Hi Guys,  
I am looking for some 17x11 4x114.3 rims for my nissan 240sx…not sure of offset yet…

anyone know of any local custom rim companies?

or anyone know of a product that exists in the size that is a standard product?

Thanks  
Adam

Thats the only time I’ve ever seen that size for sale, except they are 5 lug. I hate to say it, unless you get a custom set made by that company in BC your not going to find much in 4-lug.

You will need custom… I dont think there are any rim makers in Ontario.  
Check JLine wheels, Work wheels, Kodiak wheels (in BC)… And call up speed shops that sell these 😉

You guys serious??? Ive been to several Time Attacks where there are many cars are rocking HRE and iforged wheels. All very serious track cars, from Porsches to even a Scion.

Ill be the first to agree they have become baller wheels but when they entered the market they were all performance.

Usually when you say that, you go from Porsches to even a (F360 Challenge, Zonda, etc… not Scion lol)  
On a side note, Kodiak’s pricing is downright fair. 500 ish bucks a pop for a custom race wheel is not bad at all. Especially compared to what the rest are charging. iforged didn’t have prices, or a website up for that matter, but HRE and Forgeline wanted around a G per wheel. Which is excessive… to put it mildly haha.

CCW complete custom wheel can probably make you a set of mesh classics for just under 2 grand usd.  
but maybe you can score some nice mustang race wheels if you look all over their forums.

even with a 285 out back on a 10" wheel you will have enough grip if you buy nice tires.

I work at fastwheels they have several 2 peice rims that can be made to any offset and bolt pattern, 11 inches wide is too wide for a 240 unless you have a custom rear axle, the wheel will stick way out the fender and look ridiculous. Best bet is to stagger with a 9" wide in back and a 7.5 in front.
