CCW Classics FTW.

If my 280Z project gets off the ground, these are what I want.

But I REALLY like the Fikse FM10.

http://www.fikse.com/yourcar/street52.jpg

If I go with either, it will be gunmetal spoke/polished lip.

[turbology]

hmmm.. no one seems care about weight

Ballerness > sizing > weight

[Cash]

Ballerness > sizing > weight

yes, but in most cases you can't have ballerness without good sizing. sizing is essentially part of ballerness. TE37's are baller but 15x7 +43 TE37's are not very baller. ...unless they're on an integra or something i guess.

Shit, my 240 ain't getting anything larger than 17's because that's all I need to run 6 pot brakes up front. :)

Very good way of looking at things :goodjob:

[turbology]

losing 5lbs on each whells are like losing 100lbs on the car.
you guys talk about removing AC, PS, carbets, seats to save weight
but missed out the most simple thing.

[JDori]

eh

i dont really like anything bigger than a 17 on a S13.....if its vip'd out then ya maybe 19.....but for s14 and s5 id rock 18 all day long son.

[The Bean]

The ballerness applied to the make and model of wheel...

For instance a Sportmax isn't baller no matter the sizing.

im getting sportmax...ballin

[badass240]

some of the sport max wheels are pretty nice, not the best of names, but they, but some look pretty sik

[hellfire]

Ballerness > sizing > weight

Exactly. If you have an 11in wheel in the back. Shits going to be heavy no matter what. Just make up for it with power. :)

Or removing unsprung weight. :)

[babowc]

most usually the expensive-er wheels like timeattacks and such are amazingly light.

do you have proof that 20lbs of unsprung = 100# of sprung weight?
lol.

but back to the point,
lets not get too serious about this, its just a 'fave rim' thread.
