18's look dumb on 240's 99% of the time.Plus, those are undoubtedly like 18x7.5 +35.

Not bad, but 18" rubber isn't cheap, unless you go with cheap tires .

They look like OZ Racing superleggera's, and I'd suggest looking for something in a 17" to give you better prices at a better price.

Just my 2 cents.

i'm really having a hard time finding a set of wheels in the right size/style within my buget I would like to spend as little as possible but I got upto $500 to spend with wheels and tires I know... that's a tight budget... I don't want 15s.. to small so stock SEs are out... I prefer 17s

I really am looking for something like Nismoflys wheels I like the six spoke look.

I had a hard time finding rims for my s13 as well, but saved up the money and found a mint used set of SSR Integral A2 (16x7f, 16x8 rear) for like $480 at passwordjdm.com. I don't recommend going over 17" for the 240sx chassis, its more cost effective and you get the best choices. Try finding used sets like at the site I just mentioned or on ebay. Stay away from offsets higher than +35, or they'll look super-sunk in your wheel wells. There should be some links to check out in the Wheel/Tire/Suspension forum.

if its a daily, 15s or 16s, if you track it and need to fit bigger brakes no more than 17s...i plan on getting 17s along with a 5 lug conversion and a stoptech brake kit, needless to say a ways down the road

that said on the opposite end of things i had no intention of buying wheels then i saw a thread about kosei's being on sale and like 12 hours later i had spent $450 for a set of wheels

until i got them on i didnt realize how much better a nice set of good looking wheels changed the look of the car, im so glad i did it now

Just keep an eye out on ebay, wait for the right deal, the right wheels, don't get impatient. You really don't want ADR wheels anyway, they are heavy and weak.

I'd avoid ADR to begin with, heavy as poo.

18s, well, everyone's given that speech.

I also would be willing to bet that the width and offset are crap.

Cheap, quality wheels that aren't ridiculously heavy and don't look like crap are rare.

Mine were $408 for the set, 17X7 4X114.3 19lbs (lighter than my stock 16X6s by 4lbs each, figure that one out) and can take a bad pothole. They'd fit your car no problem, but being anthracite with a polished lip, I'm not sure how they'd look. I can't fit anything wider than a 17X7.5 and a 225 series tire, if I was lucky, but you definitely could, too bad they don't offer the same wheel in a 17X8 or more in that pattern.

Get some used JDM wheels, not cheese-o-poop ADR rice-tabulous 18-inchers.

Oh, and 18's look just peachy on S14's and 15's, they just tend to look a tad odd on S13's.

Anyway, try ebay for used Japanese wheels, just search for "JDM, wheels", then sort by price, highest to lowest (to filter out the steering wheels).

Also, try RBMotoring's site, they have a bazillion wheels for sale.

EDIT:

Here you go, uber-JDM-tizyte Kei Office Modia wheels, perfect fitment, with tires, for $475 Buy-It-Now. Buy them or suck.

Edit AGAIN (just because I'm such a f**king nice guy)....

Get these if you wanna go SUPER cheap and just be cooler than everyone with your overseas stock-ness. Yes, theyr'e stock 180sx rims, and yes, they're mind-numbingly inexpensive. Buy them and powdercoat them bronze, and spend the extra money on NICE meaty tires.
