falken hanabi

thinking of going with the falken hanabi wheels. 17x7.5 with a +32 offset. just wanting to get some opinions on this set-up. it will be going on my s13 hatch. ive opted to keep the 4 lug set-up. i have q45 brakes up front stock rears. i could re-drill my r33 skyline rear brakes and put them on, but i think it would be overkill versus the q45 fronts. anyway, i dont want to do 5 lug due to added cost and my last s14 rb25 had five lug. on that car i kept wanting to get expenzsive wheels since i had more choice. this way i have fewer chioces, therefore i stay in budget.

yea ive always liked the , i think its integra
wheel and this looks similar. the 9s are too pricey with tires so i might go 9s in the rear

Go 9 all around...you can stretch 215 on nine inch if your worried about tire prices...if you dont have the money...SAVE. You wont regret it in the long run...

i dont do stretched tires. i hate the look and wouldnt want to get a pinch flat. i might do 9s all around its a debate for me.
i just have soo much in this car now. im ready to be done. you know when you get this close on any project you start thinking of ways to just get done. or at least i do.

I have bought 3 sets of wheels from Edgeracing.com for the VWs I have owned and I have had no issues with them. Very good shop and great people to deal with.
