Rim Problem

Well I was fooling around the other day, and ended up hitting a curb . Thankfully only one of my rims got messed up and now i have a problem. I bought the 5zigen FN01R-C in bronze size 17x7 from http://www.wheelsnext.com/default.cf...C&color=BRONZE

I got thier package deal and they only sell 4 at a time and i really dont have that much extra cash to get another 4. So i found another site that will just sell 1 and i don't know what exact rim wheels next gave me. I know my rim is 17x7 but i dont know what the PCD is or ET. Here is a link to the site http://www.edgeracing.com/wheels/5zigen/

Any help would be great

on the inside of the FNO1R-C's i have, the size and offset is molded into the wheel on the backside of the center, like where the lugs go. so take the wheel off and check there.

PS-why did you downgrade to 7" wheels? you could've gotten the 17x9's for close to the same price. not flaming, just curious.

Well i wanted to stay with a 17" rim and they only had the 17" rims in 17x7. Now would the offset be PCD?

Because on Edge racing site they have PCD and ET just wondering what one is offset. Thanks for your help!

Should fit make sure you install four of the same wheels do not do just one unless you want to buy a new drivetrain.

not sure, i know one is offset probrably which is on the inside of the rim, and one is probrably bolt pattern which the evo is 5x114.3 if i'm not mistaken. bolt pattern, offset, and wheel size is all you should need to know to order a new one.

No, Wheel Width And Offset Have To Be The Same Not Just Wheel Size.

i was pretty sure it's just rolling circumference, wheel/tire combined. for example, if all wheels are the same and you run a 235/45/17 on 3 and a 245/50/17 on the other, that's bad. i don't see how having a different offset or wheel width would make a difference.
