Why are 15"-16" bronze wheels so hard to find in our size?

[deevergote]

I'm not putting my Falken Hanabis back on... they're just too big and wide for my taste anymore. Unfortunately, the 15" model only comes in 4x100! Same with the 15" Konig Helium, another of my choices.

I want something different. I don't really want Rotas. I don't want a set of bricks (I won't settle for anything heavier than 1 pound per inch of the diameter... so, 16lbs max for a 16" wheel) I don't want something wider than 6.5". I don't want to pay a fortune (I'd like some 5Zigen FN01R or even FN01R-C... but even the cast C model is expensive!)

I keep looking online and in magazines, and anything I like is either crazy expensive, or discontinued. Anybody have any suggestions? I'd love to get some oldschool JDM wheels (yeah, I know they're trendy now...) Unfortunately, I don't think Bronze was a popular color until recently, so oldschool bronze probably doesn't exist

Wheel whores, help me out!

you might have to settle for a different color and bring them to a shop to get painted/powdercoated...

I'm getting a set of 15 x 7 black racing pro n1. $155 each from edge racing. Not super lightweight, but decent cast japanese rims.

Hmm, it's ironic that the second I read this thread, I came across the same wheels.



They want 189/each for 15's tho.

[deevergote]

Yeah, I was considering Black Racing. They're actually a 5Zigen company. $155 each is decent. That's what my Falkens cost me.

Remember also that as much as you don't want Rotas, they do make the GT-3 in 15 x 7.

I also have a friend that can get me 5zigen fn01r for $235 and fn01rc for $155.

www.autornd.com has team dynamics wheels 15 x 7 for 135 each. And those weight like 9 pounds.

Rotas...

[shawn.hayden]

you can get C10's, c8's, GT3's, as well as many other Rota's in 15/16 (mostly 16) bronze... I'd just get rota's

coz cb7s aren't supposed to sit on anything smaller than 18s

I thought you were getting a Maxima? was that you? i could be wrong

[deevergote]

See why I don't want Rotas? If you want expensive rims, everyone thinks Volks. Inexpensive, everyone thinks Rota. I want something somewhat different. Falken was a good choice, but too big for me. ALL of the rims I've come across that are availible in 15" and 17" sizes (Hanabi, Helium) are ONLY 114.3 in 17" size! Why do the wheel companies think that people with bigger cars like Accords need the big rims?
