like pontiac says, wider is better. Can't beat grip. As the only part of the car in contact with the road, it's a worhtwhile improvement.

Rideon, bro, ride on......

16x6.5

I wash once a week, car gets dirty as soon as just a little water hits the salt crusted roads.

I have r32 GTS brakes (just like Z32 units) and they're not installed yet because the Z32 rear brake assemblies I bought never arrived, and my $300 is missing along with them.

I have found my self relying more and more on parts from scuttled silvia's, skyline's and fairlady Z's. Nissan designs some good parts, they just need sorting into the right chassie

Yeah its a typo, im just lazy. R32 GTR rims are 16x8, R33 are 17x9 (oh man I want these).

I think my wheels look wide because they arent tall rims and im running 225 width tires.

Not too bad. You need a beater so you can keep your 240 out of the salt.

Finally got that front end painted!

looks good matt. And I know what you mean by 16x6.5 looking wide. My 16x7s look quite wide with 225s wrapped around them.

We really need to get a small east coast NICO meet going.

i like the skyline wheels more than those blitz wheels, but the blitz are definitely nice.

i'll have to start an east coast meet thread. i want to go to these big meets, but i can't make it to arizona, and KY is still a long haul away
