Project AutoX domination!

Is this the 3/s you found though me?

[MustGoFaster]

Yes it is. It has quite a few new parts on it though, but it was a good deal and thank you for the hook up.

OK, I'm trying to decide on wheels. So far I'm looking for cheap(er) wheels, $1k tops (shipped) for a set. I'm looking at 17x9.5 or 17x10 sizes. I've got these two kind of picked out for price and resonable weight. The 17x10's will most likely need fender cutting and flares to fit, the 9.5's MIGHT fit with some minor rubbing.

5 Zigen FN01R-C 17x10 These would be just under $1k shipped, new.

Rota P45R 17x9.5 These would be about $750-800 shipped. Might require some spacers in the front to clear the brake calipers.

Other suggestions that come in these sizes and price range? Which ones do you like? Color? The Rota's I'm kind of up in the air on color, the 5Z's I like the silver more.

The 5Zs are super played out, but still waaaaaaaaaay better looking than the rotas imho.

I'll agree with the way played out deal, but for the price a great wheel.

I'm also going to make a note that these will be used for AutoX only and maybe a track day, as they will have my Kumho V710's mounted on them. In the future they might end up with normal tires, but for now the plan is for competition use.

I just found these, but the offset is a little off, I would have liked a +25 or 30.

Check out the used wheel selection at www.memoryfab.com

There might be something in your price range and in your size there.

Well, I have ordered a transfer case brace and parts to build a controller for the dual runner manifold. I also have some air filters picked out for my intake pipes, just need to order them with my gift card + a few $. I have also 90% decided on the FNO1R-C's. I found some 17x10.5's that I could get for about $650, but they weigh ~29lbs a piece. Stock my car has ~27lb rims, but the 5Z's are only about 21lbs, an upgrade and what I want/need at the same time. Only down side is the extra bones to buy them.

[JET]

How much of a price hit are the 5Z's?

[MustGoFaster]

They really aren't too bad, the original cheap place I found them they were $216 each + shipping. I found a place that is running a sale right now for $187 each+ shipping, I hope the sale goes long enough for me to round up the cash, I wasn't planning on buying them until a little later. The other rims I was looking at aren't that much cheaper now that I found a better price.

Really the only question is Titanium Bronze or Silver:
