anyone have the picture of the 2 types of the S13 15in 7spoke SE wheels
How to tell the difference?

One will clear the Z32 brake one will not?
What's the correct information?

Also you know that there are 2 sizes of z32 brakes. 26mm and 30mm. I'm guessing that 26mm should fit. But I can not confirm for sure.

where the hell did you come up with this? There's only one s13 se alloy.

Probably out of the truth bucket.

Only the 26mm will clear the one set of 7 spokes. I don't have pics but have seen them on one of the nissan boards a while back. The casting design on the back of the spokes is different. Otherwise they look the same.

I remember hearing that some of the S13 SE wheels do have better clearance on Z32 calipers, but only a few, I believe it was the later model 93+ S13 SEs. You're better off getting wheels that have a better clearing spoke design, or buying spacers than hoping that you'll come across a set of the good clearance SEs.

instead of wasting money on the ugly stock alloys, get something that fits better. There are plenty of inexpensive options these days.

yup there is two types of S13 7-spoke Alloy and only the "single-rib" design will clear the Z32 26mm caliper.

you are correct sir. This has been covered a few times before here as well, but the pictures are no longer available.
I think it's funny that some people jump to conclusions and say they won't fit just b/c they don't know

Oh yes they are :)

If the back of the wheel looks like this then you are okay and it will clear the 26mm calipers.

And if the back of the wheel looks like this, then none of the Z32 calipers will fit.
