hrmm I can't decide which one.. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif



what do you guys think?



547R

545R



i hope those work, if they don't you can find them at www.hrewheels.com in the 'wheels' section listed in the 540r line



I have a black FD stock body just in case if you wanna help me figure out which would look better https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

Benny 04-08-2003 06:25 PM

545R all the way.. i seen the 547R in person, they dont look as good as the 545 https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

FikseRxSeven 04-08-2003 08:43 PM

i dont know benny, in the pics the 547r looks amazing

Joe Flo 04-08-2003 08:56 PM

I agree with benny. I like the whole simple 5 spoke design. Both look great though!

FikseRxSeven 04-08-2003 09:00 PM

damn, those rims must be so expensive

Silver Ninety Three 04-08-2003 09:07 PM

Both are nice, but I think I like the 547 better. I myself plan to buy Kinesis K58s if I ever stop blowing motors.

FikseRxSeven 04-08-2003 10:01 PM

good possibility that im gettin fikse fm5's looks very close to kinesis k58 and 545 's spoke pattern...... i if i had a choice i'd rather have profil 5s ...... looks like the 547

Rx7Roadster 04-08-2003 10:10 PM

They are both really sweet. Maybe someone could photoshop them on to give you and idea and help you choose.

Srce 04-08-2003 10:11 PM

I'm with none of you, okay go with the 45R's

yayer 04-09-2003 10:33 AM

just took this one

other side

i'll put up better ones later for anyone who has skills or the inclination to photoshop those wheels on my car for me https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

fritzfry 04-09-2003 09:40 PM

both nice. um, 545 if i had to choose one.

ChainSawOnSteroids 04-09-2003 09:54 PM

545 would be my choice as well although both look great

93 R1 04-10-2003 07:08 AM

Which ever ones you don't get....send them to my house https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png



HRE's are BADASS

rx7machine 04-10-2003 08:56 AM

Both look good.

yayer 04-10-2003 10:39 AM

sigh.. i wanted 18s in back and 17s up front but the lowest diameter these wheels come in are 18" https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif

FikseRxSeven 04-10-2003 11:50 AM

18s would work....... get low profile tires in front and taller in the back....... it would probably do the same effect

yayer 04-10-2003 06:04 PM

hrmmm https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif if i were to get 18s all around with widths 9.0" in the back and 8.0" in the front.. what size tires would you suggest for that effect?

93 R1 04-10-2003 06:13 PM

I'm guessing 245/40 fronts and 265/35 rears but I'm not a wheel expert

Srce 04-10-2003 11:42 PM

Man I'd kill for some 540R's, these are perhaps my favorite wheels of all time.



https://www.nopistons.com/forums/upl...1048546868.jpg

FikseRxSeven 04-11-2003 12:06 AM

540 is the ****!!!

93 R1 04-11-2003 07:28 AM

Yeah pretty much any HRE wheel is the ****. Too bad I don't have $5000 to drop on wheels

yayer 04-11-2003 12:23 PM

hrmm which do you guys think would look better on a black FD ? 540R or 545R ?

Srce 04-11-2003 02:16 PM

540R dood, no question. I https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif to the 540R. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

FikseRxSeven 04-11-2003 02:41 PM

yup 540 is my choice too

yayer 04-23-2003 08:41 PM

ok 540Rs it is.. whenever i get around to saving up the $$ https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

FikseRxSeven 04-23-2003 08:57 PM

how much money exactly are you talkin about?

Srce 04-23-2003 09:51 PM

Well, you'd need good size wheels to get the max potential out of the car and wheels at the same time. So we're looking at perhaps 18x10's in the rear and 18x8.5's in the front. That said, the basic wheel package from HRE will run you about $1,300 per wheel for the rears and about $1,200 for the fronts each, Silver painted polished lip and HRE center caps. Now you'll need a good set of tires. For the fronts let's say you go with 245/40's and the rears you go with 285/35's and just as an example I'll use my tires of choice the Potenza S03's.



Total wheels and tires: $6,300 mounted,balanced and delivered to your place. That's an estimate, please feel free to make any corections neccessary. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

FikseRxSeven 04-23-2003 10:17 PM

wow thats a lot of money

93 R1 04-24-2003 07:17 AM

HAHA, not bad. They will look so much better in real life though. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif

93 R1 04-25-2003 07:37 AM

$6000 for HRE's on my car would be the best $6000 I ever spent in my opinion.



Martin,

Good deal on the Fiske's. I'm honestly not a big fan of the FM5 though. They look O.K. but not my favorite.

nah, im not a big fan of big 5 spokes either........... if it was my choice i would have gone with mesh wheels........... but i thought the deal was too good to pass up https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



im open for any trades for good mesh wheels https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png like the ones on benny's post (seneka's look hot)

thanks for all the info guys, especially the size and pricing. actually i've been looking at the 840R line I wish they made one like the 540R with the smooth lines of the 840R line, with out all the bolts and ****.. hrmm

yayer 05-04-2003 08:42 PM
