S13 300zx wheels, progress, PIX

[Nizmo240_22]

So far with my project I was increasingly annoyed with the insane prices 5 lug conv. was going for so I purchased all new Nissan bearings and hubs. Also upgraded to 300zx calipers and will be adding a new turbo and AEM ems.
So far the wheels are on and the rear's fit perfect. The fronts need spacers and they're on order. Let me know what you think...

The pic of the disassembled motor is a project I'm starting for a friend. That will be a solid stock rebuild and right now is in limbo for either sohc pistons or future T25 or T28 turbo setup. My first project where I'm getting paid.

yummy chrome Z32 wheels. If i went 5lug i could only dream of finding a set of chrome twin turbo wheels.

[Nizmo240_22]

Roam the Z32 forums...somehow I found mine in the midwest(kansas) for $350. The retard put 205/50/16's on them though....can't afford new tires as of now so I'll roll with em.

i'd take steelies over chrome z32 wheels, but that's just me.

[neverdone]

If you dont me asking - how much did the new bearings and hubs from nissan cost you? Also do you have any close ups of the brakes and wheels?

[Nizmo240_22]

Front bearings/hubs were like $96 a piece. The rear was a screw-up on the dealer part and they sent me only the bearings at first so I paid too much. The bearings for the rear are $150 a piece and hubs are $80 a piece.
No up-close snapshots but I'll be taking better pictures next week.

The regular finish on z32 wheels usually looks really good = /
Thats all I have to bout that one

what?!! $350? i see/pass up 100-200 deals with tires everyday...all well, doesnt really matter...

nice set up nismo240...you got the fronts for $96 a piece shipped? or w/o shipping? just curious, cuz i need the fronts sometime real soon...

[Nizmo240_22]

Exactly...you're in the bay area. 99% of classifieds are in cali. Everything is a lot harder to find here in Kansas and shipping is outta the question for a set of wheels. The front price is without shipping. By the way I didn't buy the wheels for looks. I needed a set of wider rims.

[wootwoot]

Shipping out of the question for wheels?? Why? Last time I shipped a set of wheels w/tires it was to Pennsylvania from Florida and it only cost 70 bucks insured.
Does anyone happen to know the weight of the 300ZXTT wheels? Offsets would be nice to just for curiousity

[Dutchmalmiss]

anyone have pics of an s13 with alloy z32's and slammed to the floor? i have a guaging interest for that.

[krustindumm]

What front bearings/hubs did you get to convert to 5-bolt on an S13?

"I purchased all new Nissan bearings and hubs."!

it's the first sentence in the first post

[orion::S14]

16X7.5, +45 on all 4 for non-tubo Z32...

16X7.5 +45 (F), 16X8.5 +35 (R) for TT.

And weight...is same/slightly more than S14 SE wheels, maybe ~20lbs each...if that.

FYI...

you would suck at life if you tried to do a 5 lug and still ended up with a 4 lug. You know nissan makes 5 lug hubs too right?
