Well i tried to get a TE 37 in a +15 offset, but apparently they stopped making them. Suckie. So i bought this set.

15x8 +23 4x114.3 Work equip 03 gold.

My 18's are going up for sale. I know 15's are a little small ( I really wanted 16's), but i think with the right tire and ride height this will be exactly what i'm looking for. I will probably paint them bronze because i'm not a fan of the gold, but i will see when they get here. (i'm currently painting the stock wheels the bronze, i will post pics tomorrow.

I got them at a price i couldn't pass up, because they had ordered them in for a customer and screwed up the bolt pattern, they were slightly scuffed on the outter lip, but hardl visible, they had never been mounted.

Auto RnD has been an awesome experience, i highly reccomend them. Honest, and good fast service so far. If you need anything call Rishie at auto RnD they best service and product I have received from any vendor.

For $300 difference why would anyone. I figure i have never bought any cheap parts for my car, why start now. Volk, Silk Road, Cusco and now Work.

I looked for 3 solid days to find a pic of an S13 with these wheels, no luck. I guess i will serve as a reference for anyone in the nissan community who is considering these.

How have the knock-offs served you?

Thanks guys. My wife "thinks they look gay" (not that there's anything wrong with that)

I don't think i like the gold, especially on a black car.



i think it would look better in bronze, What do you guys think?

Yes, nice dish. Mine won't have that much dish. Mine have about 2-2.5 inches. Do you have any other pics. Oh, and i still havn't found a pic of these wheels on an S13?

Greg, you got mail.

205/50 or 205/55

if you want 225s do a 50

wheels look good, too bad they only come in 15s

you would put a 205 on an 8 inch wheel?

I was thinking 215/60 which is a little taller sidewall but a small stretch. I thought a 205 would be a bid stretch?

But a 205 50 is smaller than stock radius.

15s are really a compromise because all the performance tires come in sizes catered towards smaller cars like hondas, so if you want performance tires you have to run a smaller diameter tire

theres many more stock diameter options with 16s and 17s

hankook rs2's come in 225/50/15, id say those would be your #1 option

On the Hankook canada site it's not, only a 205 is listed. The 225 is on the USA site.
