measure it. Take a tape measure and from center of the rim, come up out to the edge of the outside of the rim.

they might be +10. pictured with 205/60-14 tires, you need Z lugnuts to run these - they are shank type and not conical. regular conical lugnuts will oval the holes and ruin the wheels.

no you buy any of the lugnuts that are made to fit the wheel, which are shank type.

so any shank type lugnut will fit these?
i believe these are(to my knowledge) off a 280zx so could i just grab lugnuts from a scrapped car and use them?

14"s look dumb on S13/S14.
Well, anything smaller than 15", anyway.
The offset of those wheels is probably around +40 or so.

I'm not saying you shouldn't go for it and I'm not bashing you.
I'm just saying that smaller than 15" = ugly in mine, and most people's opinions.
Don't base your decisions on our opinions or our comments. Do what makes you happy.

I personally like those wheels (they're my favorite ZX wheel, I wanted a set for my Fairlady way back when), but I don't think they look good on S13/S14. The upside to 14"ers is that the tires are MEGA cheap.

i am doing what i want, i just wanted to make it clear that your opinion that this size sucks for an s13 wont change my opinion, and i didnt say you were bashing me. i said "go ahead and bash IT all you want"
theyre tiny and i know it, so be it, theyre wheels. those pics that were posted are the same wheel without center caps and painted spokes, i doubt theyre +40 offset

the reason i bought mine was they were super cheap with almost new tires. i think they look good but the width is pretty weak and the huge sidewalls roll horribly on hard turns. the tires are a little short so they give me sweet fender gappage, too bad my coilovers won't go lower without removing the lock collars (sustec pro ss).

the gold ones you pictured are more rare than what i got. and i would run center caps but i only have 3.
