"they are the exact wheel i want just too big."

so you dont realise you can change rim widths? if you want a 16", just ask nismo(or whoever makes them for them) makes plenty of offsets, bolt patterns, and diameter/width wheels.check http://www.japanparts.comor any 240sx.org links to find dealers, nismo rims cost a buttload, nearly as much as advan rims, usually.

Are'nt nismo rims made by Rays Engineering? That would explain the prices.

600 bones for one..dam*n thats 2400 bucks for a whole set, but they do look nice. what are those small circular objects?

Post by **Exar-Kun** » Mon Jan 13, 2003 6:56 am

one is a hub adapter, the other is a lug nut cover, and the last peice is a screw on cap that locks the lub nut cover into place so you can race with them on

Maybe they are peices for a knock-off type wheel mount, you know, what real racers use.

...you mean like the single nut used in f-1 and GT races? no, see my above post....what real racers use....I cant even begin to yell about that statement enough.the peice on the ground that looks like a funell goes behind the wheel, as a hub bore adapter, and has a threaded body. The large black circle is what covers the lug nuts, and the little silver thing goes over the threaded portion of the hub adapter(which pokes through the lug cover peice and out a bit) to lock down the lug cover so it doesnt fall off. Some times it comes with a cotter-pin type lock on it to ensure it wont fall off during a race. most racing classes wont allow the use of lug covers or center caps without some kind of lock on them because they can fly off and get onto the track.-chet

well SORRY..... I wasnt trying to start an argument or anything and i do relize that what I typed makes me sound like a ricer or on crack. You will just have to accept that sometimes i say incredibly stupid things for no reason at all, i just dont want my posts to be short.

BTW, those rims are sick. If i wernt spending all my money on engine stuff i would get those.

Post by **TheProfessional** » Mon Jan 13, 2003 6:56 am

Post by **Exar-Kun** » Mon Jan 13, 2003 6:56 am

wow selling one 400 dollar wheel for another 400 dollar wheel...

also, I didnt mean to insult you I just dont like the "ricer" type things I hear a lot of at my work "dude, get some 18's! your car will handle mad good!"

I want to slap them. ugh. "look a fire extinguisher! just like in real races!"

I want to yell "hey!look! morons! just like in real races!"

heh.its all good man, I say plenty of stupid things. trust me.-chet

dude, thats why i sold my honda. i was going crazy with people asking if i had NOSSSS and stuff. it gets pretty annoying. hahaha you gotta love kids with fire extiquishers though. everytime i see one, i laugh sooooo hard.

Post by **Onizuka** » Mon Jan 13, 2003 6:56 am

I just love the cars you see in a pepboys parking lot. they make you want to throw up. :squint

Post by **Exar-Kun** » Mon Jan 13, 2003 6:56 am

I always want to ask them if their stereo system was the fire problem, and if so, why they ****ed up their wiring like that...

or just shoot it with a b-b gun when the window is open so their "racing" bright read interior gets soaked in ABC foam...hah.-chet

<-- Always the fair guy, trying to stick up for the guy getting picked on... Don't forget SCCA Hill Climbs require a fastened fire extiquisher mounted in all partisipating vehicials. Course if you actually ran in Hill climbs or Road Races, you'd have one mounted in your car and you would know that...

I just put in a price inquiry for those nismo rims in four lug pattern, I will post their reply (japanparts...) when they reply. I wan't those things too, the price is stupid. Well, maybe if I buy them one at a time when I have the money...... hmm.

Post by **MN240SX** » Mon Jan 13, 2003 6:56 am

I am.

Your websites don't seem to be working?

They're nice rims, but stickers on inexpensive ones would be cheaper

:thinker

????? huh?

I still have not heard back, just waiting, how is their english speaking service dept? hehe

Post by **MN240SX** » Mon Jan 13, 2003 6:56 am

I am from the twin cities,

and I tried the websites in your sig and they weren't working.

Good luck on the rims!

Post by **christopher** » Mon Jan 13, 2003 6:56 am

OK, japanparts doesn't look like they are going to reply to my inquiry. I was hoping that I could talk them into a group buy situation for you guys but if they wont reply it will not work. Sorry.

Post by **midwestdrifter** » Mon Jan 13, 2003 6:56 am

lol stickers on cheap rims. heh. anyway i would like in on this goup buy, seeing as how i started this buisness.

Post by **TheProfessional** » Mon Jan 13, 2003 6:56 am

count me in as well. im waiting for CIPMOTORSPORTS.COM to sign the deal with nismo, but a group buy would be perfect!

Post by **christopher** » Mon Jan 13, 2003 6:56 am

I don't think the group buy will happen with japanparts.com, they won't communicate with me. You know what they say, communication is the key.

Let me know if anyone finds another vendor.

Post by **christopher** » Mon Jan 13, 2003 6:56 am

Ok. they finally got back to me.

They did not address my group buy question or, my four lug question but if anyone is interested here is their exact quote. Shipping will be a bit different for anyone not in MN.
