Wheels for my NBP

adamhoud · 11-16-2006, 10:54 AM

So I am looking for all black, flat or gloss........I think I like flat a little better.
i found these:

Motegi Trak Lite's flat black, they go for around $280 a piece though, tires are no prob I can get hooked up real cheap for good ones.....
What do you think? Any other suggestions?

Track Lite's FTW.

Other wheels: FN01R-C, Black Racing Pro-N1

I have NHB also and if I went black on black, I'd go gloss. Just my opinion.

For black on black.. go gloss black for the rims..

GunMetal looks sick! That's what I have on my Black Si.

gloss > flat. Your black car isn't flat black so why should your rims not match?

**Cookstar** · 11-18-2006, 12:25 AM

Personally, I would get the Trak Lites in gunmetal, but I prefer gloss to flat black.

**Yodums** · 11-18-2006, 11:47 AM

Do those come in the 5x114.3 bolt pattern? They're a 4 bolt pattern according to those pictures.

I've never like flat black wheels on the 8th gens. I think they really only looked good on cars like an EG or EK. That's just my take.

adamhoud · 11-18-2006, 01:27 PM

Yeah they are the 5x114.3 bolt pattern as well.

trixnrice · 11-22-2006, 06:11 AM

yea get the black racing pro n-1. everybody got got 5zigen fn's. Black racing is a branch off of 5zigen neways. gloss black looks nice, polished lip or no lip. holla.

trixnrice · 11-22-2006, 06:12 AM

oh and motegi tracklites. yea, they are really really light wheels, but c'mon, u really wanna be rocking motegi's? forged or casted. still...motegi?

adamhoud · 11-23-2006, 04:12 AM

Ooooooooo I like,
http://www.edgeracing.com/wheel/2450/
$143 each is that pretty good?
Is it ok that its 17x7.5 instead of 17x7?

trixnrice · 11-23-2006, 06:04 AM

yea edgeracing...i dunno something sketchy about it...but yea dude, if u can get n1's for under 200 brand new, thats a snatch...
17x7.5 is better than 17x7, wider means more traction. With stock tires, 7.5 works perfectly (215/45/17). Handle it!
