Two questions, where to buy Falken wheels and should I run staggered?

[youngmanvr4]

Well I have set on 17x9 +20 FN's but I just found out that they make Falken Hanabi's in 17x9 +20 also. So I think I might change from the common FN's and go with the Hanabi's. The only problem is Edge Racing has the best price but when I go to order them it would let me get to them in that size even thought they have the size listed. So should I just call them when they reopen or what?

Next the Hanabi's come in different size's. One of which is 17x7.5 +32. So should I run 17x7.5 +32 in the front and 17x9 +20 in the rear or just run 9's all around? Do you think that would be to much staggered?

I'm still not sure thought. I like the FN's more in some ways. Opinions.

man up and run the 17x9 all around. Those 17x7.5 will be too sunken in compared to the rears.

You should always call places when making a purchase like this well at least I do. I find it more reassuring that I directly spoke with some one rather than having an automated service order it for me.

The FN do look alot nicer than the Hanabi's but I think I am going with the Falken's whenever they restock them again (17x9's are supposedly on backorder from Falken) just because They are a bit less common than the FN or I might just go with the Grenade wheels from Japan same size and roughly about the same price

I run a staggered Hanabi setup on my S13 and the fronts do NOT look sunken in, they are right about flush (nothing sticking out beyond the fender) but the rears stick out a little bit, although I'm slammed on coilovers and I still didn't need to roll the rear fender lip.

^You wouldn't happen to have those hanabi's in silver would you? I saw someone at the OSW drift practice with silver hanabi's on an S13 and those were the first time I actaully saw them up close in person(I noticed you were from Central FL so I thought it might have been you)

Here is what they look like in 7.5 with 225/45 tires. Only slightly sunken in the rear.

Sweet, I have a red 240 also. Do you have anymore pics (like from further away?)?

[rawill240sx]

Here you go. Ignore the dirt the car needs to be washed bad.

Look sweet dude. I still cant decide which ones to get. By the time that the Falkens come off back order the FN's might be out (march-april). Over all I think I like FN's more. But I dont know.

Nah, mine are in Bronze on a Primer Grey hatch. I rarely leave Citrus County.
