hahahahhaah i have no idea what kinda rims racin-type and joel is talking about.. =/ besides the p1's..my buddy has them on his rsx.. anyways..i still think you should do a 5 lug conversion and buy ridiculously expensive rims

True - but reflex rims have been around for at least 10 years - the commodore drivers love them.
ROH have some other ok ones, most of them are "inspired" by jap rims like enkei and Rays. THey are cheap, look good but obviously are slightly heavy.
If you can get some 3 peice simmons rims you will get big street cred - well you would if you were here anyway
Simmons rims are awesome, almost every worked mazda rotary here has a set of 3 piece simmons on them
I dunno why, but I'm thinking that the Rota Subzero's would be pretty good rims, which is what I think I'll get. They're a copy of the Racing Hart CP-035, are lightweight at 16.5lbs for a 17" rim, can clear 300ZX calipers(I believe,) and for 550 for a set of 17s plus free shipping, you can't beat the price. A lot of the B13/14/15 guys have recommended Rota Wheels (the slipstream in particular,) so I figure why not use Rota wheels for our cars as well.

yea rota's are nice but what about the offset? seems like they only cater to honda's and acura's wit the high ass offset or am i stupid ?? someone help me out on which offset i should get wit 17 or 16 x 8's? thanks and oh whats the stock offset?
Joel, for these rims in specific on an S13, do you know if a +45 offset will work well on 7.5" wide rims?

REJOICE REJOICE i think i've found my rim, 5Zigen FN01R-C. Was looking at the NissanPerformanceMag.com project 240 and saw that they use this wheel but in a 5lug configuration. Then went straight to 5Zigen's website and found that they have a set specifically made for 4lug 240's. Sized 17x7/+35 in front and 17x8/+35 in rear, weighing in approximately 16lbs and 17lbs respectively. Average price is 200/wheel. what u guys think?
ummm my car is dark dark(or is that just dust) green. iono bout bronze on green car and not really into bronze all that much. was thinkin the matte black cause don't really like how that rim looks(spokes too thin) but like its specs.
for some reason i want chrome hehe too many drift vids from japan. u kno how they be having deep ass dish rims chromed the f*** out
good luck dude, i am having the same problem!! yes...VOLKS,BUDDY CLUBS,5-ZIGENS,and maybe even ADVAN wheels would be nice, but damn...who got the money for those big names? right now i just want my ride to look tight and perform! i think your like me, not everyone has the $ to drop RB's
and SR's in there ride and then do $ 5-10 grand on swap outs and up-grades! like 5-lug conv. and big brakes! i mean hell if i had the money you don't think i would have the baddest 240/silivia hybrid on the planet? anyway, good luck and take care!
