which wheels to choose (now with pics)

[redline racer510]

I have a 90 black 240sx and was thinking about getting either gunmetal sportmax 962's or matte black FN01rc's thinking about getting 17's. I also have z32 brakes front and back and MR coilovers which do you recommend and what sizes and offsets will clear and still look good? Please if you dont know dont comment.http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y14/y11ngdanjr/24024gc.jpg

[s15meecrob]

is that even a comparison haha, zigens all the way

[5t341tH]

if you can, why even consider sportmaxes over the fn's

[Mr. Jesse]

fn's fn's fn's. All The Way!!!!!!!

[jbuckley]

go hyperblack fn`s dude what the fuck haha ..fn`s work on a budget atleast try to make them fit cool

18x9.5 + lowest offset rear with a 245/40 (17x10`s in teh lowest offset are cool too theyre the ones on the black fd i think)

17x9 front with a 215/40

then dump the fuck out of your car , tuck (hammer) wires into fender well and be done with it ..fuckin sportmax WTF

[mnguyen1125]

sportmax fail in my opnion get them Fn them shit are fire

[CrimsonRockett]

First of all, Sportmax wheels are gay.

Secondly, Megan coils are gay.

Thirdly, there's already a wheel fitment whore thread.

Last but not least, you fail at being able to search.

Have a nice day.

[redline racer510]

you know alot about things being gay dont you, you should question your sexuality before making stupids comments about peoples set-ups being gay!

[an_orange_s2k]

fn's ftw!!!!!!!

Umm...Yes I have to agree and come on 962s over FNs I think not

[kafanylovesme]

Err, they never made a 11j wheel in the fn. Anyways, this shouldn't even be a question man!! 5zigen of course

now i have a question.

why are you debating over FNs and Sportmax.

i expected this thread to be a bump from 2003 when i first saw it.

its 2008 ladies, this is the age of half decent wheels for no more than $200.

[nevaland9]

omg...lollipop

[az_240]

The 962's arent bad looking and are pretty cheap...

I even considered getting them just for a couple months or something...
since my 18s which have been discontinued got smashed from a curb accident.
I'm currently rockin 16s in the front.

I decided to save up more money and just get some rota p45r's

or Motegi Touge

I dont have money for baller rims and these are pretty nice lookin rims for being cheaper... I have some FD rims that weigh 14lbs each for the track:)

[redline racer510]

ok so i go with the 17x10 fn's matte black, what offset and what do i have to do to make them fit flush because i have z32 brake swap front and back and MR coilovers everything else is stock?

[ecuastyle84]

go with 17x9 +15 front and 17x10 +12 rear...bing, bam, boom, done!

[na3j nitsuj]

get them both if u can...

i like both wheels...

goodluck!

[proledoriat]

ok so i go with the 17x10 fn's matte black, what offset and what do i have to do to make them fit flush because i have z32 brake swap front and back and MR coilovers everything else is stock?

There is a wheel thread about that, and a offset faq, and I can go find 1,000 threads about that by just typing in z32 clearance.

Sportmax's are heavy as shit.
fn's are played out, but what isn't.

if your going to pick from those 2, get fn, and search some more.

please close this thread!

[ALEXTHESUS*PECT]

17x9 +15 17x10 +12

that true damn that car is fuckin hot i saw the one where it together what is the offset and rim size of them and fuckin how low(drop) is that i might wonna do that setup

[Mikey213]

ayuaddict is such a cutie pie over the years... ahahah he's right as long as they're not super staggered like ive seen on other s13s =0( and if u need the heavyness down there it's the best bang for the buck. But then again if u need to be super light go with the FNs it's all preference to what you are trying to do...

[Maiku240sxS14]

As played out as the FN's are I'd still vote for the Fn's over Sportmax

[KiLLeR2001]

I think you should get what you want and fuck what everyone else thinks.

[ByeByeSti]

Fn's For the win! no doubt

[sac]

I think you should get what you want and fuck what everyone else thinks.
^^i fuckin agree with this guy..i am runnin steelie 17"s right now.. they fit good, clear the brakes, and were $25 each.. sure they are heavy, but its a temp solution..

[EDacIouSX]

sport wacks look fucking gay... Fn's WAY WAY WAYWYAWYAWYAWY better. but if you are gonna spend on fn's might as well look at some other options like the 1 piece wheels gram light offers. 57 maxims and 57 optimize.

[NismoLmgt4]

personally the gunmetal sport max 962's looks pretty good in the pic you have posted. So my vote goes to Sportmax

[racepar1]

This is retarded! Why would you even consider sportmaxes if you can get fn01r-c's? Sportmaxes are heavy pieces of crap and fn's are reasonably light and of good quality, not to mention reasonably affordable.

[fliprayzin240sx]

How about none of the above?

I dont need to say anything else about the Sportsmaxes cuz everybody pretty much beat that dead horse. But for the FNs, only way I would rock FNs are run the 10j all around. Concave face FTMFW!!! The 9j shit can eat a fat cock...
Have fun fitting the 10Js upfront tho...

[racepar1]

I am perfectly happy with my 9's! Great track wheels. I don't know why people hate on FN's. They are great bang for the buck.
