I couldn't find them anywhere in black, so I ordered the Konig Blatants in Carbon finish. Well, they got here today, and they were SILVER! Grr. So they are on the way back and I finally found these. Got the from wheelwarehouse.com. Had to pay $1499 for them w/ tires and S&H, but they are the ones I wanted.

Should be here in 7-9 days. I am gonna order the Arospeed carbon fiber racing wing in the next day or so. When I get the new tranny in, and these and the wing on, I will post pics, should look sweet.

That is the same rims I wanted but I wanted to go with 18's and silver. I wanna see some pics.

Those should look pretty nice. They do look mighty heavy though. How much do they weigh? Wish I had $1500 to spend on some wheels. I'd buy some Volks and use my factory rubber. All NC needs now is suspension.

 

[wheelguruuu]

that sounds lik a lot of money for those wheels. what tires are you getting? For 17x7 you could have bought at a much better price than that. I know because we carry them! FYI I posted on your other question about tire size! Oh what it sounds like to me is that the guy at the tire shop just had a set of 225/45/17 tires lying around and decided to use them on your car! and If he did put them on an MP3 then who's was it? ask him 4 pics!

but thats just what I think!

NC, must I repeat that you should have a little more patience and contact us.

ADR, distributed by Golden Apple is right down the street from us. We could have shipped that s*** out today and you could have paid through paypal.

You just keep getting jacked because of your impulsiveness. With the amount of money you spend, you should be able to get better deals.

Anyways, what would you say if I said, I'd have them to you by Tuesday and save you $50.00.

Can you cancel your order? Do it. I'll pick them up today. I'm getting the exact same rim today for one of my Celica GT-S sales guys.

The Kasai is the lightest wheel that ADR makes, and will proabably weigh around 19lbs. I run these for show on my RX-7. 18,8 and 18,9 in silver.

 

[ARD MP5]

The deal on this wheel with tires in 17" can be done for so much less than what you paid. I just made the estimate.

Probably could have saved you $50.00-$100.00. You are getting 17's or 18's.

What offset are they getting you? They make a great fitment, but just want to make sure for ya.

Rishie

You want, I'll pick them up today.

 

[katsmp3]

then what do you suggest

 

[NC_MP3]

ARD, are you sure you can get them and have them shipped out tomorrow? If so I can try and cancel my order. I ordered the 17x7. You are the expert, so whatever size tire you think will work. Do they come w/ tires? If so what brands do you carry? Mounted and balanced? Lugnuts? Let me know.

 

[NC_MP3]

One more thing, are they really that color? I want that color, but ADR's website has HMC Black as a lighter black, almost silver. Got that pic from speedoptions.

 

[kep0ne]

theres lots of rims to choose from. as for weight and performance...i cant help you there...but for looks id choose fromt he following

g-racing kirin
konig flatline
tenzo rs-5 or mean-6
oz superleggera or chrono evolution

personally id go for the superleggeras...they look phat.

 

[ARD MP5]

Holy s*** you did get the 17's. Dude not only that but I'll save you some money too. You can even pay via paypal if you want.

Tell me what tire you ordered in that set. I can get any. The easiest to get are the Toyo, Kumho, Falken, Nitto, and the others that are expensive.

I need to know tire size as well. That's on you. It is a great fitment 17,7 +48. I would suggest a 215/40 or a 225/40 in Nitto.

Call me before 11:00 PST, not before 9:00 PST though. hehe. I'll be in the office til then and them I'm picking up rims and tires and moving crap to our new facility in San Jose.

My phone number is 408-262-2359office, after 11:00 call cell 408-799-6723. Golden Apple is only 20mins away and they said that they're in stock. I'll check again tommorrow.

As for color, it is BLACK but like a black CHROME. Kinda neat. It is not Silver, just shiny. Kinda blingy. Absolutely not satin or flat like the Blatants. They are like a black tinted chrome. The only way I can describe it.

I think they'll look real good with the yellow P5. They're AdVAN knockoffs nonetheless.

Thanks, hope to finally talk to ya,

Rishie

Your price is around $1350.00 shipped with all the hardware. Mounted and balanced. That's shipped 3 day air FEDEX.

Thanks, Rishie

 

[NC_MP3]

What about payment? I used a Discover card, but I am afraid if I use it for you it will not go through. I have $1300 on it from discount tire direct, that doesn't come off of there until they get the Konigs back, which haven't even been picked up yet. I am sure wheelwarehouse has already charged my card, which probably won't be taken off as soon as I cancel.

I don't have a paypal account. Thats a good price, and the 3 day shipping is great, but I just don't think I will be able to do it with all that on the credit card.

Let me know what you think.

 

[PaulMP3]

Discoun tire direct has really good customer servie. i bought my snow tires from them and they sent me the wrong one the fed ex guy was there the next day to pick em up then 3 days later i got my new ones. call customer service Im sure they will take care of u as long as they didnt send the new ones yet.

 

[APEXistud]

What kind of tires are you getting? Toyo, Dunlop, Brigdestone?

 

[ARD MP5]

Alright, I'm gonna help you out anyways. Have them call me at work 408-947-0505. Someone will be in at 10:00 AM PST. Either me or wheelguuru, Sean. He'll have your estimate too.

Tell them that I am selling them to you for this price and that they should match it otherwise you'll cancel. If they don't match it then just cancel the damn thing and save yourself some money. That's gotta add up to another little part for your car. IMO.

However, please confirm that paypal accepts discover and setup an account cause you should. It doesn't cost anything.

I'll help anyway I can, just to get some of your confidence as our company should have an opportunity to hook you up so you can hook us up with some publicity out there in the east. I mean you got a great project going, let us help finish it.

Did you get the AFC yet?

Thanks,
Rishie
