Yeah.....I pulled them off my old beater and cleaned them up a bit....I hate the tear drops......LOL my S12 beater is a base model CA20E and has a turbo hood and wing along with these turbo wheels......Who knows but what do you think of the wheels on the 240?

[Redtop_240]

Man its all good......They definately arnt permanent they are just better than the horrid Tear drops it had on it ....... I just think its growing on me for some reason....... :D

[ThatGuy]

They don't look too bad. I'm rollin on stock steelies, so anything is an improvement to me. They might make good track wheels.

They have zero roll on the wheel studs.....you should see the desighn of the lug nuts (Fawking amazing, too bad they dont use this desighn anymore....makes the wheel basicly one peice with the hub.....)

I dunno I just wanted to see what everyone else thought about how I was rollin around right now......

[stuntman240]

15x6.5 +35 paint em black and they look good too. have pair were on my s14, but I threw snows on them and put on my altima!!

Yeah the lug nut design is what nissan like to use in the 80's. Z31's had the same lug nuts.

[mike13]

no JDM forged no care

[rainier]

yeah seriously paint them black. alot of ugly wheels turn out pretty nice when painted.

[Redtop_240]

Think I should paint the whole wheel balck or leave the polished lip? Its about 3/4 of an inch wide....

[mike13]

those wheels dont have a lip...

[ThatGuy]

Leave the lip, loose the weights.

[Redtop_240]

no JDM forged no care

Thanks for the imput.....I will cherish this oppinion forever..... :rolleyes:

[Redtop_240]

those wheels dont have a lip...


You know what I meant......And what do you care? There not forged nor JDM....

[wootwoot]

if you paint them black, they will be 7904892 times better, and i say just paint them straight up black. leaving the lip would look like un bling trying to be bling.

I'm thinking so too......

A freind of mine had tossed around a light bronze color as well......But I think Ima just paint the biatches black and call it a day....( the black paints cheaper HAHAHA)

[cali240sxdrifter]

nice monstertruck

nice rims btw

[BSeay]

those wheels are teh gay! go back to the tear drops!

[Jeff240sx]

Don't feel bad. Haters hated on my Volks, too. People bashing on other's rims without owning/posting pics of their own is bullshit.
The guy 2 posts above me apparently can't read "Before I lowered it" so don't listen to him either.
If you bought those new, I'd ask what was up with the battleship, but they're OEM rims, so we all understand car manufacturer's lack of size/offset knowledge.
I personally don't agree with the white, and would simply paint them (powdercoat is better) a gunmetal or black as stated. Other than that, nice originallity!

[nismo2491]

look kinda cool dude
KEvin

[Salty_X]

Paint them black? :ughd:
Why not just put some steelies on it? Same look...

Just leave them how they are.

[AKADriver]

I liked S12 wheels when I had my S12.

Needs more tire. What is that, 205/50? 195/55? More tire! 205/60!

[sideviewcivic]

hypertek ran S12 rims. he tiik a cam of semi gloss black spray paint to them. cam out quite nice and clea, very low-key DD wheels

Look at my avatar.

[Dunkee]

There much better than the tear drops. Spacers would make it look a lil better. I would paint them gummetal or dark gray instead. Like someone else said, black might as well be steelies.

[aznpoopy]

not bad... definitely paint them. they remind me alot of the s14 4lug rims.

[Marty]

go with painting them all black

[HyperTek]

I bought em at a junk yard for a drift event a while back...
They where already painted black, came of a s12, had all 4 on the car too, but only 2 had usuable tires so I took the 2.
weak rims tho, one of the flanges where the lug nuts goes, broke...

[Redtop_240]

Thanks guys......I really appreciate the good words seeing as how my 95 was all about performance but was lacking quite a bit in the looks department...I allways got, "man that thing is a beast but it looks like ish" .......

HAHAHA......

I'm really proud of this car for some reason..... :D

[Redtop_240]

lol it looks good did u use dupi color bronze wheel paint by chance. told u so lol
