RULOOKIN,

Both sets of wheels are 3 piece custom wheels, that you can basically have built to whatever bolt pattern, offset, size, width, and lip that you want. The down side is they are a bit pricey.

Depending on the size, expect to pay "at least " around $800 (each) or more for 19's and up.

Wheels, to me, pretty much make the car so i guess it depends on what people are willing to spend. Some might pass out at those prices, while others just save a little longer and get what they really want.

Fikse Profil 5S.



God knows what price, but like the other three-piece wheels that Exoticse posted, you can have them custom-made to fit like a glove. And damn do they look good on that NSX!

Boze makes any wheel that you want in any size. You are correct in that they range from $450-$500 per wheel. The last time I called them, basically the "Boze" wheels were $450 each. The "ZE Forged" were true 3 piece wheels and are priced at the $500 level.

Don't know if you'd consider used, but these are gorgeous and a steal at that price, which I'm sure is negotiable. Hell, I'd even help arrange getting these to you since he's somewhat local to me.

Actually that would be my first choice, buuuuuut they don't make them anymore. I was crushed when i found out.

Instead i think i will be going with these instead (look nearly identical to the HRE wheels),..i-forged classics !

If your bored with them, get something different. Every wheel I see here looks like variations of the same thing. Theyre all just 5 spokes with splits.

He said he wants something similar, to what he has, but better and with a deeper dish.

will do!,
if i find something resonable in the 450 to 500 a peice range, if i stay 18 inch i will get same offset as what i have now but realy trying to get a deeper dish on the rear if i need to go coil overs i do it, but i also do not want the wheels outer edge sticking out too much, the wheels i have on my rear now if alingment is set flat they stick out a bit with negitve 1 on the camber i think (strut) they look prefect .
fronts wont be an issue ordering its the rears that become a problem ! if i went 9 inch wide 18s on rear (with coilovers) what specs do i give the rim manufacturer to give me a good offset deep dish but not sticking out ?
I thought about 45 offset but i think it will stick out

Curly got the first set, and i almost purchased the second set but got outbid at the very end. I could have purchased them outright, but they were not my first choice in style so i just took a chance and it was not meant to be.

The HREs are all sold. However, there's several other options using the 5x100, 35, 57.1 bore.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymot...&hash=item5d302c14b0

And several more here:

You must make sure that the hub bore is the same as the Fiero.
