Hmmmm... 13.5# for the 16" (first ones) or 16.5# for the second? Well, if you are looking for PERFORMANCE, the first is a better idea.

I Bought the battle wheels, They look awesome. 17" version, gunmetal.

The fronts are millimeters away from the shock/strut assembly, and they would require spacers if you dont want a scraped up wheel. The rears are fine, plenty of room.

Anyway, sweet wheels. I bought mine from Revolutionmotorsports.com, they have a great price on them right now.

SO what do you guys suggest? I want the best wheel performance wise to get the job done but the attacks look pretty good. hard choice........

 

hey, what is the right offset for the FC anyway?

And what is the widest rim/tire combo that can be fit out back, and in front....?

 

Correct offset is 40mm but I think it was mentioned 38mm looks really good too. With the stock front fenders widest tire you can fit in front I believe is 225. Not so sure about the rear, maybe 255?

 

yup, apparently 255 can be run in back

 

So what about 17x7.5 with a 45mm offset? Will it rub up front or what? I wanted to run 225/40/17s all around if possible.

 

225/40/17s are 2.4% too small, 225/45/17s are closer, at 1.2% too big...

 

This sucks. Im really bad at deciding these things. My situation is this- If I go with the Slipstreams, it'll be less expensive, tires will cost less, they're a lighter wheel, BUT the urge to go to the attack wheels will still be there. The cons of the attack wheel are-cost more, tires cost more and they weigh a little more. Im thinking go with the slip streams for now and in the future if I really wanna go with the attacks still then sell them and buy those.

 

Supermac 7 do you have pics of the wheels on your car because i was thinking of getting those wheels

 

Ni5mo180SX: Light = good = fast, just think, your car will be faster than it is right now!
And you can use the money you saved on tires and rims to pay for gas as you kick the *** of many more ricers!

 

Thanks Autocrash, just the type of advice I needed to hear lol. I need something to keep me a little more comp. (the 185/70/14's arent holding up well lol) And I cant wait to take down some of my old 240 friends

 

Did anyone have pics of the Slipstreams on a FC?

 

A 45 offset will rub. 40 or even 35 would be better.

Well I overlooked the small fact that the Attacks dont come in 4x114.3 in the 17 inch size so slipstreams it is indefinetly

 

Jaydm.com...15" Rota Slipstreams to your door..$445
16" $500 to your door...Go check them out...I will be making a purchase soon..I think i will run 15's with low profile tires..12 lbs..Light..I might look into another style..Maybe the attack..I like all the Rota line..

 

Get ready to kiss speedometer accuracy goodbye...

 

That site I was looking at and posted links too earlier (MachIII I think) has the same price.

 

I like the attacks as well...Id paint them black
