I may be asking for it here... But I honestly think that these are some of the nicest (classiest, etc.) rims I've seen for the 240. Big surpise they are from Nismo and Ray's. If I had the cash these things would be on their way to my house. <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':love:'>

Those are nice, but they look really similar to the ones that came on the 400R... I wish I had 600 fucking bucks, those rims would be prestine (is that a word?).

me, there not bad, not the nicest ive seen though, i cant remember the guys name, but he has R34 GTR rims on his d15/s14 whatever it is thing, and it looks sooo nice, but if i had the money, i'd go get a set of work wheels or advans, i think they are the nicest, IMHO


of course, im sure if i saw them on an actual car, from a better angle i would think those rims are great too...

You've got to be kidding me. You actually pick those crappy knockoff TuNeR RiMz over Nismo GT2s? There's no accounting for taste.

The GT4's are the best-looking Nismo wheels (and priciest) in my opinion. Look at the finish quality on those.

the 3 rims you posted aren't all the same. the one on the S14 looks like VOLK GT-Ps which it looks like the top 2 are a rip-off of. VX5? Who makes them? they look like a cheap wannabe. Actually everything I've seen on wheelmaxx (whatever) just look cheap. <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/dozingoff.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':zzz:'> &nbsp;
The REAL GT-Ps, on the other hand... <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':love:'>

LM-GT2's are pretty nice...too bad those are only 17x7's.

GT4's are badass...too bad they're only 18x9 18x10 IIRC...Weren't they specifically designed for the R34 GTR? I've seen 18x9's on the back of a 240, but 18x10? That'd probably be pushing it...then the 15 million bucks for tires...hehe

edit: Whoops...I was thinking LMGT Mags...those were only 18x10's for R33 and R34...n/m

Hey Wake...you've seen TY's car right?

(BTW, Rays Engineering makes Nismo, STI, Mazdaspeed, and TRD wheels...along with Volk, Versus, etc...)

YAY! Ruf posted them before I did...good call Ruf...those are the ones I want eventually.

You can get 17x8 front and 17x9 rear GT4's.

Actually you know what?......your right about the three picture. &nbsp; <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/huh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':huh:'>

Those wheels are made by Velox and they are not cheap.

I actually like Volk GT-N's &nbsp;<img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/inlove.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':love:'>

nismo270r - here is a size chart for the GT4's: GT4 application chart (http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/cgi-bin/cgi/sizeGuide.cgi?modelName=GT4). The GTMags cost the same as any of the other magnesium wheels that Ray's makes: ~$1000/wheel.

GTspecR - I'm not trying to pee on your parade, but Velox is just knockoff stuff. $360/wheel for 19"? Those things must weigh a ton. If you like the GT-N's, save up for them and get them. Heck, I'll even make you a deal on them to keep you from buying those awful VX5's... &nbsp;<img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/eh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':eh:'>

Hey ruf, you said you could make gt spec r a deal on some rims... what do these cost?? (and the model name?)
ruf
10-03-2002, 10:23 PM
Geez. Those things are incredibly expensive. You're looking at at least $650-700 a piece. They are Nismo GT4 Limited Edition Black made by Rays Engineering. Only offered in 18x9.5 +12 offset in 5-lug.

Wow thats a lot. I think the rims would be too big for my car anyways. Maybe someday when I own a black R34 &nbsp;<img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

god damn you all. &nbsp;now i just am going to kill myself cuz i dont have rims. &nbsp;why cant nismo just say "hey, you 240 owners out there...have any pick of rim you want for only $500. &nbsp;one time deal only." &nbsp;only in dreams. &nbsp;shit shit shit. &nbsp;yeah i like those deep dish rims with the screws around the lip. &nbsp;3-piece look unless really 3-piece. &nbsp;

me: &nbsp;"yeah i just wanted to see the nismo rims you have."
shop guy: &nbsp;"oh right over there"
me: &nbsp;"cool, thanks"
shop guy turns back on me

This happens all the time. You can pick any 15" or 16" LMGT4 rim for $500. But then you should buy the other 3 to match or your car will look kinda stupid... <img src="#/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>
