Sigh..... the OEM MP3 RH are so nice... its really a tough choice....... plus if i get the black racing pro N1s... then im down grading in some ways.... since i went from RACING HARTS to something less superior....

plus the RHs are not worth all that much..... so i'll have to ADD money to get something less superior..... does that make sense?

WHY DID YOU DOUBLE POST?

I'll work on a PS anyway because I wanted these rims for my old car.

You also realize that the only sizes that come in our lug pattern are 17x8 & 18x7.5! I think 17x8s are too wide to fit & I personally don't want to get 18s. Keep that in mind.

 

[INiTiAL33]

17" x 7.5" - 45mm Offset


wouldnt that fit?

Thanks for the PS btw.

well, if you do, i call dibs on buying your mp3 wheels... that is if you wanna sell them

 

[tonkabui]

d'oh, that's gonna rub according to rishie. if you want 7.5" rims, you gotta be at a +48 offset. it's 17x7 that's a +45 offset. good luck. let me know if you can find these in +48 for 7.5" width. if the price is in the ~$850-900 range with tires, i'm there... well, not yet, but yeah... you know what i mean. no money.

Show me where you see 17x7.5 for sale in a 5x114.3 lug pattern.

 

[rowan]

17x7.5 +45 mm is fine for the sedan.

The ProN1 definitely comes in that fitment, and used to even have a +48 mm option last year but it seems to have been removed from their list.

Just because it's not on a shop's inventory list does not mean it isn't made.

Here are the wheels specs straight from the ARW website. Just a question though, are you worried about wheels weight at all? The Black Racing Pro N1's weigh 21lbs a piece for the 17's.

That's great if you're ordering them from Japan, but since I doubt you are, I'd just like to see someone actually buy some when they aren't listed in our size.

 

[L8R]

keep yours! - chris

 

[INiTiAL33]

i just checked with the shop's website.

it comes in 17x7.5" at 45mm..... ( bolt pattern : 5/114.3 )

would that rub?


also comes in 17x7.5" at 48mm.... ( bolt pattern : 5/100 )

Dude, you can call Rishie yourself and he'll tell you that they are. Not only that, but I've seen the 5x114 in 17' at BozzSpeed here in our fellow city Fremont. So, yes they are avaiable.

why don't you powerder coat the OEM RH to a darker color if that's what you're looking for. I love these stock MP3 wheels. Only thing is mine are getting dinged up so I'll have to get them touched up soon.

 

[Kooldino]

MP3 rims all the way.

 

[INiTiAL33]

looks like im gonna lean towards powdercoating my OEM MP3 RHs! i just cant get myself to selling them........... they are just too nice to give up........
