi's? I looked around a little bit but I didn't see anywhere that sold them.

Why does it seem like mesh wheels look better on S13's and not so much S14's? Does anyone else feel the same way?

Because most s13's with mesh wheels use those dinky 15x7 or 15x8 wheels. That's entirely too small for an s14. Properly sized mesh wheels can look good on just about anything...

This site has the lowest prices I've seen on Rotas (besides getting them from Discount Tire).
http://18racing.com/wheel_grid_offroad.html
http://18racing.com/wheel_grid.html

But http://www.wheeldude.com is probably the best resource on getting info about custom colors and sizes.

Check the Rota Availabilty list periodically to see what colors and sizes are currently in stock: http://www.rotawheel.com/AVAILABILITY.htm

The color code for what you want is: AB GREEN. Currently, only dinky sized ABSOLUTE GREEN Grids are in stock... :gotme

^^^Yup!
http://www.nlmotoring.com/XXR-527-Wheel ... 79082n.htm

Thats damn near a 10 inch wide 4 lug wheel that will probably be less than $160! Add in some 7mm slip on spacers and your set! (Well, depending on your coilover's backspacing...)

But have you seen XXR's other new wheel!? Imma go 5 lug for this one!
http://www.nlmotoring.com/XXR-526-Wheels-s/1648.htm
Can you say cheap 17x10+20 and 18x10.5+20!? :laugh:

They are coming wit it, man! It's like a XXR/Rota War for the cheapskates dollars!

Subbed for some quality ish right here!

No wheels to contribute right now, but check this out if you want to balance your bling with not increasing unsprung weight too much: http://www.wheelweights.net/ ...altho i'm sure some of you be gettin sprung looking at this thread ahaha

Planning on rocking Grid 16x8+10 but my only concern is I'm SOL if I wanna go Z brakes someday. Someone mentioned a 17x9 size that might clear... anyone got weights on those?

The 17x9 Grids are about 21.8lbs. About the same as Enkei FN01RC's.
