whats the difference between the rs (2 piece) and the fs (3 piece) aeros


i was ineterested in the fs because i thought i could get a bigger lip but apparently you can get the same lip on the RS

i guess ill ask vince but can someone help

I believe the 3-piece will allow you to get the rims with the rivets. Other than that I'm not sure. Maybe somebody else that knows will comment.

YEH ..THATS WHAT I FIGURED...I LIKE THE RIVETS ALOT FOR SOME REASON..

I ALSO ASKED FOR THE BIGGEST LIP POSSIBLE (4") SO MAYBE THATS WHY TEH ORDER CAME OUT TO 2600

I WANT TO ORDER THEM SOON SO I CAN GET THEM...THE WAITING PERIOD IS PROBOBLY SO ANNOYING

ALSO...WHERE DO YOU GUYS RECCOMEND TO BUY TIRES...I KNOW YOU ALL LOVE THOSE TOYO PROXES BUT I LIVE IN NY AND NEED A GOOD ALL WEATHER TIRE..CAN ANYONE HELP?

havabooz

one more question...i always here that it is imperative to keep the same ratio's when you get a new wheel setup

so with getting 19's how would i keep the same ratio i had with my 17s......is it just that the tires are thinner?...or does it have to do with wheel width too because i plan on gettin 8.5 fr and 10rear..is that bad?

In our second groupbuy there was no additional charge for a 4" wide lip. I do know that the FS wheels are more expensive than the RS.

As far as tires go. Most people are going with 245/35/19 Front and 275/35/19 rear. My front is 19 x 8 and the tire width was perfect for this size rim. I ended up going with 285/35/19 for my rear because 275's were on national backorder with almost all the major brands. Since you still have at least a few months before you need tires I suggest you shop around. You may want to contact tirerack.com and onlinetires.com (this is who I ordered my tires from) and get their recommendation for an all-season tire.

There are tire calculators that can help answer your question about keeping the same ratio as your stock 17's. They used to be stickied in this forum but VQRacer deleted them when he left the site. Go to Forum Search and type in tire calculator and you may find a thread where someone else may have posted a website that has this.

Good luck.

Yes. 2003z's car with the RS Aeros has a 4" lip. Check them out in the wheel gallery.

I think you're referring to Vince from iForged. Every time I called I got a hold of him but maybe I was lucky.

4" lip available, but not for brembos anymore, as need spacers to clear.

Ralphus

Perfection!!!!!

i meant to ask you...vic..are you using the stock lug nuts...and what size tire would you reccomend in the rear for the best protection for the rim...supposedly 285 is better than 275...so i guess you didnt miss out on 275

vics350

Yes. I am using the stock lug nuts as well as the Nissan lock I had on my rims.

My tires are Falken's 285/35/19 and what's neat about them is that they have a feature that protects the rim from scractching as it extends out like a lip and would rub first on a curb before the rim hits. I don't plan to hit a curb but it's neat to have this feature.

You can check them out at www.falkentire.com.

I purchased mine at www.onlinetire.com.

High polish,two piece, no rivets, took 6 weeks to get in. Zoop sealed before mounting them. Rear has a 3.5 lip front 2 lip. Went with the Toyo's. I love the combo. $2100 plus shipping.

havabooz

LOZ i ordered the same setup WITH rivets...are yours 19 or 18's...what tire sizes are you running??

havabooz

and what do you mean by "zoop sealed"

Smooth350

Zoop seal is a sealant that is supposed to protect the polish finish on your rims......so later on down the road you won't have to repolish them. Supposedly prevents dulling and oxidation and retain the luster or your rims. I've posted about this product before and i got no replies about it....not even one to ask what it was. I've been wanting to purchase the zoop seal kit but i wanted feedback on what others thought. The kit it $99 so its quite pricey. I heard that this product was highly recommended.

LOZ: What do you think about Zoop seal? Does the brake dust come off easier also? Review?

havabooz

thanx for the reply...im def interested in doing this..where can i purchase the kit
