I have always liked 5-spoke for an FC, Mesh for an FD

It's wheels, not rims. One of my biggest pet peeves. But yes, those WHEELS are very nice.

Deep dish 5 spokes.

if you look at the new rx8 wheels and compare them to the furi wheels they look a lot alike.

While I prefer the term wheel also...the term Rim by definition is also correct.

rim (rĭm) Pronunciation Key
n.
1) The usually curved or circular border or edge of an object.
2) The circular outer part of a wheel, furthest from the axle.
3) A circular metal structure around which a wheel tire is fitted.

Congrats. 1 out of the 3 defintion's are "correct". That fails in my eyes, wheel is the much more preferred term. Rim can also have many other meanings that's not even in the automotive world. Rim of the hoop in basketball for one example.


Look on tirerack.com, let me know if you notice any indication or example of "rim" or "rims".

I love pop-up lights 01-19-09 07:19 PM

I like high strength low weight wheels.

moncherx 01-19-09 09:18 PM

I think mesh wheels look nice on all rx7's

SAMIboarder 01-19-09 09:26 PM

daaaaaaamn furai, where'd you confiscate them rims?

moncherx 01-19-09 09:35 PM

I found them on my local classifieds for cheap.

-CON- 01-19-09 09:39 PM

Those are nice!!

moncherx 01-19-09 09:55 PM

they are front 19x8.5 with 245-35-19 and rear 19x9.5 with 275-40-19.

When it's something as simple as the correct term for something, yes I do have issues. By the way, I hate the words 'bling bling' and 'hella'.

geshunteid.... :lol:

-CON- 01-22-09 01:39 AM

Did any car in RX7s class including RX7 came out with magnesium wheels from the factory ??

Mutaku 01-22-09 02:56 AM

Ottoman 01-22-09 03:35 AM

work vs-xx FTW /thread

Miata_mx5 01-22-09 01:34 PM

The VS-XX is definitely a nice wheel. I think VS-KFs in Burning black are a little more exclusive though ;)

(It definitely takes a special kind of owner to run those).

That's the problem for the GT-R. Work Meister S1 2 piece or VS-KF in burning black. It would be no question if the VS-KFs came in a 17 (which is discontinued), and now only come in 18s. I was hoping to do 17s (Meister) and go lower instead. I will know on friday once i measure up the car, what fits.

Definitely agree, the vs-xx are played out, but for obvious reasons. I LOVE the vs-kf wheels, but have never seen a car that was able to pull them off.

The meister wheels are beautiful too, similar to the ssr's, very popular with the 350z crowd.

Miata_mx5 01-22-09 01:42 PM

You may see one soon ;)

If i do meisters, i am guaranteed going to take advantage of work's custom order program.

They can paint the disks in any color.

1st.... We need to ban -CON- He annoys the hell out of me.

2nd.... I like to believe this... the rim is the metal center piece. The tire is the rubber surounding the rim. And the WHEEL is the whole thing... tire and rim.
Sounds good to me. :)

3rd.... I think the best RIM in the world are the Volk CE28's! Not in that color though. GROSS.

NoPistons! 01-26-09 12:59 PM

Volk TE37's, dished Takata green.
Work VS-kF's
Fabulous profounds
Work equips
Rota p45r's
10" wide dished 5 zigen fnorc's
5 zigen copse. I wish they still made these. I love the copse!

I could go on for days.

Id suck several dix for a set of vs-kf's. 18x10 rears, 18x9 fronts. lips poking out of the fenders a 1/4" or so with the tires tucked inside the fenders...... MMMMMM.

Monkman33 01-27-09 02:56 AM

they're called WHEELS!!!!!!!!

the rim... is just that... the fucking rim.



EDIT- I wonder if those furai wheels are designed to pull air into the brake rotor for cooling?
