Just a little opinion question on a slow day at work…
Do you think FN’s have had their day?
Personally, I think they are still pretty hot. Assuming you get some decent offsets, every car I see them on just looks nice.
The best part is, in SoCal, these rims have been done to death. It seems that every site I go on now (and for the last little while) is full of guys unloading these rims. You can find almost any colour, any size and bolt pattern and any offset for your needs. In most cases you can find them with decent rubber too for far less than $1g usd shipped.
Assuming you have no issue with not being “cutting edge” with your rim selection, I think these are a good buy right now.
Those rims look damn good. The 179 front and concave 1710 rear look hot as hell. Don’t get the black with polished lip though. The lip is way to small to polished and it looks stupid with the polished center section.
Also, they aren’t played out in Canada. I have only seen one s13 rocking these wheels and they were only the 177 178 combo…ewww. These rims are a reasonable price and come in a good size and offset for 4 and 5 lug (179 4 lug is now available). Too bad we can’t get the concave look of the 1710s in 4 lug .
They are heavy, retardedly expensive and, although nice looking, they peform like shit on the track and have cracked under stress in numerous instances.
Those who are serious about performance don’t sport HREs.
And I agree with you Bing, the 57S would be awesome esp for those who are still 4lug.
