About these wheels and tires.

I am planning on getting these wheels and tires in the next few months and want to know what everyone else thinks.

This should be the wheels

This is the size and color 17x70 +42 5-114.3 16 lbs Matt Black. Color should be tight on a red MP5. and the tires are here.

These are the tires Of course they will be 205/40/17

Let me know what you all think.

Umm...which ones.

I wanted to get the Typhoons, but the offset was too low. I hate our offsets!! They suck!

 

I'm looking at the FN01R-C

 

Those are nice It will be a tight fit with only a +42 but running tires that small it shouldn't rub.

 

I never really liked matte black.. But it's your car. I think the wheels are nice. With a shot of clear they'd be nicer.

 

damn, 14.5 lbs...

 

i just ordered those rims from discount 18'' bronze with 215/35/18 paradas.....$1675

 

Yes i agree. clear clear clear, woooooo

 

Jose....you are going to have a problem with those wheels.....even with the 205/40's as tires.....if you EVER decide you want to lower your car....and even if you don't...you will most likly RUB.....

you REALLY need a +45 at a minimum.

I want them as well. I think there is a better offset if you get them in 7.5 inch.

They are cast aluminum so they are light. Wonder how durable they are. Anyhow they are a good price.

If you had a sedan they would be ok. But because you have a MP5 don't do it.

 

**** man, i don't know what i was looking at before, when i checked it out a week ago or whenever the thread started it was in metric, so whatever conversion site i was at, that's what it spat out.

 

When I first looked them up on the website they had them. Then just a few weeks ago they changed it and now it say's they have the 17 x 8. I just called Rishie the other day and he said they have them, just not on the website. So I know I can get them, with a +48 offset I believe.

well Jose...if Rishie says he can get them...I would certainly believe him....and I bet he can get you a deal on them too!!

 

Here are pics of my 5zigens 17" on 205/40 and 42 offset, hyperblacks. There is no rubbing but the rear is cutting it close
