I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

i like those but they dont have them in 4X114 according to tire rack. I would settle with a 16in but stil cant find any with my bolt pattern. They only list tirerack as a retailer and they dont even have a 4x114 SSR wheel available.

Do you know other retailers for SSR Wheels? the SSR site also doesnt show bolt pattern so im not sure if these would even be available in what i need.

fucking sensative sally

If you had done ANY research into wheels, or KNEW anything about wheels, you would clearly see the validity in my response.

"Just say no to Tenzo" Tenzo are a Thai wheel company that also make's Lenso's . They break and break really badly to the point of extremely dangerous. They are horrid ricer junk.


If you want to cheap out on something, cheap out on your food, clothes, cds etc. Dont be such a cheap ass when it comes to your car. "but they are a low cost alternative that fits my budget" you might say? Rubbish. Pick up some used wheels that are made by a quality reputable wheel company that has put in the R&D, testing and materials to justify the cost. No wonder you came here, i can tell your not cut out for H-T.


Im just trying to guide you to making a better decision. I dont know what your budget is, but lets conservativly say 500 bucks. Id recommend picking up a nice set of used wheels for that price.

there are 2 things i will never cheap out on. 1 being any car part that is in anyway shape or form related to safety and 2. birth control.

peace amigo

thanks for clearing up your post for me, if you had posted that instead of what you said originally i wouldnt have had a problem and obviously i dont know about these companies which is why i asked. i made this thread to get insight on these besides what there company boast about themselves. having the 4x114 bolt pattern i am having alot of trouble finding wheels that fit and these are some i came across that i liked the look of and that would actually fit my car. Im not against dropping alot of money on car parts but at the same time having my car be a DD and living in NY where i only have the car out for the summer i'de love to drop more money on a set of wheels but with school too i cant afford to drop more than 2k into just wheels this year.

either way the other option i didnt post was the Buddy Club either QF or the Sf. QF are a bit more but only weigh 11 pounds and i can get them and tires for about 2k, SF can get easilly for about 12-1300. other than that i check ICB every week to see what they get in a 16-17in with 4x114 bolt pattern and so far found nothing i want. Also browse forumsbut like i said not many people are selling 4x114 wheels.

you could always go with volks, but like i linked earlier, that site is a nice way to browse a ton of wheels, get weights, specs, etc on them then you can proceed from there.

yeah that site was helpful but they dont have links for vendors on all wheels. they have links to ebay auctions and also for the hompage but it is in japan and when i go to the US site it stil doesnt have vendors to actually buy the wheels. i have found wheels i like but cant find vendors actually selling those wheels with the bolt pattern i need. either way i will likely just start calling places that carry the style i like to see if they are able to get other wheels with the bolt pattern i need even though their websites aren't listing them.

i have tried googling and find stuf on other sites and forums like honda tech but stil the problem has been bolt pattern.

thanks for the link though
