Jozel Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 I just wanna share to everyone the wheels I finally obtained from a known JDM wheel manufacturer that can enhance the appearance of our venerable cars and make it even look meaner, due to the guys been asking for it's specs I'll post it here. Everybody knows that the Roh Snipers are already discontinued and hopefully this will help everyone whose looking for an off the shelf product that's inexpensive, has the right offset for the size has that nice deep dish and in four different colors,.. and it includes centercaps and valuestems!!! Silver, Matte black, Hyper Black, Broze( what I got). 17x9 +15 offset front - 225/45/17 tires 17X10 +12 offset rear - 255/40/17 tires or 275/40/17( much better) Believe me I was a nervous wreck after all the measurements I did double and triple checking coz when I finally placed the order theres no returns for it so I risked it and I finally beat the odds and was even giddier with this simple mod compared to my recent MPI setup,..remeber it's off the shelf !!! not those expensive customs,.. oh and they even have 18 inchers w/lots of diff offsets. 200.00 and 210.00 respectively I got it from www.240sxmotoring.com. The cheapest so far. Heres pics: http://www.26liter.us/gallery/albums/userp...s%20%284%29.JPG http://www.26liter.us/gallery/albums/userp...s%20%289%29.JPG http://www.26liter.us/gallery/albums/userp...y%20rollers.JPG http://www.26liter.us/gallery/albums/userp...1%20%288%29.JPG Sorry somehow I'm having a hard time posting pics ypu can also see my signature below.

HotrodTSi Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Nice choice Jozel...they look great. ;D i know what you mean by being nervous till you got them...I was the same way when I ordered my ROH's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jozel Posted May 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 I like yours too man and they're 18inchers I wish i knew before that it's possible so i could have done the same,.. anyway I forgot that the the rear still has room that i added a 5/16th spacer so it will be as close as possible to the fender.

SuperStario Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Those wheels are gangsta ....... would it be safe to say that those offsets will work with 18's I can only imagine the heat you get for that wing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustPaus_88TSi Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 The only reason 18's in the same offset wouldn't fit, is if you got the wrong sized tires(like adding overall circumferance etc..) And even then, it may not make much of a difference.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felginator Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Those wheels are bad I bet they would look killer in silver on my fiji blue cars. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heefner Posted June 1, 2005 Report Share Posted June 1, 2005 any idea what they weigh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jozel Posted June 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 any idea what they weigh? it's 19lbs fr and 20lbs rear as it says in boxe however look at the pics below with the tires mounted it's about 3 to 4lbs heavier respectively but considering it's bigger size I think it's ok. http://www.26liter.us/gallery/albums/userp...ghing%20fr1.JPGhttp://www.26liter.us/gallery/albums/userp...ghing%20fr2.JPGhttp://www.26liter.us/gallery/albums/userp...ghing%20rr1.JPGhttp://www.26liter.us/gallery/albums/userp...ghing%20rr2.JPG pardon the pics coz it might be a little off just tppk this weighing platform from the bathroom... hehe at least that's the ballpark.

Dcrasta Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Ok did you have to use spacers with your 9 inch fronts? full lock - lock no rubbing? Wow.. Did you 'have' to use spacers in the rear? Did you go with the 275 or 255 tire? Any chance of a non-spacer rear photo? Thanks. Looks sweet, I may have to get those in black or silver.

Jozel Posted June 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 no spacers in the front w/ no rubbing lock to lockgoto pepboys and get a 5/16th spacer for the rear most likely you'll be fine w/o it i just like mine closer to the wheelwell if it was a 0 offset it could have been great.i used 255 tires better if its 275. here's pics w/o spacers it already close enough http://www.26liter.us/gallery/albums/userp...1%20%284%29.JPG hope this helps,Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoFastBeater Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 They look good, but would look better with wider tires. As for the spoiler, I'll keep my mouth shut. :wink: To each his own. ADAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blk84quest Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 well wth more than 6k posts he's a walking encyclopedia :shock: :wink: don't go anywhere we need you joeCough post ***** Cough. j/k. Back on topic: Nice wheels i really like the fn10crstag7 or whatever lol retarded name but a nice wheel. Glad to hear they worked out as well and they look awesome. I've been looking at getting a set of 5Zigen Heidfeld's for my Talon one day, after it ceases to be a broke. which could very well be years from now.

Jozel Posted June 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 The Japs are really good on making wierd names hehe it's got Endless, Bride, Spoon, Skunk,Signal and something like Keio Office? i think... it totally does not sound like japanese but it sure is yummy!! I guess everyone can jump on this wheel now knowing it will fit ,...someone has to be the guinea pig first right? Dcrasta: You might not need to roll in the fenders it has ample space maybe if you opted for a 275 w/c I should have but there's not of that size in the tires I want.
