I’m looking to go for 17" rims in the spring for my S13 HB, problem is, I need/want to run 245s on the back (Wider next year but that’s a different story)… Anyway, I’ve still got the 4-lug hubs (and before you suggest it, I don’t want to do the 5-lug swap yet). Anyone know of some decent looking 17x8 or 17x9 rims with the 4x114.3 bolt pattern? So far all I’ve found were these: 5zigen FN01R-C [(shown here)](http://splparts.com/Parts/Universal/Exterior/Wheels/5zigen/FN01RC-TI.jpg) Falkien Hanabis [(shown here)](http://www.elitedubs.com/albums/album80/MVC_200F.sized.jpg) Anything else I’ve found in a 17" with a 4x114.3 was only 7" or 7.5". ---

i wish i hadnt gone 5 lug sometimes… there are hundreds and hundreds of 4 lug wheels to suit you, if you dont want to cheap out too much then you can always order custom stuff. or jsut get your money ready and hop on a deal on some interesting wheels on beay or one of the US forums. hanabi’s nad FN’s are sorta played unless you get FN’s in 10" +15 with buttloads of rake. try rbmotoring.

Thanks for the info bing. I know everyone and their brother have the Hanabis and the FN’s, but I really dig the FN’s (Sucker for a clean 5-spoke) and that’s the price range I’d like to stay in. I’ll probably run 10"s on the back next year since I want to step up the power, and subsequently the grip. Also, another reason I don’t want to spend scads on these rims, is my consideration of going 5-lug next year. (I know 4 vs 5 lug has been debated to death, but as has been said, they make rims in 5-lug, some come with a 4-lug version) ---

if i did things over again i would have saved the $600+ i spent to go 5 lug and just spent more on hotter 4 lug wheels. luckily going 5 lug is a bit cheaper these days ---

Definately an excellent source. Bing, you’re my hero. And I might be hitting you up for some suspension parts in the next month or two. ---

I think I saw them, 5 for $750? I wish I could jump on it, but I don’t have the money right now, this purchase won’t be for a month or two. ---

there are also work wheels, the XD9 and XT7’s come in low offset 4 lug patterns. and Fast Octanes come in 17X9, but +35 offset, and people use 15mm spacers. ---

there are shit loads of wheels that come in 4 lug. veilside wheels are often dual pattern, all the cheapo china wheels coming over come in 4 lug, Rota’s, Sportmax, then you have FN’s, the cast stuff from WORK, lots of meshies from SSR etc. etc. if you cant find neato 4 lug wheels you arent looking hard enough ---

FN’s in 4 lug only come in the two standard widths, 7.5" or 8.5" and only up to 17" iirc, anything else in 4 lug is custom order. ---
