fundmetal wheels

[walight01]

has anyone use fundmetal wheels? discount tire carrys them for pretty cheap. i bent one of my factory wheels the other day when i had a blowout so i'm in the need of some new ones.

i can get these in 18's or these

in 17's or 18's. should i get 4 18's and use one of my stock as a spare, or get 5 17's. the white is the only one that will come in a 17 and both come in 18's. they both have the exact offset suggested for the p5.

I believe they are called Fondmetal. I don't know anyone who has them, nor have I heard anything good about them.

They look heavy to me. A little on the cheap side too.

 

[Matthew]

yea thats what i was thinkin

 

[Matthew]

racing hart - real version (dicontinued, but you can still find them)

 

[walight01]

racing harts are also 5x the amount per wheel

 

[Matthew]

what are you smoking? the website i got that from listed them at 1250 with tires for 17"...and ive seen them around 1100 or so before for the set.

you want to make sure they fit. just because a tire shop says it fits doesn't mean it will. the offset for 7" wide rims will have to be +45mm if you want to be completely safe. a +42 will barely clear wearing 205 tires according to rishie. if it's 7.5", you'd want a +45 to run any type of tire and a +48 if you want 215.

 

[Matthew]

yea that too. i have 17x7 with +45 and i have no rubbing, but im so close

 

[tonkabui]

matthew, are you riding on 215's or 205's?

 

[Matthew]

215

 

[tonkabui]

cool, thanks. you're lowered on teins, right? any problems with heavier people?

 

[Matthew]

no probs, but i dont have people often in the back. ive had the car loaded with 4 people including myself, and no rubbing. but im very careful at that point. and yea, im lowered on teins.

 

[tonkabui]

sweet. thanks matt. +45 at 7" wide can ride on 215 tires. thanks dude. after my header, i'm getting rims again.

 

[Matthew]

again? you have teins also...?

 

[walight01]

they are 17X7 with a 42mm offset and the 18X7 with a 45mm offset. at www.discounttiredirect.com i can get the 17's for 60 and the 18's for 75. http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/findWheelSizesByBrand.do?step=sizes&index=9 http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/findWheelSizesByBrand.do?step=sizes&index=10

$60 per rim!! That alone should tell you they are not worth it! I would be weary of getting a set of rims and tires for less than $900- $1000 new. Quality is everything. You get what you pay for

 

[Matthew]

not to mention the offsets arent going to work.. the wheels will rub. and those rims are even cheaper than sears or pep boys, what does that tell you? not ripping, just trying to help ya out.

 

[walight01]

whats up with the offset, i thoght rishie said a 17X7 with a 205/40 needed 42mm offset?
