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

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....
