Debating between the 16x7 14.5 lbs FN01RC vs the 17" SSR SG1 aprox. 22lbs

Heres the thing though, if it were for racing purposes only, I'd go with the lighter set. But I also want to enter my car at local car shows and also HIN shows when the project is done. I'm currently leaning toward the SG1 set, even though I'd have to put up with the initial D wannabe downfall but I love the look.

The question in my head is, how much will 8 lbs of difference affect overall performance.

Also thinking of getting both eventually. So, any thoughts/suggestions/alternatives? Thanks

SG1


FN01RC

 

FN01RC as far as looks goes.

 

Too new school for an FC, but I have weird taste.

 

FNO1RC, especially if it weighs that much less. 8 pounds does make a difference.

 

fn01r-c's are neither light nor bling.

get rpf-1's or something if you're worried about lightness.

if you're worried about bling, fn's are also not the way to go. they are ridiculously common, and have been since about 2003, to the point that they are commonly looked down upon by style minded 240sx owners.

 

not if u have the concave look on the Fn01RC, they rock dude!

 

hey you're free to like whatever you want. i got no problem with the styling on the fn flat or concave.

i'm just trying to help the op. and the truth of the matter is wheel ****** are not going to be impressed by a fn01r-c just because it has a concave face.

 

umms can't compare. 2 totally different breed of wheels.

That's my honest opinion.

Compare one piece to one piece and you'll be good.

i'd take Meister S1 over SP1 anyday.

i'd take RPF1 over FN01RC anyday.

Purely from manufacturing standpoints......

I'm getting so sick of looking at all black wheels.

 

Hey guys, Thanks for the inputs.. I really appreciate it.

I don't wanna go with the RF1's because, imo, it doesn't look all too aggressive.

I was however thinking about the Meister, but I heard it was pretty heavy.

Reason I wanna go black is, like Khan says, they look too modern for the car, black takes out most of the bling and leaves the aggressive look. I'm going for street style rather than show style.

I'm rethinking the Meister now that yall mention it. Again thanks for the comments =)

Also whats everyone's opinion on fake studs?

 

also, thoughts on these on a white fc?

 

I can't imagine the Meisters being heavier than SP1's.

Meisters are a true bred motorsports wheel. Just everything about the construction and lip architecture makes it soo much stronger than the SP1.

Those would look sweet on a white FC.

I have a set of Blacks on my white FC.

PM Me if you want to price out either the SSR or the Meister.
