Default Question about weds wheels

Ok. So i'm looking for a set of wheels for my 240SX. I've tried 240sxforums.com and zilvia.net, but they don't really help much, and it takes about 2 weeks for anyone to reply. So i must rely on the expertise in this forum.

I'm looking at the weds SA70 wheels in a 17x9 +10 on all four corners. I want them to have a really concave look with the spokes radiating right to the edge. That is why i like the design of this rim so much.

So, the problem. On the WEDS website, it states that the face of the wheel i want is FR, but it hasn't got a picture of what that face looks like, only the RR or the R or the F. The RR face is the sort of deep concaveness i'm looking for. So i was wondering if anyone has experience with these wheels and if the 17x9 +10 wheel i want will have this deep concave look i'm wanting.

If anyone has any pictures that would be awesome.
Thanks guys.

Ok, so there isn't really much difference between the different faces. I'm looking for something with quite a lot of concaveness. I'd probably be better off with the Work XT7's.

Have you got any more pics of these wheels?
What size are the second pic?

Cheers for the help

I HAVE A ****ING THREAD. try searching it.


and yes, there is a BIG difference in the faces. the other pics were too large to upload on the fly. the FR and RR faces are night and day. though the FR does have a decent amount of concavity. it's hard to judge from pics.

I mean, not 17x10 +15 FNo1RC concavity, but still alot.

and those Work XDs are ugly as ****.

Hang on i just realised what you said. So no matter what offset i buy, its going to have the same concaveness because they are both FR faces. The only way the face changes is when you get an RR or an R face. Am i right?

LOL!! and yes, if you look at the sizing chart you can see the faces.

what I meant is that even though you were asking about a +10 17x9, the +20 has the same face (per the chart).


you would need to go with either a 18x9 +20 or a 18x10 +20 to get the most concave face (RR)

Cool. Thanks man. They do actually look lie they've got quite a bit of concaveness.
I'm not sure how much the kreuzers weigh. I'm not at home and i haven't measured them. But there not a lot. With the tires on them i don't have any struggles at all carrying them around.

I'm going to be running those on my subaru legacy, so i want to try and keep them different for each car. I do like those wheels a lot!


(I suppose that's why i'm going to get them)
