I found these a while ago when someone posted them saying they resembled the Nismo gt4 wheels. They are 16's so I don't lose as much performance. The size and spoke design looks like it will clear the 26mm Z-brakes. They come in the 4 lug bolt pattern. 7.5 inches wide in the front with 22mm offset and 8.5 inches in the rear with a 37mm offset. They are not the best looking wheels ever, but they do look pretty nice. The best part is, the wheels are $440 for all without tires. My only concerns are:

1. What are the widdest tires I can fit in the rear? I know it is a bit more difficult to find bigger tires for 16 inch wheels. I can get a good deal on some toyo tires (T1-S) so I was probably going to get some 245's in the rear. However, I also want to lower it at most 2 inches (whiteline, H&R, or Prokit). What tire sizes do you all recommend? I was thinking 245/45/16 in the rear but what in the front? 235/45/16. Here is the spec sheet http://www.toyo.com/tires/tire_specsheet.cfm?id=2

2. How do I go about getting these wheels from? I tried e-mailing them, but I don't know if they would be able to read the message. Is there any way I can get jspec.com or a company that gets shippments from japan to get them for me? Does anyone here speak japanese or go there often? Another problem is shipping might kill me.

Sorry for the long post, but I would really appreciate any help.

Thanks, Johann

i think i am the one who posted those. you can probably get them from any shop thatcan get parts from Japan. i asked signal auto out here in CA if they could get them and they said yes but i really didnt have the money. i would try JSPEC.COM. sam could probably get them for you.

225-50-16 and 245-45-16 would be a nice setup, its what the 300ZX's ran with its OE staggered setup.-chet
