I decided to go w/ the Falken Hanabi's.

I'm plannin on the 17x7.5 w/ the 42mm offset. They weigh 16.94lbs. But they also have a 17x9 w/20mm offset. Or .866" closer to the strut. They have no weight posted, so I guess low 20's. The reason I am considering the 9" wide wheels is because I want some wide tires, 245/40R17's. On the 7.5's, they will fit, but I am sure there will be some rollover. If I do the 9.0's, I could fit all the way up to about a 265 or so(I plan to eventually minitub the front and rear for a wider footprint). Or I could stagger now with the 9's in rear, and 7.5's front, and then later when funds are better to cut away the inner fenders, and replace suspension, I could just buy two rims instead of all 4 9"ers.

Also, they only offer the wheels in bronze or silver. I love the bronze look, but think they might clash with my paint. Sunburst Orange Metallic. Photoshop pleeeezzzze

2 questions

1. Will 17x9's fit on the front or rear with that offset?
2. Bronze or silver?

Thanks,
Ryan

I'd go with the silver

I'd go with the silver

Ummm...Bump...

Do you guys hate these wheels or what? Just a few opinions on color please.

I'm getting them cuz they're the lightest for my budget. I thought they were real nice, especially since you don't see that style anywhere.

I generally hate wheels that are this style (aka Integra wheels) but I've seen these on an Ion in 17" and they actually look nice.

no to a 9" wide wheel...you don't have the power to move a wheel that wide anyway.

go 17x7.5 in a silver wheel

Yes power isn't there right now. (Hopefully at 170crankhp:cry:) XTC Downpipe in the mail as we speak!!:twothumbs But I was gonna supercharge in the next 6 months or so. :cool: And in maybe 2 or 3 years, pull the engine apart and go for all forged internals, and major head work. :guns:

Kinda hoping tuning will be out within 6 months too. Pleeeeeaze HP Tuners Pleeeeeeaze :bow:

PS: I'm kinda smiley happy right now...:twothumbs :cool: :cssNET: :blah: :nuts:...If you can't tell.

I'm not a huge fan of those rims, but definitely go with the silver.

silver is the tits with sunburst orange i'm kinda on the fence about the rims though but if you like them get them in silver

Yeah...silver Ftw!
