Nice wheels, but too small IMO.

+1 I do like them though.

Sell them to a corolla or something. S14s need at least 17 in the front and 18 in the rear.

15s on a s14 is going to look weird.

To small for a S14. While not a bad looking wheel definitely would be better on a older car. Though being 5 lug its a no go for Corolla's. Good for a MR2 though.

Nice but too small just like they said. I thought 16s are small on S14.

axiomatik
06-06-2007, 11:39 AM
15s don't look right on S14s. plus S14s don't look good with old school style wheels. I'd sell them and get something else (17's or 17/18 stagger)

lol,

It would look good.

Get some Hydros.

so you bought them, and you dont know what they would look like on your s14? you could allways put them on.

on the plus side they will look better than stock.

06-06-2007, 12:26 PM
I beg to differ, its going to depend on what stock tires he originally had, seeing he had bought 5 lug rims, im assuming he had SE wheels, id rock those 16s over these 15s anyday (mainly for the reason that i wouldnt have spent money on 15s period.

xblack240x
06-06-2007, 12:40 PM
They'd probably look better on a slammed s13... Dunno about a s14, 17's or bigger is all I would rock other than the stockies...

Chitown_B14
06-06-2007, 01:13 PM
Thanks guys, so anyone with an s13 in the market for a set of rims? I'm going to see how they look on and then decide if i'm going to keep them or not.

azndoc
06-06-2007, 02:44 PM
Don't keep them. Don't even waste your money on tires and mounting.

Just sell them for something bigger. Way bigger. You drive a S14 so you respectfully have to get bigger wheels at least 17's if not then 18's for more cool points.

Sell those to an old skool Toyota guy... Like everyone said, they will look whack on your S14.

06-06-2007, 05:58 PM
Maybe if they were larger sizing.
But still the Mesh Style face dosen't suit a 14 too well.

false

at least stock will look like you aren't dumb enough to spend a dime to downgrade from 16's to 15's on an s14

Is this thread for real? 15's on a 240???????

JJisGUILTY
06-07-2007, 12:58 AM
Nice wheels, but a bit small to go on the 240. I ran 15's from the factory (i had base model), but defanitely pass on those. Sell them to a Corolla or something. I have no idea what their PCD is though.

I have these rims on my S13 put theres 16s not 15s. I dont think these will look good on an S14.

07-09-2007, 06:27 PM
Ok guys, I just got the rims put on. I like the way they look on the car. I'm happy so that's all that matters. Here are a few pic's of them on the car. http://i206.photobucket.com/albums/bb216/jdm-silvia/IMG_0300.jpg

Too small, too narrow, need spacers.

Sweet holy mother of God, are your headlights that yellow on purpose or was there some level of neglect to allow them to fall to that?

but on a more serious note, white wall the tires.

powersteeringless180sx
07-09-2007, 07:01 PM
too small for my taste. i think the stock se wheels look better. i agree w/ everyone else 17 and 18's look much better on s14's.

Won't be too bad as an extra set for Drift Day.

spacers and paint the centers black... i think it would look nice then, it doesnt look bad now but i just think theres too much going on in the middle, looks like if they were a shiny black it might look better.

07-09-2007, 07:55 PM
i am actually digging those wheels. never seen an s14 with meshies before

but the sizes do blow, way to small. shit i could run those on my honda no problem and that says everything you need to know about those sizes

they look just fine. 15's are great, lots of sidewall for traction. throw some et streets on there and take it to the strip!

axiomatik
07-09-2007, 08:22 PM
eh, would look better with some spacers, slammed, and some smaller tires. seriously, they look like balloons.

what size tires do you have? They look bulgy... Get some 25mm spacers, and some different tires and it will look better IMO.

slower than you
07-09-2007, 10:04 PM
well they fill out the fenders with those 355/200/15 tires on em haha but they really wouldnt be to bad with a thiner tire and some spacers

would be niceon the drag strip with some drag radials otherwise you should have stayed stock

Thanks everyone. I appreciate all the feed back. I feel special, 3 pages of comments all about me. LOL… But in all honesty I’m building my car the way I like it and I’m happy so that’s all that matters. I just figured that i would share with you all. At least whenever you see me on the road now you’ll know who I am. :coold: Maybe I’ll name my car “The Ugly Duckling”. Lol..

hey Chitown_b14 better not let "ThatGuy" lock your opinion thread like he did mine.

Thanks for whining like a little bitch and bringing this thread to my attention.

Chitown, already got the information he wanted though, so it's no big deal when I lock this.
He at least asked a question about something that is not often done. Aero questions are ridiculously silly. Every manufacturer provides pictures of the kits mounted for you to see. If it looks good to you, buy it. Don't bother asking to make sure other people are going to like it too.

Chitown, I hope you are happy with your wheel choice. :bow:
