We cannot make the decisions for you. The last was a question about how you should style your car, this one is rims. Whats next, which shift knob should I get.

You should be looking at parts on the net and deciding for yourself which rims you would like, which body kit if any, which coilovers/springs to get.

We cannot make your decisions for you, for we are not you, and only you know what YOU like.

Build your car as you see fit, and post pictures throughout the build. Stop asking everyone what they would do to your car... Just doesnt make any sense.

There's Some Nice Wheels, But Most Have A Offset Of ~+35-40.

Ok, If Your Running BBK. But Most Of Us Are Not.

Since I was mentioned, I'll respond.

To original poster, those wheels seem to be cheap, mass produced junk that are not sized for our 240sx cars.

You know, members say this a lot, and they are everywhere on here (or they used to be and I'd argue sportmax's are more numerous than the FN's) but I've only seen two 240's (well cars period) in GA in the last four or so years with FN's and I've seen dozens with sportmax's. So, I'm not so sure they are really that common, and besides, they are good wheels and they look good IMHO. And OP, I don't like either wheel design, but if I had to choose, I'd go with A.

I have the staggard FN01RC's have had great luck with them. Whats so wrong with them, and they werent as cheap as any of the sportmax's, so I dont know why they are comparable.

What size and offset do you have? I have been toying around with getting some 17 x 10 +12's all around. The only thing is, I run on RS*R race springs with Koni shocks and Im worried that wheels bigger than my 15" mesh will look funny, i.e. too much wheel gap. I love my suspension and dont want to change it.

Not sure of the offset. I used to know, but I have the 18x9.5 prolly +10 or +12 in the rear. Front arent really offset.

I only mentioned them bc so many think that FN are a dime a dozen (and they may be, but not around here they aren't), but sportmax's are far more common and people are still encouraged to buy them from time to time.

If by dime you mean $1000 for just wheels then you are correct.

I have them, 17X9j +15 Fronts and 17x10j +12 Rears. I think they are ok, the only reason I got them is because a buddy of mine wrecked his car and I got them for a steal ($350 with crappy tires).

If you look now FN's are about $200+ per wheel (the good sizes anyway).

I like nice wheels, Work/Volk/SSR ect but I also think that spending $$$ for wheels that cost more than the car is retarded.

I personally like FN's, especially with that concave looks on the rear.
