Thoughts on the RH Evolution Z5000 wheel?? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

HondakillaS14 · 08-28-2001, 04:55 PM

How do you think these wheels would look on an S14....Wanting 18x7.5 all the way around...what's a good offset for these wheel???

Not wanting to keep them on the car forever....just tired of looking at stock wheels, especially now since I've got my brakes upgraded and want to see the actuall rotors and the like installed.

Any thoughts???

hmmm...not too crazy about them myself.
Too edgy...I would suggest something a bit smoother looking to match the S14's sleek lines.

Agreed, although those would fit a wee bit better on the s14a then the '95 and '96 s14, but it is a bit edgy. I never was a fan of huge rims, and personally like the seven spoke 16" (I think) on my '92 SE. Regardless, that's just a personal opinion, and I can burn in #### for all I care <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

Well the only reason I was thinking of getting them was because I've seen these on a burnt orange 240 in Daytona and thought they looked really good.....again not real sure what I'll end up getting....Racing Hart discontinued production of their M5 wheel so I can't go that route unless I'm lucky enough to find a set used......rim shopping is difficult...partly cause I'm so picky...

Thanks for the opinions guys....

Get em! Those are dope wheel. Although please get at least a 8" wheel. Possibly a wider wheel in the back since you have a s14. You do have a 5 lug right? Cosider a 17" wheel too since 18" tires are exspensinve and weight more. I think the offset should be around +32. I got a +35 offset for my 17x8 and 17x9's. Have a wheel distributor double check the offsets for you so you get the correct one.

HondakillaS14 · 08-30-2001, 04:28 AM

I think I'll propably go with 17's since the tires for the 18's would be way to expensive for my taste.......besides the previous wheel, anybody know of a better looking five spoke design...thick or thin....looking for 17x8 out back and 17x7 for the front....any ideas???
