Sorry, another rim thread..

[Blackdawg]

Hey guys, so i am nearing the end of my motor build(YAY! ) and am lookin ahead to budget out my rims/tires.

I have already settled on stance coilovers for my suspension.

Currently i am lookin at either the 5zigen fn01rcs or TSW Vairanos.

I want a real agressive look no matter what rim i get and i am fully prepared to trim and roll any fenders.

pros:

5zigens- Tried and true seen lots of cars with them and they look great. however hard to get in an aggressive offset. would prolly go 17x8 and 17x10

tsw-love how they look like work equips which i looked into gettin but couldn't afford yet. would prolly get in 18x8 and 18x9.5, i think these would look great..3'' lip on the rear! not sure what offset id run tho...

cons:

5zigens-have read they ding up pretty easily

tsws-kind of a cheap knock offish type rim..


Well thats it, id also take recommendations from you all. I really only dig the 5 star look for the most part and want a real aggressive look. Please let me know what you think! thanks guys

Fno1c 17x10 all around if you can even find them The 17x10 are discontinued.

roommate had these in 18x10 looked pretty sick on his 240. Forgot to try them on my car before they got sold
There p45r's. Weighed 21lbs in 18x10 iirc.

 

[Blackdawg]

they are? Aaron still has em listed on his site??

and even 10'' wide up front?

and those are pretty sweet wheels, i really like the polished lip look tho..

I have Rota Boost 18x10 +20 all around. I personally love the 5 spoke look, but this concave wheels dont look all that bad.

hyvman: wow those look awesome, do you know where they're made? And does anyone have a pic of the concave-ness in 18 8.5 +35?

Bought those exact P45r's, same colour but 18x9.5 +20 for my supra, just waiting on my coilovers to come in to put them on, if I get them on soon ill post a pic up for ya

 

[Blackdawg]

sweet hope to see the pics man!

and is the +20 offset generally pretty damn aggressive?

i have been reading more on offsets and from what i have gathered the lower the number the farther the rim will stick out..correct?

 

[A. Jay]

For a given width, yes. For a given offset the wider the wheel the more it sticks out as well.

Imo it would be better to stagger the offsets like a +20 in the back and a +35 in the front if you want that staggered look. Then you can still run meaty tires up front. LIke 18x10 and run 265 35/40 all around. Can even run 275 as long as you dont have an aggressive drop and your fenders are rolled.

Ajay here is some pics of his 240. Was 18x10 iirc and something like +20 COuld be 9.5. This was with a 215/45.

Iirc there about 7-900 a set. Quality wheel. Think there a knock off of something else but there clean wheels.

 

[koldfire08]

This is what I had taken with my phone. I'll get some other shots. Yeah +20 is aggressive. I MIGHT do a +10.

 

[c72c]

lips are over rated.lol. F-Zero Challenge! 18x10, 18or17x9

 

[hvyman]

Its all about offset

 

[Blackdawg]

yea i definatly want the staggared look so i guess ill look at +35 upr front and +20 in the back!

now just gonnat pick some nice rims...

 

[c72c]

back with my bias opinion... can't help it, it's one of my favorite 5 spoke wheels...

F-Zero Challenge, it's not exactly what most consider 'aggressive' looking, but still staggered.
18x10+? don't remember
17x9+40

and you can even get their sister and have some lip... SF Challenge. You can get them as low as +10 on 18x10

 

[koldfire08]

Offset means alot, atleast to me. My friend has 18x9.5 -3 offset all around. I should be +10 offset on x10's all around.

Of course some applications will hinder performance but that's your call. I have mild stretch on my tires until I begin to drift then changing it out.

I love the concave wheels, staggered width=more money, considering you can't rotate if you have directional tires.
