Hey guys,

I'm just testing waters for my current rims which I'm planning on changing within the next couple weeks. They're Giovanna (G-Racing divison) Nagano 18x7.5", 4x114.3 pattern, offset = +38 and they're black pearl color. Great looking rims on a S14 because of the smooth design that fits the body style very well. I won an award for best rims with these babies last year, and once I even had a guy in a Ferrari at a light tell me "nice rims"! So trust me they're definitely unique. I think (not sure) Giovanna discontinued them too so that makes them even more rare. I have pics of them on my car and I'm working on gettng pics of them off the car but later. Oh also I currently have Yokohama DB2 225/40 tires on 3 of them and just got a new Capitol tire to replace a flat tire. One of the tires has some inside tire wear so it will need to be replaced, But other than that everything's good to go. Oh yeah had some minor curb rash that I've repaired (dremel sander, super black paint, and alot of patience) so you can't even see it. I'm looking for at least $600obo for everything and I'd rather not ship them due to size and the hassle. But if no one local bites then maybe at buyer expense. Let me know guys!! I can email pics right away just PM if you're interested.

Thanks

Okay I got some pics ready. Figured out how to post thumbnails correctly. :)
Oh yeah I have some other G-Racing hub center caps that originally came with the rims that I wanted to save for show times. Chrome caps with G-Racing centers. I'll get pics soon, trust me they're tight.
C'mon guys let see some offers!!

thanks

How to lose at battleship:
A - Your opponent - I fire! 17x7J +38
You - You sunk my battleship!
Remember: Never place the life of your battleship at 17x7J +38

uh....so waht you're saying is +38 is bad? Well as you can se from the pics it's not too shabby. And I'm sure you've read the recent posts about spacers, so I'll just end it there.
I just bought my other rims so these will be going on ebay within the next few weeks.
Cmon guys anyone else interested?

+38 itself is not bad, if it's on a 10" rim in the rear, or 8.5" up front.

no way dude, would have to be on like a 12" wheel not to suck. i got 10" +25 in the back and i am kicking myself for not having gotten +12.

Just to let you know Giovanna wheels will never be rare, ever. The specs you have are for a Honda accord. Sell them on a Honda forum.

Never be rare? Well, I mean this rim in particular is pretty rare. I've seen them on only two other cars and BOTH were Nissans. So...huh.

I'll try selling them on some other forums thanks guys.
