Which wheels shud i get?

[rokkuchan]

Hey ppl,
I've been shopping for mags and I came down with two choices and they both cost the same... I'm too indecisive of which one to get so may as well get everyone's opinion hey?

Here's the pics... They were done on photoshop and the wheels are exactly the ones i want. They're both 17"x7.0" .

[sugapopcandy]

dun like either of them :P
go for work wheels doode :D

[nipnip]

buddyclub p1s in white or champagne gold

or grab a set of 5zigen FN01RC's in bronze :thumbsup:

[bubblecivic]

yeah neither dude lol

[Psyklops]

if it is between those two choices, I would go the wheels in the top pic

[TypeG]

yes
but not with 17X7

[FR33K]

why is everyone obsessed with p1's ??
he obviously doesnt want them otherwise it would have been one of the options.
i say white wheels all the way !!

[TypeG]

coz P1 is the cheapest option for japanese rims and for sale in local tyre shop

[rokkuchan]

Hey I like both and everyone's taste is different so yeah...

Saw the P1, i think they suck... I see them everywhere here on a lot of civics and gay mirages and stuff...

I like the first because...mmm just like it...

I like the second because it still resembles the stock wheels. I like the stock VTi-S but not big enough and Enkei don't provide them bigger. Did anyone know that the VTi-S wheels are light weight Enkei's??? well they are...

[Coupe]

the top picture

[spoon fit]

17" ???? y?

[TypeG]

then i think u are towrad show than JDM look so go for it the 1st pic

[toE]

out of the two, i'd go the 1st pic.
What brand/model are they anyways? For both the pics. :)

the top one is generic brand, it's one of BBS wheels replica, i think.

The white one is Diablo Racing.

[muli]

i reckon the bottom ones look like Vtis wheels

[petrovski]

I like both the pics!

rokkuchan - Where did you here that about the VTI-S wheels being lightweight enkeis? :eek:

rokkuchan - Where did you here that about the VTI-S wheels being lightweight enkeis? :eek:

Pete :)

I didn't hear from anyone. Saw it with my own eyes...

I took off the wheels and inside it had "ENKEI" embossed on it? is that the right word? So yeah, they're original enkei's mags with Honda center caps. :)

So the VTi-S mags are pretty expensive...

[A'PEXi]

lol u ppl need to get over p1's :P....

now out of your two options that you posted i think the diablo's stand out more, where as the mesh style blends in a bit more and suits the car, eitherway i think they will look good on the car slammed :)

[rokkuchan]

Hey, i know it's out of topic but with the pics i posted, i've edited to look a few millimetre lower from the picture, the actual car is a bit higher than that. Is it possible to lower it that much like in the pictures?? Cuz it looks sik! ...

I got my springs custom made from IndustrialSprings (adelaide) and they said that if I compress my springs any lower, the guy mention something about the 'strut' will become lose in the front suspension and the spring might become lose or something in the rear suspension and may displace itself over a bump? Is it true??

The springs are heavy duty and rock solid hard...

I'm actually very happy with my front but my rear looks a bit higher than the front and doesn't look good enough i think. I'm a bit scared to get those guys to reheat the springs and compress them...

what do u guys think? especially the DIY guys and tech guys..

Thanks.
Rokku

[DavidLing]

I like the white one (picture 2).

Hey, u can think about a black wheel, so that make the car in all black, i think it look cool, just like a batman car!! ha ha!

If u put on white wheels, it look like a panda!! ha ha, it is cute, i like it!!~

[TypeG]

install springs without aftermarket shockers will always damage yr oem shocker
not worth especially u are using CUSTOM springs which is not produce from a brand factory

[rokkuchan]

How safe is it to chop the springs? Can heavy duty springs be chopped???

[tanghy]

very unsafe..
do not take my suggestion into consideratoin, it was meant to be a jopke

[petrovski]

you prob need an air bag kit or air suspension (i dunno what you call it)

i saw one for 315000 yen somwhere i think

actually a Honda lover

[iceblueVTEC]

:wave: Just on the subject of wheels I have a set of 17x7 ROH SHIFT R's on my honda Jazz vti-s. Anyway while they look good and all if I have passengers in the back the tyres do scrub in the back,thanks mainly to honda's poor designing of the back bumper. If you look or feel under the back bumper just where it joins up with the guards there is an inner lip where the the back bumper screws in. Safest option foor wheels on a jazz would be 16x6.5 wheels,this way you can lower it safely and trouble free.Dammit they only just rub too by like a 1 or 2mm's.

I use to have 18" 1000miglias. It did scrub until I rolled my guards and it didn't scrub after that. Just for your information. But i guess some people don't like rolling the guards?

man
duno put 17 on a jazz
16 is more than enough after lower yr car

[joneblaze]

1st option...those mesh wheels look great and blend into the car well.
Agree with the "get over P1's" comments... they're becoming extremely played out. It's like they're the only "JDM y0" rim half these fools are familiar with.
IMO those BBS replicas look quite "JDM". If not, they certainly look mean and lean! :)

LOL@Tanghy..that's more effort than I've ever seen from you...so many posts...wah! ;)

Hey does anyone know where I could buy something similar to these mags? Deep dish ones and either 15 or 16" x >=7.5" ?
I don't mind them

Anyone know can buy online? for around $1300-1400 with tyres? That's how much i was gonna spend with the ones i want for the 17"s...that's the online price.

[TypeG]

$1400? i dun think u can get that cheap even without tyres,,,,,,

[tanghy]

typeG he fat mong

[petrovski]

there are some sorta deep dish lightweight ones you can get from tempe tyres when i went there.

i'll try find a link

edit: not really as deep dish as i thought but here it is anyway
LINK (http://www.tempetyres.com.au/products_closeup.asp?part=Ultra+Light&part_no=261)

Pete :)

[muli]

i went to a few wheel shops on the weekend and most deep dish mags are european, not sure why but most shops that had deep dish wheels were all european and even for 15" i was looking at over $2400 with tyres :( from the cheapest end anywhere to $4000

[tanghy]

dish does not rhyme with cheap

[muli]

dish does not rhyme with cheap

and not when they are european made

[rokkuchan]

Hey, I was wondering, if someone in Sydney or Melbourne would go shopping for mags for me? Well I was thinking I'll pay someone say 100buks and get u to buy the mags/tyres package i want and send it to me thru TNT service or something? Of course I would have to give u the money first...

the wheels i want here in Adelaide are like 200% more expensive than in Sydney like BigOTyres? and also TempeTyres... Adelaide not much wheel shops...

But here's what I'm after. >> Look for Lenso VE here (http://www.lensowheel.com/product_pass.htm)

I really like those Lenso VE light weights. They're white and 16x7 ...

When it's time to buy, would there be someone interested to go shopping for me??

[TypeG]

look good man
copy of VOLK is it?
i dun mind asking for u since i know a place sell rims and tyres very cheap

[Oldman]

If you like big wheels. You should try Donnellans in Melb. Buddy Club P1 Racing SF 17x7 with Falken tyres.$1900 + $80 shipping. This wheel weight 17.5 lbs.
For your info P1 Racing SF is made in Taiwan and not Japan.

They are mainly for rear wheel drive cars.

[rokkuchan]

Copy of VOLK? I thought Lenso make their own stuff and an alright brand?
But thanks if you can ask for me. :) I asked shops here in Adelaide, cost about $2300-$2400 even with crappy tyres like nankang or hancook...

My friend got a set of Lenso RS5 16"x7"w/lowprof tyres for like $1500 in Sydney... here cost like >$2k...

As for 'Old Man' hehe, I don't really like the P1 but I do like the P1 II but they only come in 5 studs and no less than 17" right?

[TypeG]

take a look of VOLK rims yrself
it looks really the same... maybe a bit different..
i will ask for u when i pass by
what tyres u prefer?

[rokkuchan]

I prefer any tyres except NanKang or Hankooks, but not too far to the Pirelli range etc... not too expensive, not too cheap either...

thanks heaps.

[jackosimm]

go for the white diablo's(i think there called?) look heaps nice on the black mate!

[iceblueVTEC]

I use to have 18" 1000miglias. It did scrub until I rolled my guards and it didn't scrub after that. Just for your information. But i guess some people don't like rolling the guards?
yes I had the guards rolled the day I had the wheels fitted,you see the problem is you cant roll a plastic bumper can you.Do you carry passengers in the back often?because they only rub when I have passengers in the back.If your Jazz is the same specs as mine and has the same rear guard set up its pretty much impossible that 18" wheels dont rub.

[TypeG]

yr car still can move with 18'?
lol

[iceblueVTEC]

yr car still can move with 18'?
lol
Not arguing just stating the facts dude,well if you really thought it was worth it you could get the agle grinder on it, or modify it,or just let them rub untill it reaches the screw and shreds or blows a tyre or even rips your back bumper off.
lol.

[Jus-10]

I run 16x7s with 195/45s and the car is pretty much slammed and it doesn't scrub a bit. I haven't rolled the guards or anything either...

[edw-R]

Try CE28N 17" Forged wheel.

if it is not really made in japan, lol it will be funny

Yeah i get passengers in the back often but I also had the plastic grinded off, so no scrubbing.
