Choosing Rims

[speed_freak0260]

Are there any good looking rims for 4-lug S14's or is it better to do the 5-lug swap.

[SK240SX]

if you got the time and money, do the swap.if you're on a budget like me, i'm sure you'll find something out there if you look hard enough.

[speed_freak0260]

I've looked and can't find any. And the dam swap cost almost as much as rims.

[n240sxfnatic]

just google 4 lug rims that are 114.3 and see if there are any you like in a low offset if you cant find any its up to you if you want 5 lug but there are more offsets and wheels availible for 5 lug

[n240sxfnatic]

if you post some pics of ur call and some wheels you might like i can photoshop them on so u can see what it looks like

[adrianfromthecastle]

in my honest opinion, i'd just do the swap.

the low offset wheels you see in 4 lugs are intended for s13's and i think the offset isn't aggressive enough for the s14.

if you plan on uber flushness w/ ballerness wheels, then go 5 lug.if not, then don't waste your money.

nissan was playing a joke when they made base 14's in 4-lug

there are PLENTY of nice 4 lug wheels, but you're probably not going to get the baller size and offset you're lookign for unless you go 5-lug

[speed_freak0260]

Gram lights are sweet *** rims

[n240sxfnatic]

you would want spacers for a flush look but gram lights are very sexy

[speed_freak0260]

Im going to go outside and take a pic so you could maybe photoshop it.

You can get Konig Rewinds and those JDM wheels like that look like them, i forget their names. They come in some insane widths and offsets... and they are 4 lug, 13", 14", 15", 16" (i think they go up to 18 even.. not too sure...) they look like something off a tank.. and i remember once seeing custom ordered 15"x12 in like a frickin -30 offset or something like that... but anyways I went with 5 lug swap anyways... more options.

15's on an s14 is a bucket of fail. Ideally, you'd want 18's... you can barely pull it off with 17's, but 18's on a 14 is perfect.

and yeah, like n240sxfnatic said, you'd want spacers if you're gonna run the 17 x 9.0 4 114.3 +35. For a 9" Id shoot for offsets under +20, (assuming you have some sort of lowered suspension).

^^ haha.. its just like my buddy's... cept he's running s13 se wheels up front and dummies in the rears

if I were you, i'd just keep a look out for s14 se hub and knuckles at the junk yard. its a direct swap, and cheaper than spending 300 on some ichiba hubs or something. at my local pick-a-part, they sometimes have like half-off days, and you can probably pick up all for se hubs for like $100 or maybe even less.

lol... thats actually not a bad photoshop... can you photoshop some big brakes while your at it?

[speed_freak0260]

The JDM ones are called RS Watanabe. Its R-type line offers very low offsets and deep dish. They go up to 16inches and are commonly on Nissan/Datsun 240Zs and Toyota AE86s. They come in either aluminum or magnesium. Probably half the weight of the Konigs and 5x s the price.

Very nice photoshop work.

Some watanabe 4 lug samples. Watanabes are Japanese drift car standard equipment.

Couldn't find a sample picture of these wheels on a S14. Closest is a S13. Watanabe is a wheel manufacturer just like any other. They do make wheels in various offsets that can fit various cars.
