Well, if it's cheaper than the prices I quoted, I'll buy em.

I can buy those wheels for $499 or with high performance tires for $787. So how much you willing to sell them for? lol

It looks like I have probably sold my Rewinds, thanks to Zach
So now I really need to find some wheels. I am still having trouble figuring out what offset I need, Sportmax wheels I am looking only come in a 35mm offset. Also I was looking at my car and it doesnt seem like I will be able to run 17x9's in front, it seems a little to wide without rolling my fenders? I am either going with sportmax 962's or some 5Zigen FN01R-C. With the 5Zigen I could run 17x8s up front with 17x9's in the back. Only problem is the 17x9 only comes in 5 lug. With both wheels I am going to have to run some type of adaptor or spacer. I have never run spacers on a vehicle before, would I run into any problems with them like them coming loose?

Thanks
Rob

Yeah. Without tires.

Even still this forum is like my new found home. Everyone on here kicks ***. I'd do them the favor even if it was 50 bux more expensive or something.

Have fun buying rims on Ebay. I dont trust ebay for anything that expensive.
And like Zach said that is obviously with out tires mounted and balanced.

And Shady,
Thanks again for the help. It seems like I might just roll my stock swastikas for a little while untill I can afford to get coilovers and wheels at the same time. So having coilovers will help a little. I found a company that gets 17x9 5Zigen FN01R-C's specially made for 4 lug S13's. They have a 20mm offset which Im guessing is still too much?

I prefer the old school wheels myself like this Work Equip Wheels
http://www.group5motorsport.com/main...=WORK-EQUIP03S
or this Panasport wheels
http://www.panasport.com/c8colors.html
These will run you about $500 and up per wheel depending on size. The Works are not available in 16" diameter though.
If you want a less expensive wheel, check out Sportmax, 16x8 wheel is a little over 16 lbs.

0 offset would probably work best and will not require adapters or spacers and also gives you a wider lip. The + offsets are more intended for front wheel drive cars.

Thanks for the suggestions. I was really set on old school wheels which is why I bought my Rewinds. I would love some Watanabes but thats way out of my price range. I also like the Panasports but cant afford them new. I found a used set of Advans on Ebay I really like. I might buy them. I would obviously need a 4-5 lug adapter but I think they are pretty neat. Down the road I could paint the centers the same color as my car....

those would fit perfectly, you could actually go quite a bit wider.
