Which rims should I get

[daOne]

I am stuck between these two rims, which should I get? 17x9 +20 zigen FN's or Gram Lights 57S 17x8.5 +22

[chmercer]

id get 57s but in 9.5 width.

[daOne]

i would get the 9.5 but I only find them in 5 lug I dont feel like doing the hub conversion cause I heard I will have to change my back coilovers to fit the z32 backs and I just got my suspension 4 months ago.

gram lights ftw

i wanted those same wheels.

You should take a look at the MB Motoring Weapon wheels. Identical to the 57S's at about half the price tag.

i like the 57s better, i wanted those when i had my coupe.....

Identical? what are you smoking.

57S. MB Weapons not even on the map.

[babowc]

you shouldve used "similar" even though its still nowhere near 57s..

57 for teh win, if you can source good size+offset in 4 lugger

GRAM LIGHTS SHOULDNT BE A QUESTION!

you heard wrong. 57s doesnt come in any good 4 lug sizes anyway unless you custom

umm... no.

the rear is the easy part, it's just the hub. you can swap over the whole upright, but you don't have to.

thanks for all the info. this forum has been very helpful for all my needs.

last time i checked the ~17 lb gram light vs. the ~30 lb mb is a big difference

52 lbs of unsprung weight is big

gram lights ftw!

I was sold of the FNs in 17x9 +20 but then I found the 57 PRO's in any of these sizes,

17x7 +25, +40.

17x8 +12, +27, +35.

17x9 +27, +35.

My plans are to run 17x8 +27 with 225/45 front and 17x9 +35 245/40 rear without any fender mods and very little stretch on the tires. Unless I decide to go the same size all around in which I'm still waiting for a reply from Chris (Nismofly) to help me out with what the best size would be all around. The only sucky part about them is they are about $400 a piece so about $100 more or so than the 57c's. But they look super sweet.

NO DOUBT- LISTEN TO THESE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!

RAYS CRAPS ON 5ZIGEN!!!!!!!

fn01rc is probably a better fit/bang for buck when it comes to cheap wheels. you're probably gonna have to pay another 500 or so for gram lights. fn01rc is fairly light, good fitting, 4 lug, cheap, readily available but the design loses. imagine they had te37 or ce28n in 4 lug, cast, good sizes... at same price as fn01rc... it'll be hell all over again

my only gripe is the design sucks. but they are good wheels for the price.

9" +27 will probably hit coilovers up front, fyi
