i notice that there are two types of the 5 spoke wheels. the c stands for cast i think... and the r is forged. im not sure about why they have two of the exact same. anyone with information on these wheels?

you said it the c is for cast and they are a lot cheaper then the "r" forged ones. other then that there is no difference (except weight)

 

the fn-o1r's are selling for under 1G for 16 inch w/tires package. i think the casts cost more.

 

the forged are on sale at wheelmax.com for 999 for 16's with tires... i don't know why the cast would be more $$$?

FN01R-C are $999 from wheelmax.com (with tires), they incorrectly show the FN01R in their pics.

FN01R-C = cast, reasonably priced.
FN01R = Forged, expensive.

I have FN01R-C by the way, 16x7 weighed in at 12.5lbs on my bathroom scale.

 

^^^ i thought so to but it says fno1r in the title of the rim... sooooo its ethier false advertising or they got the forged

 

yea cuz thats what i was wondering. forged rims that weigh so little shouldnt cost that much. thats why i said that the casts would cost more, because i know they couldnt go lower than around a G (say 600 with tires, cuz that would be stupid)

well if its false advertising shouldnt we take them up on the offer? i think theyd have to honor theyre ad if they show the r. if they send you the c you can show them the ad that you paid for rs and they have to give it to you.

 

actually that isbn't how advertising works they would most likely correct the problem keep the same price and say they'd give you a refund in which case you would have to pay to ship the wring rims back but it is unlikely that you would get the real r's inreturn. laws make it easy for business to correct thier "mistakes"

 

blaaaaaah, o well. the casts are still pretty light anyways. just need a grand...

 

btw chris93si how are the rims? strength, overall feel, how they look on ur hb...etc

 

The wheels are fantastic, not sure if I said it in my earlier post but I weighed them on my bathroom scale and they came out at 12.5lbs! Wheels have withstood a few potholes and I think they look fantastic.

A opportunity to show off my car? Yes I'll take it

 

here are a set of bronze 15' cast version

 

Nice wheels, though isn't you Spoon sticker in the wrong place? and get some non Blinging lugnuts, hehe.

they are nice...thats my information...
