I kind of thought the black ones would look good for sure, thanks for the picture!

How much drop do the spring springs give? That looks really low, lower than Tein S.Techs even.

The lip and sides are really bringing the car together marky, nice work...

now space out those wheels :D

2" drop all around. i think thats the lowest drop u can get with springs on a 8

thanks! in fact i just ordered some spacers so the wheels sit better with the fenders

I put got a good deal for a set of Bronze off off a friend of mine. Therears are 17X9 with a +35 Offset. I have a 255 tire on the back. I think it is about where i would like it as far as stance goes.





I will also try to get soem better pics up of the car. This is just what i had on the computer at the time.

^^Looks tuff Phish. I just got the same rims w/ 245/45 RE-O1R's all around on my Nordic Green. At first i wanted black but the bronze/green color scheme is really growin on me. Got mine from an Evo owner i know for $675 What kind of a deal did you get?

I always wanted to try the bronze wheels on my car and these kinda fell into my lap. A friend of mine had a gutted MR2 that he bought these wheels for. He ran the fronts and never mouted up the backs cuz he always had slicks on the car. The front wheels went 10.09 @142. haha I always give him **** for not gettin into the 9's. however, the fronts only had 200 miles on them when he parted the car out after cracking two blocks. Long story short i got the full set of wheels for $600. Granted the fronts are 17X7 +35 but i managed to find a 235 that worked on the front and did not look to bad. It was just to good of a deal to pass up. . . Then i ended up spendin $150 on lugs cuz i am **** and have to have things match up.

To add to this. Another friend of mine had these wheels in black with a chrome lip that he was selling. He let me put them on my car for a test fit. The black and chrome did not look good at all in my opinion. I am extremely happy with these. Just need to do something about that wheel gap of mine.

^Oh yea i didnt even catch that you were runnin 17x7's up front. You gotta try to find some 17x9's to match the rears. They look so meaty up front man. But good deal either way, cant pass that up. I was actually lookin at the matte black ones, not the polished lip ones, i agree that those wouldnt look very good on the NG.

Ok so i photo shopped some bronze 5 zigen FN01R-C bronze wheels onto my Titanium Grey.

I resized the picture so it would hide my really really bad photo shop skills.

What do you guys think of bronze on Titanium Grey? I really like it... Big question is should i order a set??

^I think they look pretty good, If you do decide to get a set let me know, I can get them to you for a good price. Just send me a PM whenever you decide.

^^ Those ProRacer GN+ look great on your ride. I wonder how they would look on a SS. I think Ti-Gray 8's have more wheels options than my Silver.

I will be posting here soon...waiting on the ProRacer ZR+520's to get here. Gunmetal. Topgear helped me out...I took a giant leap of faith on these so hopefully they look right.

18x9.5 +37 Rear w/ 265/35/18's and 18x8.5 +30 Front w/ 245/40/18's.

Tires came in and I can literally fit my old wheels inside of the 265's. It's gonna be fantastic.

Is there a benefit to going to 17's instead of 18's? Other than being lighter?

^Lower gear ratio, cheaper tires.

very quick question. I research the fn01r and see many different styles of it. mainly, some look awesome as in they are very concave and the "curve" is very noticeable. I love that. but other fn01rs I see look completely flat. some post earlier stated that a more aggressive offset creates the "curve" look, which is what I want.

So does anyone know of the most "curvacious" fn01r for size 18? If not, is the only way to get that awesome look by going down to 17 inch rims and a 25 offset?

I will continue my research, but easy answers are always appreciated.
