richracing Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I am about to order a set "114.3 17x9.5 +0" and I'm pretty sure I will be the only person with these on an s30. What do you guys think? I'm not using flares, just pulled fenders, and I have ground controls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cockerstar Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Looking forward to seeing pics of them mounted up! Are these 4 lug wheels, or did you do a 5 lug conversion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5thgenluder Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Had te37's on my 350z. I'm interested to see this play out. I would love a set for my 240 but have been worried about fitment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erehemantresni Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I've seen the 4 lug in 17x9.5 12 offset or the 17x9 0 offset where did you find 17x9.5 0 offset? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S30 SPL Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Say no to fake knock off wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poundz9oh9 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Say no to fake knock off wheels. Yeah, because the real ones are always worth the cost ... As far as I'm concerned, if it looks good, fits good, performs well and suits your needs, do it! No need to spend thousands on wheels when there's a cheaper alternative. Especially if it's a street driven only car and you're not going to be pushing them to the limits of their capabilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if it's a street driven only car and you're not going to be pushing them to the limits of their capabilities. Buying a wheel that is not a blatant copy of an original product is the point. And yes, a real forged TE37 is worth the money. Potholes and daily driven cars often see much more abuse than those which run on smooth race tracks and berms instead of curbs.

Poundz9oh9 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Copy - Schmopy I'm sure the orignals are good sheet, but the chances of you damaging most wheels ("real" or not) are slim regardless. And if you DO happen to damage one, you have the money to replace it because you saved on the inital cost. Don't buy them just because you want to tell somebody you have the "real" wheels for the "wow" factor; makes us look like teenagers flaunting our latest Jordans. Buy your cheapies if that's what you want and spend what you saved on other mods. But to each their own. If you've got the extra desire and cash to dump the extra money .. by all means do it!

texis30O Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Most of the time when you buy a cheap knock off there are issues. Balance, finish are two that come to mind right off. Weight, hubcentric Fitment issues, metal quality..... I have split a nice set of enkei wheels back in the day driving down the freeway. I have spent money on a set of Ray's Engineering Lexion 203 for my Lexus and was never happier. Making statement that a wheel is a wheel is a wheel could be nothing further from the truth. Don't get me wrong I have thought about rotas time and time again. I just can't bring myself to have to spend money twice due to issues........ To each his own, I chose to get a nice set of wheels and call it a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
