Hurry while Dousans still in a good mood! lest your dreams be crushed!

[CleanS14]

Too late... he'll prolly set you up with an offset that's a little too much just so he can roll your fenders and charge you LOL!!!

:p Dousan's such a character!!!

here is a pic of my car with 18's Don't know if they were to big or not for you though. Hard to see the tires.

What type of rims are those??? and what type of suspension do you have???:confused: :confused:

[sykikchimp]

look through the picture thread at the top of the forum...

[Fastback180]

Also try a google image search for "s13 silvia" or something, most all the pictures you will find will have some aftermarket rims.

[b00st_E]

im leaning more to get some 16inch watanabes old school...
and upgrading later... plus im planning to autocross, so i think the 16s would be perfect... thanks a for all the info:aw:

[NiteKids]

it's more then jsut 17's or 18's, the width and offset also effect the Look of the wheel do ALOT numb nuts.

I got 18's DOGG! :rolleyes:

What's the width and offset. DURRRRRRRR I don't know dogg! But I got 18's DOGG!

But they look all sunk in and nasty and ghey.

I don't know but I got 18's dogg. :rolleyes:

[Dousan_PG]

hey its not nice to post our conversation like this, nitekids!!! :cry:

Nitekids.. chill with the condescending attitude. it's not called for.

[NiteKids]

I mean...

Acually Sir the diameter of the wheel is not the only determining factor of the look of a wheel. Much more importently is the offset, width and tire size. A 17x7 w/ 42 offste wheel will look smaller on our cars then a 17x9 low offset wheel. Even though they are both 17's. 17x7 42 offset also has that undesirable look and is not optimal for performance either. Lowoffset also gives much for clearence for brakes and coilovers.

^very well said.. ty:D

There's a pic of my car with 16" Watanabe RS8s. There's lots of different models of the 8-spoke design, but this will give you a general idea of what it looks like.

[fooddude]

Thats nice:D

Enkei RS-E's, u can't buy them anymore.
I have KYB AGX's with Ground control coilovers at their highest setting.

You guys with the Wat's make me so jealous! :(

17x7 IS smaller than 17x9 regardless of offset.

I think you mean 17x7 +42 will "look" smaller than 17x7 +20

17s look goofy?
why ?
just wondering your reasoning behind 17s
cause im looking at some konig 17s
http://www.konigwheels.com/images/202_b.jpg
the only problem with these is that im not sure about the width kinda weak
17 x 7.0
im diggin the black center with polished rims

[Dousan_PG]

nah u can find better wheels then that!

i said 17s look goofy w/o a body kit
i know because i have them on my car right now even though the body kit parts are lying in my room :p

[bobmeindertsma]

AHHHHHHH
gotcha

what would you recommend dousan36 for 17s?
sorta the same style as the above konigs

[Dousan_PG]

well, imho
5 zigen FN01R are very nice and relatively inexpensive. great sizing choices too

kosei K1s are spoked as well and come in alot of great sizes and widths

those are probaly the best bet. not much in 5 lug 17 that's inexpensive, good sizing and offset and QUALITY all at the same time.

[bobmeindertsma]

just browsing for some wheels and came by the
new and improved Tirerack.com site

they allow you to put different wheels on your car with the chance
to change color of car.

Check It! (http://www.tirerack.com/upgrade_garage/WheelSearch.jsp?&autoMake=Nissan&autoModel=240SX+Fastback&autoYear=1992)
very cool i think

[vinyladdic7ion]

YEAH YYYEEEAAHHH YAH!!!! :wackit:

You know what DJ Shadow says? DJ Shadow says:

Bitch. I go to the record shops every day and look for the most obscure blues and hip hop records known to the naive man..... and why does your car look so ghey? I thought low offset wheels and large width wheels were supposed to be as hot looking as 50 Cent's face? Maybe you should actually lower your car. Keep it on the DOWNLOW! Time to let the record go round and round while the main man, me, drops the needle. Peace beeyotches. U - N - K - L - E !!!!!

You know what I hate the most?......

People who hate weed.

Bitch, RJD2 got 0 offset wheels on his 180SX Type Asshat and he can't clear no Z32 brakes. Maybe you should think a little about what you said like an educated man would. RJD2 dont forget no details... w3rd. **** Stupid Ass Hoes.

You can forget your "Preemptive Strike" record, cause it's now rollin as my dounut, cause THAT SH*T'S HEAVY! And RJD2...He can stuff his cornbread and lima beans. Cause I'm the #1 "Deadringer"!
