Anyone know the specs on a later (96+ or so) 180sx wheel?

I know they are 4x114.3 and 15", but does anyone know the width and offset and weight (approx.)?

I don't really care that they are 15", but they look pretty nice and would look definately different than stock s13 wheels. And maybe where to get them? I have seen them on ebay and I'm sure jspec could get them. Any other suggestions?

think theyre 6 inches wide. theyre the 98 nissan oem optional wheels.. jayson reliford can get them for 1100 direct brand new from nissan. you may have better luck looking for some used ones though, even though theyre kinda difficult to find used. good luck cuz im looking for some too

Thanks alot for the reply.

I was hoping they would be cheaper (I may find them used) since they are 15" and stock wheels and 6" wide, I don't really want to pay $1100. :)

I'm Running a set of these on my 89' right now. Width is 6".Off set is stock or close. I couldn't get a rim weight during the last mounting but with a 205-60-15 Yok a.v.s. Inter.s wrapped around them a single tire comes to just under 40 lbs. Not the best but thats a lot of tire. I love the wheels because the Nissan guys in the know can pick 'em out but they're not super flashy. I like that I have a relatively stock looking car that goes like stink;)

I think im wrong, the G20s have 6 spokes but they look pretty much the same, and they look good...

heh, no I didn't mean to say that yours were fake, I was meaning to say that you could get some nice looking wheels for your 240 by obtaining a g20 owner's pair. Which happen to look the same as the 180sx wheel and probaly a lot cheaper because they are not "JDM"

Thanks for the help. I'll look into the Infiniti wheels.

Yeah that 180sx ebay auction is the one that brought the 180sx wheel to my attention. It's up to $455 already and the reserve hasn't been met. Not to mention shipping is $150!!

Does anyone know if these wheels clear the Z-brakes? Maybe someone uses them with z-brakes or at least has a picture of one with Z-brakes.

Also, Could I put a 225/55/15 on this? I know toyo t1-s makes a tire this size, and it's almost the stock size. Would it look weird and bubble?

That is what I was thinking, but then again, Z-brakes clear stock s14 wheels (15x6)
