16 inch wheel to fit 4x110

http://www.jdwheels.com/roh_reflex.htm

They say these do come in a 4x110, I emailed them a while ago and asked if they had anything 16 inch that would fit the 4x110 pattern. Of course they also wanted to sell the snypers to me as well. Take a look and let people know what you think.

Yeah I seen ROH on alot of cars from AU,ask them guys what do they think about them.

I now wheres there some 15 in Enkie webbed rims just sitting they need to be refinished cause the centers are gold.I might get them and sell them or just keep my 4x110 pattern and put them on.

I think if someone wanted rims for a 7 price shoudlnt matter to much.They already know how hard it is to find ruiims, its not like you can walk into any rim shop and get rims for 4x110 pattern.

http://panasport.com/

On that site you posted with the ROH go lookat the Konig rims,theres soem that look like pana sport for $90 a peice Its worth it.

about the same as the snypers last i checked. not abd price at at all.
and sorrow yes price matters to most 7 owners, even the nicest cars dont usually cost more than 3k, and its eaaaasy to spend half that on wheels on tires if you dont do your research, not that i wont have some pimpin kenesis k10's someday, but for now i can live with panasport fs

It was like spring when I emailed them, so it's been deleted. But they did tell me they had them for the 4x110 or maybe they ment they could get em.

Yeah those are both in 110, +20mm offset.

Last i knew, i was goign to order a set of the reflex, they had just sold their last pair, and werent re-ordering.

They DID, however, reorder the Snypers, which they told me to promote as much as possible. Give them a call, they may still ahve some left!!!

Ya, they've been sending me email to try to get me to buy them, they're nice rims but I think i finally decided to do a GSL-SE swap. IMO if you can find a spent SE it's worth the trouble to do the suspension swap, just for the brakes alone, then you have the added bonus of a better wheel selection.

OK I am confused, I have been told many time the snypers are NOT avaliable in the 4x110 bolt pattern, but are avaliable in the se's 4x114...
Has someone heard different?

I've only seen snypers on the 4x110 non SE's. I'm sure you can get them in a SE pattern, but I've only seen GS's and GSL's with the snypers. I can post pics if you guy want to see what they look like on different 7's.

I want the Adrenalines, but I dont think theyre in the right pattern (4x110). It sure would be cool as hell though if they were, or if I could get them custom drilled.

Good god! Those holes aren't aligned with the design of the wheel. That would drive me insane!

BTW, alot of companies will custom drill rims for you, you just have to ask. The hardest part is finding the right person to ask in the company.

I get tires almost wholesale cost,BUT yeah its hard to find 4x110 rims,Thats why I was going to ptu SE suspension on my FB,I got the front suspension still,but im thinking of using it in a drag car project.

I bought 16 in tires for my car over a year and half ago for $60. a peice Yokahama A520 you cant get them no where for that price I sold the tires and made my cash back plus more,There is no way in hell with the people I know im going to spend $1.k + on rims and tires.I got a guy here locally that gets rims with no holes drilled he can drill them and resleve them,the same way its from the factory.

you say you can get rims without the holes drilled and get them custom made? can you possibly hook a fellow rotary guy up? ive been looking at these and think they would look nice on my car in 16x7's on 215/50/16 tires. is there anyway you could atleast direct me to somewhere that can get them custom drilled? i figure i have to contact axis and get them to do it, which is probably going to be ALOT of extra money.

Go to http://www.aktiresusa.com/

They are here in Tampa,

They guy showed me liek 3 diffrent modles you can get drilled,The ONLY one I can remeber is the Spa



If you ave a 4 lug rim with a center cap they should be able to do them also,IF it had room for 4 more holes.

I cant remeber what he charges per rim,BUT if you bought the Spa from them he has to drill them out for you and I think it should be free,

Email them up and see what he says,then let us know.

FWIW, I love those rims - but they aren't even available in a 16" x 7" with a 4x114.3mm pattern... I was going to buy a set for my gf's 240SX for Xmas, placed the order with Wheelmax and everything, only to have them call back and let me know they couldn't even order the 114.3's from Axis. So I seriously doubt Axis will do a 110 pattern - they are pretty stuck on the 100mm only.

I think for the money, it's hard to beat an SE swap - 4x114.3 rims are SO common it isn't even funny. You can get great prices, too.

It's a tough decision , really. But if you want to run 16's, or get nutso, hike up the pants, and do 17's - it's a helluva lot easier to find good looking, unique rims in the more common 114.3 pattern.


And SoRRoW - price DOES matter. I didn't buy my 85 for anything except to go fast, cheaply. If Snypers for 4x110 pattern were 50 bucks each, I'd buy about 16. If they were 200 bucks each, I'd laugh my way to an SE conversion. I just need a strong, lightweight rim to fit the right tires I need for my project - and 13" stock plus rims aren't gonna cut it.

Most after market rims out there start at about $100. if thats to expensive for you then its the wrong mod for you.

A SE mod is the best thing you can do *if you can find the parts,Bigger brakes in the front,disc in the rear,LSD 4.07 gears.

I still have my front set up from SE I might ether use in my car and go pick up this SE rear and rebuild it,OR go and get these 15 in Enkie webbed rims and put them on with a GSL rear,and use my GS drums for another project.

At this point im kinda done fixing the FB untill I get my 10 AE home..
