180sx rps13 rims

Post by **sohc90adel** » Fri Aug 01, 2003 7:50 am

does anyone make imitations of these rims? or know anyone that actually can get the factory ones? i know somebody was selling them on ebay once. I would love to get those rims.

look for any S14 non-se rims, exactly the same. Pick them up for $150 somewhere and sell them on ebay for $500 under 'MaD JdM TyTe 180Sx RiMsYoYoYo!!11@@!!'

Make a nice profit.

these are the rims i want, where can i get them??????

They're in the model kit.

I haven't seen those late Type X rims for sale anywhere, ever. Maybe jspec.com will have a set at some point, but haven't spotted any up for grabs yet.

EDIT: in fact, I've never seen them on a 180sx yet, let alone for sale.

Go read my first post, 95-98 non se wheels are the same as 180sx type x wheels.

Yeah, they are the 4 lug stock wheels that come on the S14 non SE. The SE wheels are 5 lug. They're still kinda hard to find but can usually be had for cheaper than 180sx wheels simply because they are USDM I assume. I'm sure some of the wheels sold on ebay are actually S14 wheels.

Also, I am sure they are the same as the 95-96 wheels, but I'm not 100% on whether they are the same as 97-98 non-SE wheels.

you think there is any diffrence at all? between the japanese and usdm, other than they are cheaper?

Post by **encasemyheart** » Fri Aug 01, 2003 7:50 am

No they are physically the same wheel. Exactly AFAIK.

I'm trying to find a non SE S14 with stock rims, usually they just have wheel covers.

encasemyheart you are almost correct i found out that the 97-98 240 non se has the 8 double spoke wheels, now all i have to do is find sombody that sells them.

Post by **encasemyheart** » Fri Aug 01, 2003 7:50 am

Found them.

This is a 97-98 base with rims. So I guess you can get any non-SE 95-98.

They went on auction on ebay not too long ago. And before that there was another guy in japan who was trying to sell them but after a couple deadbeats I think he gave up. I usually see them going for around 500 though with s+h. So check around on ebay every so often. 4 lug and will fit any 4 lug 240...sweet.

they look 1 million times better on a s13

Post by **sohc90adel** » Fri Aug 01, 2003 7:50 am

do you think i will look like an *** putting those rims on my 90 with the 180sx lights and type x spoiler? im painting my car in a couple of weeks and am thinking of that possibility.

Post by **encasemyheart** » Fri Aug 01, 2003 7:50 am

I think they would look good. I am purchasing a 180SX spoiler also.

Also FYI I did a search on car-part.com and found many many 95-98 240sx 4 lug 15x6 wheels for like $30-50 a piece in junkyards, I'm sure you could come out with 4 good condition 180sx wheels for under $200. Also since they are the same size/offset as stock S13 alloys you can swap the tires over and not have to buy new ones.

im on that hey thanks a lot

mang, those are infiniti G20 rims.

go to http://www.g20.net

and check in the classifieds.

Post by **encasemyheart** » Fri Aug 01, 2003 7:50 am

Actually they are close to G20 rims, only the offset on the Infiniti wheels is like +45 instead of the stock +40 I believe.

Good eye encase...you also can buy those wheels here, I discovered...

but be advised they are very pricey through this place (over $200 a wheel). Looks like a junkyard is a better bet.

Post by **encasemyheart** » Fri Aug 01, 2003 7:50 am

Quick question: The G20 wheels have the Infiniti centercap, will this pop out and will I be able to fit the Nissan centercap from the stock 240sx wheels in there or not?

Just so you guys know 95-96 base alloys aren't the same as 97-98 base alloys. Also those wheels could come on an kouki model 180sx not just the type x trim.

I know it's not excuusively the Type x, but much easier to type.

What's the difference between the 95-96 and the 97-98? DO you happen to have pics?
