L00k what i got today..

[johngriff]

I sold the last set i got to a forum member, and have been regretting selling them ever since. So today i finally got another set! These are eneki mesh 16x7.5 +35 (pretty sure), i fitted the last set and i know they fit tits though. Better than that is the fact they are still new. ARE manufactured these for eneki in the US. In the 90's they went out of style and had an over-run of production. And a "friend of a friend" bought out the over-stock some years ago and has been sitting on them. Getting ahold of him is a problem though so getting a set is few and far between. Im hoping to swoop up on two more sets of these so i have a full set of track slut wheels...

Should i powder coat them another color? Going on a green/silver coupe, silvia front end, lowered and im gonna roll the fenders to fit. The last set of riken 16's i put 225/45/16 azenis on. They are out of production now, and i didnt like how short the sidewall was because it made the car really, really bumpy and unstable on the freeway over 120 or so... does anyone make a decent 225/50/16? Isnt BFG coming out with a new tire comparable to the now discontinued azenis?

Thanks!

John

[papa]

nice nice...i think you may be able to rock em white

[JDMark]

i doubt thats a plus 35, cuz thats a pretty nice lip

[SimpleSexy180]

pretty dope.

i have a set of 15x7 gold enkei with the huge lip like in my sig. ill never get rid of them since there hard to find!

[FaLKoN240]

That's what I said about my Enkei 92s I had on my car. I'm selling them in 14 hours.

[YakuzaS14]

i like black ones with chrome lip

[mistaanime]

meshies are tite..but who hasn't had them?

[johngriff]

I am going to measure the backspacing tonight, and i'll test mount them on the car to make sure they arnt mexi-rice status (if you lived in so-cal then you'd understand.). A couple people sent me P/M's about getting more... the last set i sold for 600 shipped to n/j. There are more wheels than i can count stored in this guy's warehouse, but he is so busy manufacturing wheels that he acts like pulling these out is a waste of his time.. arrrgh, So right now, i am looking to pick up two more sets of these (which i know he has) so i can have full track days. Then my friend mike wants a set, and i think ole-rpsport-steve too. Afterwards if i can get any more i will post them back up online. I'll also see how things go between me and him in the future and possibly purchase all of his warehouse out using a business loan, and then re-sell them... but for now im stuck like this.

...yeah btw, lightning storm took out my rpsport email server, and i lost the contact info for the guy i sold the last set too (n00b didnt backup his server), if you are the guy who bought these, post up some pictures of them mounted on you're car, I've been waiting to see them.

Oh that and im gonna try a set of dunlop 901 225/50/16 on these first and see if they are good, i searched and alot of people said they grease, and the sidewalls are soft, has anyone run the 225/50/16 in specific on a car, and in what specific application?

[2iv0 sx]

a member was sellin black 15s few days ago... i missed out! grr

[ALTRNTV]

^
downshift180 bought them, haha.

[Daniel.]

*Cough* i have a set for sale *cough*

SSR's though... ;]

anyways, nice find there. I like the size and width, i prefer them over the 15's i have... :/

[trsilvias13]

would there be any 5luggers in the warehouse?

[Irukandji]

man i tried to get rid of my meshies DAYS ago and NOBODY was interested...

strange... maybe it's the next Lazy Eye Craze.....

[johngriff]

tons of 5 lug, more than 4..

[wootwoot]

JohnGriff, do you mind if I post my weeks purchase of wheels on here as well? =)
I'm incredibly excited and diddnt want to start my own post though.
If given the go ahead- mods, is it ok if I link to closed Ebay auctions?

[johngriff]

yeah dude its fine, im not trying to sell these... maybe we should start a "look at the random wheels i bought this week" thread!

LoL.

I think the reason why they dont want linking to ebay auctions is they dont want to take sales off zilvia, plus the ebay links die in a day or two anyways. if you just want to post them up now, just go to photobucket.com sign up for a free acount, then download the pics from the ebay auction, and upload them to photobucket. Copy the "[img]" tag and paste it in zilvia and they should load right up (dont forget to preview).

[2iv0 sx]

downshift180 bought the black 15s enkei from 240FaLKoN?! I seen em listed on craigslist

so jealous!

[ThatGuy]

WootWoot, the link should be fine. If you really want to play it safe you could always just link the pics only. (like johngriff said. But imageshack > photobucket):bow:

[johngriff]

wheels mounted on s13 w/o tires, tires come later with more $$ Decided on dunlop 901's with the 225/50/16.

my new babies.
17x7 +29 and 17x8 +33
They are made by Rays and only cost me 360 bucks on ebay. I'm stoked
AND 4 lug!

[johngriff]

those are sweet. what year did those come about?

[wootwoot]

1996!! So I'll be rockin some nine year old wheels. Anyone happen to know if they would be forged or not or if there is a way I can easily tell when they get here?

[ThatGuy]

Woot Woot, those appear to be Nismo LM-GT1 wheels. I can't find a whole lot of info on them, but at least it gives you the name to see what you can find.

How do I know? Well the Nismo 400R happen to sport these. 18x9.5 +14

Hopefully a S13 here in the states will be sporting them soon. :D :bow:

[wootwoot]

I'm going to be pulling the painted centers on them as well. I'm shooting for the black centers with polished lip on a silver car with black roof. Eventually!! Thanks for name guy

[AFSil80]

I say stick with the white spoke for a while and see how you like it. You can always change it after that.

Here's my 2 wheel sets btw.

My Enkeis are also 16x7, and they have a +20 offset.

Wootwoot, how much to get you to sell me the Rays centercaps? ;)

[AFSil80]

Woot Woot, those appear to be Nismo LM-GT1 wheels. I can't find a whole lot of info on them, but at least it gives you the name to see what you can find.

Those are GT-2s. ;)

[ThatGuy]

Fair enough, but mine are GT1's.

[AFSil80]

Fair enough, but mine are GT1's.


Cool, cool. The only thing I DON'T like about mine is the design of the wheel regarding the valvestem. They cut out part of the damned centerpiece lip for it! :mepoke:

[johngriff]

well not to off-topic my own thread (theres alot of nice wheels showing up now) but, I went to check out another green/silver today, cause g/f crashed my old one (which i am fixing). Found this online for 2500, with 27k. Check'd it out, nope 270k. Told her without driving it, well the most i can give you is 1000. So a couple weeks later she calls me and says she'll do 1100, so i check it out today... The HUD has been torn apart and reassembled, the digital display takes about 5 min to come on, and after driving it around the block, it overheated even though she "just" rebuilt the motor.. hmm cold radiator, scalding hot block, i'd say the h/g gasket is gone, even though she said "the guage is broken"... lol

I can get the rear fixed btw, but, how much should i "low-ball" her down if any at this point, remember i am a green/silver afficianado.....

ty..

[2iv0 sx]

I would polly offer like $800-900 for it... since you already find the color you really like and still in good condition just that rear damage. $1000 still isnt too much imo..

[AFSil80]

Definetly not more than $1000.

I paid $300 for mine, and the only thing that kept it from running was the fact that the motor and tranny were out of the car. Cosmetically, it had a broken windshield and banged up front end.

[mrmephistopheles]

offer $800 since you're going to have to fix the engine shit

[johngriff]

I have 2 sets of these for sale now, check out my thread in the wheels for sale section.
