Anyone have any pictures? Opinions? Heres the rims [![](https://www.1010tires.com/images/wheels/falken_hanabi_brnz_lg.jpg) ](https://www.1010tires.com/images/wheels/falken_hanabi_brnz_lg.jpg) Let me know what u think about a set of 17x7.5’s in the front and 17x9 in the rear would look on a white S14 with coilovers… Thanks Adam ---

Let me be the first to say: Those rims remind me of pontiac grand am rims… I don’t know why but when I look at those rims Grand Am is the firs thing that comes to mind. Sorry to disapoint you dude but Im just giving you my honest opinion, then again that’s my opinion, everyone has different taste, personally I never was a big fan of slanted spokes. ---

Anything less would be uncivilized (plus the 17x7.5 +42 would look awful on an S chassis car). As for weight My 17x9’s came in at under 20lbs. something like 18-19lbs on my scale. ---

The Falken S14 has 18"s AFAIK Sasha has them in 17" and I think they look too small for the car. ---

imo it’s all about how you like the look of the design of the rim. what is weird to me is that they look directional but they are all pointing the same direction so on one side they will be pointing forward and on the other backward? other than that 17x9 +20 is a great size and offset. ---

Falken Hanabi’s are complete crap. The finish is such trash. They are “powder coated” but the paint scratches off so easily. I would stay away from hanabi’s just because of their uglyness, but they also are crappy quality. We just bought them cuz they were cheap, they are the worst possible rims one could buy. Next time I will just got with motegi or konig. ---

You can’t be talking about these Grand Am wheels. They look nothing like the Hanabis. I have 20"x11 +18 Hanabis and contrary to what Andrew says, they are the best wheel I have bought. ![http://www.lakeshorewheelandtire.com/wheels/6532.JPG](http://www.lakeshorewheelandtire.com/wheels/6532.JPG) ---
