I want to replace my 17" Enkeis while the tread is still good, hopefully I can get the cash back that i bought them for (bought them used). Here is a pic of themhttp://www-scf.usc.edu/~stephemt/enkei.jpg
I cant decide wether to go back to teardrop ($150) 7 spoke ($250) Z31 mags ($40 w/o tires) 15" Mesh(Coolerow price=$375) Enkei RP01 (~$400). I have no plans on lowering the car or doing any new mods soon. I just want to get rid of the 17s while they still have decent tread. Here is a pic of the z31 mags which i have considered throwing on, just replacing the Z with a Nissan center cap, so no z31 drivers will stone me. http://z31.com/images/84-85nt.jpg
Can someone photochop those onto a 240 hatch? Also what tire sizes are best for 15x6.5 and 15x7 inch?

or stock g20 rims...not the ones that were on the 180sx type x (too hard to find) for about $360 with new tires...http://www.clarkson.edu/~gleinerm/ClarksonCarShow/Infinity/Rim.jpg any photochoppers?

The 'hard to find' 8 double spoke G20 wheels are not the same as kouki 180SX wheels anyway. They have a polished lip and way too much offset for the 240SX. You might want to look into the offset of those 6 double spoke wheels, I bet it's +45.
The base model S14a had the kouki 180SX wheels as an option, though, and I see them for sale all the time... surprising considering how rare they are.
I say go with the 7-spokes.

I say go with some old skool mesh in 15's, they should be cheap and look nice as well.

has anyone else noticed how some s13 owners are removing their stock hubcaps/wheels and are driving around just like that?

Dude, you're all poseurs if you're doing that. I rocked the steelies THREE YEARS AGO!!! The hubcaps and y-pipe were yanked before I even drove the damn car. They were both deemed far too gay. Someone is driving an Altima with my hubcaps now.

Hubcaps serve no purpose, so they were off my car within a week. I'm running steel wheels because alloys weren't in the budget the last time I needed tires. They're ugly, but no worse than hubcaps. Besides, you can't run on a race track, or even an autocross, with hubcaps - they pop off just like in the movies.

And now I have those steelies with snow tires on them, which will also be going on an altima this winter. My gf's altima while my 240 gets garaged for the winter.
