i like them both. depends on what you like to do. SE wheels are very versitle, but narrow and crap offsets. z tt wheels looks nice, the rear is pretty flush. you can put some decent size rubber on it and it'll grip like a mofo. But with z brakes you can't use the rear wheels in the front. SE wheels i think are the drifter's choice for s14 owners. But OEM wheels rock, cheap and good quality.

I agree with Pruto about the flushness, the SE wheels are a not so hot offset, the Z TT weels are a lot more fluss. And the Z wheels are designed to cool the brakes so i say Z TT wheels!! Here is a pic comparing flushness in the rear on my S14.......................

You could probably get a set of TT's for $200. I got my set for $220 w/tires and it included an extra front left rim with tire.

Both look nice if you re-finish them. I have a set of TT's I paid $150 for on ebay....+$75 shipping. I ground down all curb rash and filled the divots with JB weld...then repainted them silver. They look new now.

little OT, but does anyoen know if s14 SE will clear 30mm calipers? didnt find it on search, or maybe im not trying hard enough...

I like the style of S14 SE wheels over z32 wheels though, but not a bigfan of the offsets though

But with z brakes you can't use the rear wheels in the front.

you sure about this? I could have sworn I've seen Z32 guys run 4 rear wheels before...

i thought it was the struts that didnt clear in the front?
ive seen the tt's all around with spacers.

dude, you can make mesh wheels clear z brakes with big enough spacers. Spacers = magik.
I think it was the strut you can't clear, i only tried it out once myself. But that wasn't my point, my point is that in some situations, say track/drifting (when you need ALL of your rubber sometimes), you can't just throw your rears on the front. Inconvient, but eh, whatever. Sometimes you don't realize how useful having 4 of the same wheels can be, very practical.
