which one should best suit my s13 fastback?

Well do you have a 5 lug S13? Cuz I am not sure about the 7 spoke gram lights, but I know the 57Cs come in 4x114.3.

Gram Light Pros look much better but umm showing me a pic of you car might help, color and all matters. But in the end its your decision and your money.

I prefer the 7 spoke design because they aren't common like the 5 spokes. Both are nice though.

57s are harder to get in decent 240sx type offset/size
they are limited in choices too
easy to get a 'ff' type wheel...ex. honda type

i like the 57s but the largest they make is 17x9.5

Tis true and they look so good. 17s would complement the car greatly and just between style and performance. You can have your cake and eat it also. The ultimate decision in looks would be the factor of your car color however.

These rims both come in 4x114.3. I'm only going 17's.
My car color is similar to bronze.
I do like them 57s's.

Dousan_PG · 08-03-2003, 04:58 PM

haha
then enjoy CRAP Offsets for 57s!!

17x7.5 +22 +30 +40
17x8.5 +40

that's it!
not sure on 57c but those are ugly

very ugly

57PRO is the way to go as far as 5 spoke

i got those numbesr off an ad i have for 57s, might have added more since..enjoy the LONG wait!

Jsquared · 08-03-2003, 06:42 PM

dousan, man, lighten up. 17x7.5" +22 or +30 isn't crappy offset, it's just psuedo-skinny wheel width. 57S are also BY FAR the cheapest-price wheels Volk makes and your buddies at Reflex can get them. heck i would have ordered 57S from them by now if I had the money. 57S is also available in 16x8 +30 and 17x8.5 +22 for 4-lug, by the way.

driftk2000 · 08-03-2003, 07:07 PM

I found some gold 57c's on EBAY, starting bid at $950 with tires.
I like the 57s more but wondering if i should spend the couple hundred dollars more to get what I like since I'm going broke.

Heartwork · 08-03-2003, 09:36 PM

57S actually do come in 17x9.5 et22, even come in et12...
i have a set coming in, which should be in here within a couple weeks. Been waiting about 2.5 months now for them

....
they also retail the same as teh 57C's, so it shouldnt cost you a pretty penny more, unless you are dealing with some fool..
