these will be the wheels that my car will come with. I was hoping they would be a bit wider, but nonetheless they look rather decent.

these are also for the people who are interested in my car.

IMO they look kinda wierd, wheels were meant for a bulkier car, and S14 is slim i guess, just looks wierd to me.

Wat'd you do with the other wheels?

You'd say the 350Z is bulkier than the S14? *shrug*
The other wheels are mine now... It'll be awhile until I can mount them however..

Doesn't look good.

You should also switch back to the USDM bumper and sell the JDM one to me. I'll even let you do a trade for mine. :D (j/m)

It's kinda hard to explain, I know S14s are bigger, but 350s have more of a round shape to them, while S14 is long. The rims just don't look at home there.

Actually, it's the tire height that makes them look strange.

the Z33/V35 chassis cars use tires that are like 2" taller than ours. Those are, what, 245/45-18's? That's like a 27" tall tire! :eek:

i think a nice low profile tire would do nicely to improve the look..

225/45/18 in the front 245/45/18 in the back. car sits really tall.

tunacan, err. duffman..
these wheels will be sold with the car.
I'm not looking for opinions.

S14 looks too flat, z33 looks thick

yes lower profile tires would help a lot.
looks better in person

I think those actually look pretty good on there. Yeah, a shorter profile tire would be better.

I still have yet to see a 240 with the Track model rims on it yet. I am sure someday, someone will post it up.

I can understand not wanting opinions, but then why post it here instead of For Sale?

becuase, many people have asked what z33 wheels look like on a 240sx. Just an answer to people's curiosity of what it look like. But the main reason was to show the people who are buying my car. But then again not everyone is planning to buy my car so I figure it'd be a good idea to post it here.

and like I said, these will be the wheels that stay with the car when I sell it, so the next owner will have to deal with it whether or not he/she likes it.

The post was for reference, opinions dont matter because nothing will be changed on this car unless I decide to keep it.
opinions are like a$$holes, everybody's got one... thus I'm not looking for it.

Our opinions were offered as advice to the buyer of your car. And knowing that all it'd take is a tire swap to look 'normal' might help the car sell...

Seriously guys, these pictures just don't do the car justice. I've seen it in person and it's AWESOME! They suit the car really well.

The car looks amazing Grant, i can't believe you're really gonna sell it :(
