cheapest/best prices on wheels

[sofo259]

right now my 1st choice of wheel to get is the 5zigen FN01RC in bronze (gotta love it on a black car)

17x9 all around with +20 offset all around

discount has them for about 800 for the set w/o tires

where do you guys suggest buying wheels ? or who has the best price on these wheels ??

[babowc]

splparts has em for $204 ea.
shipping is rediculously cheap with them.

4x114.3? $209 per.

*edit*
I'd get it at discount.

[Lonnie D]

edgeracing.com has them posted at $205 a wheel but the do good bundle pricing with tires.

[Casey]

yeah i honestly might get some FN's but im gonna keep my z32 wheels for now :)

[Broke240]

Phase2motortrend.com has them for $195 per wheel.

be patient and buy them used. I see them on zilvia all the time. You'll save hundreds of dollars if you buy used.

most likely thats what i will do.. only time will tell..

it depends on shipping for the wheels if i buy them used, and by that time i might be 5 lug again, which i wanna be, and 5 lug wheels are much easier to find

I use edgeracing.com 2 times and ive been very happy.

I have FN's


ohh yall are gunna hate me..



OK so when i went over to discount, to get my tires rotated and balanced and shit a couple weeks ago, it was closing time, and this little kid was in a hurry and cocking attitudes about my car left and right, and he didnt wanna put blocks under it, and almost messed up my exhaust..

Anyways, well he got the tires off, and the started taking the wheel weights off, well, instead of using the mallet and the little plastic scraper to pry them off with, he gets the tool that you stick down in the tire to get it to set on the wheel right, and starts beating them off with that.. well i knew what he was doing was wrong, so when we got home, i looked at my wheels and every single one of them were surfaced scratched, (only been on the car for 5 months) and so the next day we went back over there and talked to Mike (ass. manager at the cumming store) and was like your employ scratched all my wheels and hes like, weel get you 4 new ones.. no worries.. and i was like thank you.. so today, we got the call that the new set was in, so we went over there to pick them up.. and i asked mike, what were they gunna do with the old wheels and he said recycle, use for scrap, and i was like.. how bout i just buy them back 100 bucks a piece? and he was like, OK.. so i got my old wheels back for 428.50 total, and the scratches can probably be buffed out, or put a filler in them, good as new.. and there hardly even noticable. man i good :)


So now i got 2 sets of FN's..

1 set on the car,

and other set, boxed up in the basement.

They will go on the RBproject, after being powder coated black with a red lip. :)

[sofo259]

you sure you dont wanna sell them to me ??? the cumming store.. im not too far from there..

[Cameron.]

i thought about it but even before i left the store with them, i decided i was gunna keep them, cause the black hatch will need wheels soon anyways.. they will look good, black and bronze yummy.. oh yea, and a 20mm spacer :)

sorry though

what offsets are they ? id like to get 2 8's and 2 9's.. they're 5 lug right ???

[RaNMaN]

I ordered my FN's from http://www.intensepower.com/ off of advice from a friend who had bought from them.

[babowc]

ya 5 lug.
i need to go check
9s are +43 (wow..)
8s are +25. (decent?)

[Cameron.]

+25 is a decent offset. i know +15 is like perfect, so +25 could be too bad.. maybe space it to 15
