i dont think it would look bad, maybe tomorrow evening ill play in photoshop and do a quick chop so you could see what it would look like

Please do! Would be greatly appreciated. Although, I really wish I could have gotten a set in matte black. Would have ordered them last night... (sad2)

bronze and yellow i don't think will look good but can't say i've seen it done before.

I've seen it before. Seen it look good & bad... lol

Like, 5Zigen is on back order for the matte black or just that shop you tried to order from? I'd hold out for matte black if you can, or check out some other wheels. I don't think bronze would swing with the yellow and carbon fiber...

Yes, the shop itself cannot order from 5zigen because 5zigen is out of fn01r-c in 17x8 +35, matte black. The shop has them in matte bronze, gloss black w/ red lip, & black w/ polished lip. So I could get anyone of those 3 finishes shipped to my house in a few days, most likely.

I think my only chance of getting those in matte black, is to find a shop that still had some original stock of them in house... But some shops have them priced much more expensive & charge more for shipping.

I would definitely just spend the money and have a shop bore them for me.

^I don't think it's even an option to do it yourself, to be quite honest. It needs to be machined to maintain proper geometry.

I like white on yellow, not really a matte black fan unless it is on a pre-1955 vehicle.

They don't come in white, unfortunately. White clashes with my CF, but it would still look good...

don't forget the speedsource rx-8, unless your just talkin wheels

 

[ucMP3]

I was pretty sold on going straight matte/satin black & CF on Yellow theme. Being out of stock of the matte black kinda threw a wrench in my plans...

 

[thejeans]

so buy one on the other colors then get em painted or powdercoated matte black...

or look for other wheels in matte black

PC'ing costs ~$50 a wheel. It's just $200 I'm trying not to spend...

And ya, I am. I scour other forums wheel fs threads every day, lol. Many wheels are just not offered in the size I want. And I'm upgrading to a lighter wheel, I'm not trading one 23lb wheel for another... Current stock 17x7 weighs 23lbs. Those 17x8 fn01c-r weigh 17lbs. Not gonna settle on wheels, you know? Just might be rolling these beat up stockers for longer than I want...

just be patient and don't rush into anything, even if it's a good deal....trust me....
you gotta stick with the black ones...those look so nice and will be totally worth it in the end..

Lol, always check hub bore, bolt pattern & offset before you buy.


I know what I want, it's just a matter of getting it. Unfortunately, I might have to pay more to get fn01r-c's in matte black. And it still depends if I can find a shop with them in stock. I've got other ideas in my head, for instance I'm still trying to contact a guy about some used Work VS-XX's. Would probably leave them polished/silver for now, if the guy will respond and/or ship them.

atleast its somthing that can be fixed buddy... yeah it sucks but it can be fixed and you can/will still have them on your car, just going to take a lil longer than you originally planned

It's easy/common for wheels to be machined out to fit a bigger hub. It's definitely no big deal.

So these are a lot cheaper than they typically are...

They'll sit about 13mm farther out than the 17x8 +35 I was originally considering... (boom08)

Hmm, those Enkei's are scary cheap. I wonder what the catch is...

I'm going to buy this amazing device to increase my horsepowa.

Throwing a hamster in your glove box would increase your horsepower..

 

[fishdonotbounce]

And they're sold out, so it must work!

I may have found a perfect replacement for the fn01r-c's. Actually these are even better; forged & weigh in @ 15 lbs!! Wish me luck, I'm buying these today if the guy doesn't flake out & they are what I am looking for.

nice, i drooled over a set for my 3 but after having my ms6's with tires for sale a very reasonable price with little interest i gave up selling them so i could snag the traklites....

I'm holding onto my Enkeiharts for my winters. I'm just waiting to hear back from him. Those are exactly what I want, lol. 17x8 +42, matte black, 15 lbs. check, check check. Just waiting to verify 5x114.3 bolt pattern and the hub bore (it should be either 72.6 or 70.6). Hopefully I hear back from him soon...
