Trouble Finding Staggered 17"s
 
Hey all, I decided to try and go for 17" rims on my AP1 since I'm replacing the tires soon. It's been a battle between finding quality rims and not spending a fortune much less finding them in a staggered setup with proper offsets. :banghead: I've done a lot of google'ing and search multiple s2k boards. Tires are going to run $600 locally. Falken FK 452's. 215/45/17 and 245/45/17. So I'd like to keep rims at or below $1500 if possible.

I really like the Volk RE30's (especially in mag blue) and the AME TM-02's in that dark blue color (http://www.gotuning.com/product_info...roducts_id=359) but I'm finding it hard to swallow the price tag at the moment. What do you guys think of the blue rims on a suzuka blue s2k?

Color choices I'm looking at are Gunmetal with or without a silver lip, the Mag Blue for the Volks, or that... other blue for the AME's (anyone know the name of it?).

If anyone has suggestions I'd be happy to look into them be it specific rims, group buys, online shops, etc. Thanks so much!

I have a number of wheels that fit the car listed on our web site. As far as the tires go I would recommend you look at the new Sumitomo HTRZ III at 91.00 front and 95.00 rear. We tested them and they are a very good handling tire in both wet and dry and they are a lot cheaper than the Falken you list. I am also sure they are a better handling tire.
If I can help let me know.

Yea, but alot of us on here have FK452's. Ive had three sets and i'll always go back to falken tires

Try RBmotoring and Takumi and even ebay for the JDM offset fitments, you'd be surprised

ROTA and some of the stuff on tire rack seems good so far for the money, I am looking for the same thing. ASA and Jamgs are my fav so far.

Listen to Jim...the Sumitomo HTRZ III are superior to the Falkens and cost less.
