looking for interest in 4 lug wheels - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I found an awsome wheel online that I had never heard of before, but I want it so bad. Of course it only comes in 5 lug.

The mb motorsports weapon is the cheapest 17X9 with an awsome offset +17 wheel ever i think. It looks like a 57c I think its called. I want the wheel, so I was looking for every way to get 5 lug I could, but it would cost as much as a set of the wheels. 128 a wheel is the cost. Now some might be scared off by the size and offset, but from what I've seen, some guys have run these sizes with a ton of camber and rolled fenders, but thats it, so I'm down to get them.

Anyways, I emailed the company, and they said the only way to get the wheels made in 4 lug is to get enough interest in the wheel. If you are intersted, please email the company that i've been talking to

tell them that you want the wheel made in 4 lug and would be willing to purchase them if they were made. They said only showing a lot of demand for that lug pattern would be the only way it was going to be made.

how about some 4to5 spacers? I think I saw those somewhere but can't find the anymore.

raging panda · 01-25-2005, 12:29 PM

yea, but those are around 300ish a set from T3, I'd rather buy a wheel that fits without spacers anyways, and these you can't really use spacers on anyways with the +17 offset.

but really the price is what kills me, I can get a full set of these wheels for like 520 + shipping, I dont want to spent anymore if i can get them to fit my car by getting the right bolt pattern made.

do a search for a 1998 mustang cobra and you'll see em. you want good rims? go 5 lug. its really that simple. its a pain in the butt ONCE then its over and you have a bazillion wheels to choose from.,

bite the bullet like so many of us have/are.

Sil Beer S13 · 01-25-2005, 02:22 PM

I bit the bullet and have not looked back.

Those wheels seem cool....hmmmm.

raging panda · 01-25-2005, 05:03 PM

Ok, those who are intersted, please email and tell them that you are interested.

If I can get these into 4 lug, then I dont want to go 5 lug, but if this doesn't happen it just adds 500 dollars to the cost of my wheel/tire setup.

I very much doubt you will get this wheel company to make 4 lug wheels in that size. I'm sure when they say "if there's interest" it means if there's more than 10 or even 100 emails asking for 4 lug wheels. They won't make profit making a small batch of wheels. So your best bet is to probably go with some custom wheel like Bogart racing wheels that IvanatSpringRacing (I think) got.
