OK... so i really need to get my RB done, but i also want some new wheels, cause im getting tired of the ones i have now. and im thinking about trading a dude my SSR's for his Falken Hanabi's plus cash on his side..
or if i dont do that, i will go five lug and get MB Battles..
SO heres where the opinion comes into play.. which do you think...?
this...

They are 17x9 +20..
oh btw.. i havent forgot about fitment.. They will be fitted with minumum 25mm spacers..

or this... (I will be spending more money in the end for this... have to go 5 lug, buy the wheels, then the tires...)

if i went this route i would be going 18x9.5 +15
Im torn..
also The First Choice Gives You A Very Good Example Of What My Car Would Look Like Since The Kit I Have Is Similar And My Car Is Red..

Go 5 lug, Battles, and Im gonna buy your wheels! :)
Cameron.
09-18-2008, 08:22 PM
PS.. I know both are cheap wheels, these are just temporary good looks until i get my RB going.. and get some money later to do something else..

Ive always liked hanabis, and you dont see them very often since the sizes arent very baller. With spacers it would be OK but thats just preference.
Cameron.

thats too much money.. thats 600 for wheels 500 for tires, and 300 for 5 lug...

i never thought those falken wheels looked good but for some reason i like them on that car. i wonder where he got them in that offset.
i really like those falkens. thats my vote!

the Hatch in the garage is not the same as the one in the parking lot?

09-18-2008, 08:24 PM
damn, i like tha lip on tha first ones, but i would go 5 lug too and get tha battles if you can. might b more, but its well worth it
Cameron.
09-18-2008, 08:25 PM
yes it is.
damn, i like tha lip on tha first ones, but i would go 5 lug too and get tha battles if you can. might b more, but its well worth it
thanks. there really isnt a lip at all lol. i really want to go five lug and i have the money now, but id like to pocket some money also with trading.. instead of all the money i get for the SSR's going back in to wheels + tires..

dude. ever heard of spacers.... it is the same damn car.
I understand that, but the lip on that wheel is to wide for it to be the same car! find me a BETTER pic and prove me wrong.
Id actually like to be wrong :goodjob: i like that hatch lol

09-18-2008, 08:39 PM
are those falkens a knock off of anything? because it could start a war
Cameron.
09-18-2008, 08:41 PM
no.. its not. they have a 2 inch lip, he took a picture of the 2 inch lip, the part where you cant see is right where the spoke is. those are his only wheels at the moment, and if you look at the address for the picture its
http://www.matejblahut.com/photo/auto/part/hanabi0106.jpg
meaning they are the Hanabi's..
you just dont realize that hes got the front spaced out to -18 and the rear to -30... LOL and yea cale, i never really have either until i saw them on that car and i was like woah..
heres the damn link to his blogspot.

Cam what wheels would you be trading?
MOOREOFSTEPHEN
09-18-2008, 09:00 PM
Cam bro... I didn't even read anything... or hardly but if your choice is between the first set and second on the black s13. Your crazy... FOR SURE the second choice hands down with an oreo with milk to eat right now.
but 5 lug comes to play! its up to you if you want to spend some more$$$. If you have the money and don't have to worry about buying anything else right now. Go for it!! I'd love to buy them from you one day when your ready to sell. :) Just like your sweet kouki tails I NEVER GOT! haha jk love ya man... just telling ya what I think. GOODLucK

why not keep the ssr. finish your car. an it will look super sick. then go 5 lug with same wheels then get the battles. they you got drift wheels then baller wheels no matter what.
Cameron.
09-18-2008, 09:17 PM
cause the SSR's look like shit on my hatch. They only went with the coupe. they dont fit the look.

09-18-2008, 09:22 PM
when i was trying to find pictures of other hatches with the falkens i found a black one with the bronze colored ones. it was stock body and i really liked it too. does anyone know if they were the +20 ones? idk why the fuck i like those wheels
Cameron.
09-18-2008, 09:25 PM
i know which one your talking about.. its this one, and yes they are +20 ones.

in all of the red hatch pictures does he have spacers in all of them, idk if you guys have talked or not? sorry im askin so many questions just actually interested in a thread on here for once in a long time
Cameron.
09-18-2008, 09:36 PM
oh btw this pic right here http://www.matejblahut.com/photo/auto/part/hanabi0106.jpg
they are spaced out to -55...
he stacked a 50mm spacer and a 25mm spacer together.. the only reason he did that was because the pull on his fenders were for his other wheels which were wide as shit and had realllly low offsets. id prolly just put 25mm spacers on them and call it a day...

yes, all wheels have spacers on them. and yes we have talked were trying to work something out.
i think im going to get them, test fit my aero with them, and go from there on what size spacer ill need. i mean i think ill be fine with 25mm spacers all around, because my ssr's were 9Jx18 +24 with 25mm spacers and that was only -1 offset and heres how it looked...

i was reading that on zilvia. i would be scare to drive with so many spacers on. why not keep the ssr go 5 lug. then sell the ssr's an buy a 6 mb battles . hatches with battles look so fucking good
Cameron.
09-18-2008, 09:46 PM
cause if i trade ill get money on top to put toward my RB. and 5 lug was only an option if i was going to get the MB's. but -5 front and -10 rear will be plenty flush. i have 2 25mm spacers so ill just have to pick up some PBM 30mm ones.

quit tempting me. the falkens with proper fitment will look sick.. trust me. the battles were going to be temporary anyway, i was going to keep them for a while, sell them, then get some XD9's.
hell yea, im just going to do that. i used the wheel offset calculator and got this..
Old Wheel: 9.5in Wide +15
New Wheel: 9in Wide -5
Your new wheel will have the following chracteristics:
The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 26mm MORE
The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 14mm
__________________________________________________ _______
Old Wheel: 9.5in Wide +15
New Wheel: 9in Wide -10
Your new wheel will have the following chracteristics:
The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 31mm MORE
The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 19mm
SO.
The 9's spaced out to -5, -10 will stick out further than the 9.5's +15.
perfect, thats what im looking for.
Cliff Notes for offset retarded...
The falkens will stick out half an inch more than the Battles in the front, and 3/4 of an inch more in the rear.
if your unsure of how far the battles stick out in the first place refer to the pic of the Black Sil80, and just imagine.
hks4life
09-18-2008, 10:14 PM
well since you getting money, then go with the falkens. i would personally keep the SSR's, finish the rb. go five lug then trade someone for a nice set of 5 lug wheels. plus 5 lug is got so so so many options, sizes, ofsets. that yould probally find a sick as set of wheels
Jesse
09-18-2008, 10:14 PM
5 lug all the way.
Cameron.
09-18-2008, 10:33 PM
oh I know, trust me. i will most likely go 5 lug, but right now ill stick to 4x114.3 an 9x114.3.. plus we all know 9lug is where the Baller wheels are at..:toung:
i talked to him, and we came to an agreement of my wheels without tires for his wheels with the tires that are on them plus $200, hes had the wheels and tires for like 2 months.
they cost 220 each brand new.
http://www.matejblahut.com/photo/auto/part/hanabi0102.jpg
i think that is a good deal...

im going to finish it, but im geting rid of these wheels.. look. the wheels/tires are 3 months old. new they cost 220 each.
so lets say 880 for the wheels 350 for the tires and 200 dollars on top.
thats 1430 total value. i only want 1000 for my wheels.

yea! no actually i im looking into getting wok emotion cr kai's. but idk how itd look w/ the kit and all... yea i know id have to go 5 lug but o well. i think i know where i can get it for the LOW LOW. but wat you think about my idea kouki plus aggressive plus crs...?
Cameron.
09-18-2008, 11:45 PM
No. Only S13's can pull off aggressive aero and concave wheels. kouki's with aggressive aero either need TE37's or dished wheels.
TaiKneePony
09-18-2008, 11:50 PM
yea thats wat i was thinking. i just want something that i will be able to actually turn. ya know. like for grip driving and all...TE37s will work but idk about deep dish...
Cameron.
09-18-2008, 11:54 PM
Your not going to get te37's... face it there 3500 dollars...
theres nothing wrong with dish wheels my SSR's only weigh 25 lbs each thats less than shitty sportmax 962's
TaiKneePony
09-18-2008, 11:56 PM
im not worried about weight. only size but i guess if i have the right offset itd be fine.
