I was going to order the ADVAN RG' in gold but is going to take like 14-16 weeks, should I wait for it? which other rims would you guys prefer? I want 16x 7.5, but 16 x 7 will be alright how about the Mugen MF10 to match my N1 damper
NO SPOON
Thanks

Mugen MF10s are the nicest-looking wheels for the R in my opinion. Get those if you have the $$.

 

if i were going high$ bronze, i'd be considering the mugens, the volk se37s, the te37s, or the advans. from what i've seen, if you want uniqueness, i've seen less (IRL and on the boards) se37s and advans...advans being the most rare. i love those wheels, i admit it.

they all look great though, so really, it'd be hard to go wrong...

-k-b0t, who throws in "how about bronze/gold regamasters?" huhu...

 

Advan RC typeII (5-spoke) lightweight rims. Probably have to source it from japan.

 

Got a pic of that Advan RC typeII (5-spoke) lightweight rims, does it look better and lighter than the RG?

Thanks

I originally was going to get the advan RGs. I waited and waited then cancelled. I ended up with te37s in bronze. I love them and have no complaints. In my opinion, they are the best "expensive" rims out there. As for mugens, I think they are ugly and overpriced relative to the te37s.

 

Whats wrong with SPOOONNNN???????

Get the MF10's..I used to have them...great wheels.

 

Mf-10s....... 26lbs (combined wheel/tire + air)

 

I"ll try to scan it tomorrow.

[edit] Advan RC looks similar to this Mugen Rim and they come in bronze... http://www.kingmotorsports.com/image...ude_wheels.jpg [/edit]

Endyn has some new forged rims with magnesium centers that you might want to check out.....

They're ugly - but light

Is it me, but those car copycats of old SpeedStarRacing (SSR) rims... oh well.

 

Heh, wouldn't be the first time they copied something...

Give me a call I can get them in 4-5 weeks

SSR competition
MF10
Volk SE37K
RH CP035 is sickening!

 

WOW! What tires are you using? They must be light... ~14 lbs. if I'm not mistaken.

 

Those aren't ENDYN wheels... Endyn is only selling them. They admitted in plain text on their site that they are made by another company.
And I quote[We're proud to introduce these super-lightweight racing wheels to the import market. They are available in custom widths and spacings for any applications.
They are produced by Keizer, makers of the world's best sprint car wheels.
We'll be putting them up in the components section along with specifications and prices shortly.
See attachment for picture.

Kosei, resonably light. 15.9 pounds for 17x7.5 +45 offset

 

wouldn't they be more then 26lbs?

correct me if i'm wrong but they weigh more then te-37's no?

thanx.

jason

 

No I weighed them on my bathroom scale - the same scale that says I weigh 220

Tires are Pirelli P7000Z 225/40-16s


[Modified by Big Phat R, 9:36 PM 8/2/2001]

 

MF-10s weigh slightly less than Volk TE-37s (if you believe what you read on the 'net, i've never weighed MF-10s, but my 16x7 TE-37s were 12.2 lbs.

I'm curious about what tires you're using as well, they must be light *****...I need to weigh a mounted wheel/tire of mine.

 

31lbs. is what my TE37 + Toyo T1-S combo weighs.

BigPhatR,

How much did you lower your car, it looks perfect! Looks like the OEM kit makes it look a little lower too. Very nice.
