Recommendations on wheels?
I'm getting really frustrated trying to find a set of wheels to fit my requirements....
1. gunmetal
2. polished lip is a plus
3. lightweight - 17lbs is the max
4. 800 or less
5. 4x114.3 - this is the problem
6. 17"x7.0"
I found and ordered a set of buddy club p1s that fulfilled 1,3,4,5,6 and a set of lugs...well I found out that buddy club discontinued 4x114.3. So now I've got a set of lugs coming that hopefully will work with whatever rims I end up getting.
edit: first time I've ever felt it necessary to use a "mood" on here
double edit: the only thing I can find right now is these wheels recommended by regit. But I can't find a US dealer for them. Or one at all for that matter. But I can't find official weights or anything.

can i rccomend the OZ lancer wheels?
perfect replacement for stock wheels nearly the same specs as stock but only 15lbs!
they can be had for very cheap.
and you can paint them whatever color you want.
aside from that-... no polished lip (which were kinda trendy a few years ago).

added requirement number 6, I've already got a nearly new set of 17" tires to put on the new wheels, so they better be 17" wheels!
edit: hkc those are nice wheels but ouch! 400 each is going to blow the budget...

ordered wheels! I got kosei k1 ts in "gunmetal" but they call it light grey.
15 lbs, gunmetal, 17", two valve stems (nitrogen thing), just over 800.
btw, if you go looking for these apparently the best place to find them is tirerack. If you go there you'll need to tell the website you own a 1994 240sx.....

Damn I've always wanted to see them on a Tib. My mistake I forgot they make replicas of the Work CR-Kai. They are called Rota Torque, an Australian company.
Here's 17x7.5 4x114.3 for $150/wheel: http://www.imageinmotion.com/TORQUE1775-4114-45-.htm
Beauties. The actual ones are thicker and deeper but those don't fit ours.

hkc, been there, couldn't find what I wanted. Every time I tried to order any rota's they were out of stock everywhere. Wrong bolt pattern, wrong color, too heavy, etc.
The torques are over 18 lbs. I also liked the subzero's that are just under 17lbs.

aw. it's okay. at least you tried. i'm sure yours will look sweet. i actually had those very same rims but they sent me return labels because they sent the wrong rims:
Kyowa 228. I have the 210. they must all be a knockoff of something.

nice!
i like those especially @ 15lbs for a 17"!
as far as rota's wheels go-... google image rota wheels and you may be a little shocked at what you should find!
