Hey guyz . . I need ideas on which rims to get for my 94 240sx . . I've got almost everything except suspension and rims planned out . . .I want the ones that are 3 lug . . the ones that the drifting silvia's in japan use . .u know which one i'm taing about? anyway, it's either that or some really bid and wide gun-metal rims . . preferabbly more than 8 spokes . . and 5 lug, cause i can't deal with 4 lugs, it's just discusting... which rims are light and look nice? post links, pics, anything that can help . . .

thanx

Dude, easy on the sake. You have a new '95 SE, right? When you say "lug", you mean "spoke", as in 3 spoke wheel? The three spoke wheel I think you're talking about is the Yokohama Advan. I'm not sure where to get those specifically, but I've found the following links to be helpful in shopping:

Good luck and let us know what you come up with.

This is the wheel that I want . . I found it on the Advan website, but it was in japanese so I don't know how much it goes for . . I'll be needing 2 pairs of rims for my car, one huge pair for shows and one that's very light weight and excellent for racing . . not to mention high quality, durable, and really hot.

here's the Advan Generation II...

My car's like a purplish / navy color right now but it's on it's way to Signal Auto in CA for body work and the Target s15 wide-body kit plus custom flared rear bumper and fenders . . and the c-wings carbon fiber wing, as well as the carbon fiber vented hood, and all the body goodies. It was a bit under 15k . . but trust me . . it'll be worth it when I get it back in like 2 -4 months. They're gonna do a jet black paint job for me afterwards, which I didn't ask how much it would be. Yeah, those rims are ill, but what I really want are Nismo LM Magnesium ultra light weight wheels . .they are 18" and only weigh 17.8lbs i believe. That's according to the wheel weight guides. As for show . . I haven't decided yet, but I want something with a lot of spokes, :-D. I think when they're done . .they'll probably put me on their website as customer cars . . hehehehehe

~****, I just spent 15k on body work, oh well . . only leaves me about 35k for the rest of the car, hahaha~

I don't want to jinx anything, so I'll just post pics instead. I don't like talking **** without backing it up, so just wait a month or so guyz... you'll see.

1 for autox1 for race/show (600+HP)and maybe 1 for daily driving (autox one probably)

The 4 lug as far as I can tell don't come in anything bigger than a 16" so if ya want bigger, do a 5lug conversion and look in the s14/s15 sections.
