[KA-Te]

They're chrome Motegi Touges.

Front 18X7.5 +45Rear 18X10 +30

Bolt pattern 4X4.5

These were the only 2 sizes they made for 4 lug.

Next stop is tires and spacers!

Pics are in my gallery (Link in my sig)

OMG!! This is some major BLING BLING!!! I'm not a fan of chrome rims, but nice find. Yeah, not many nice looking wheels are available for 4 lugs. Do you mind telling us where you got them and how much? How about your suspension setup? I'm curious...

[KA-Te]

Yeah, no problem. I got em from this guy: http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQfg...esale

They were $900 + shipping.

Right now I have stock suspension. I'm not putting the wheels on till I get my new suspension.

My friend is getting Ksports, so I'm going to see how they ride, and if they're nice, I'm probably going to go with them.

[madcowvert]

cant wait to see them on the vert

[donmeca2020]

nice!!!

[94_240sx]

Thanks for the info. I checked out all rims in ebay link you gave me, and yours is the best looking one there. It kinda reminds me of R32 OEM rims especially in this picture. I think you made a good decision. Because of the rims size, tires will be bit pricey too I guess. Yeah, definitely let me know how you like KSports. I'm about to buy a set of coilovers in July or Aug.

[DeXteR]

that's hot - chicks who work on cars. i was fortunate enough to find one of you for myself. keep up the work and nice find on the wheels.

[KA-Te]

Hey thanks....

btw, which fuse did you pull to get your lights to stay on with your sleepy eyes?

[AZhitman]

K8, those rims are awesome, good choice.

[sleepyeyes87]

Kate- first off, those rims are clean. second, there are a few was to get the lights to stay on with the sleepy eyes up. The easiest (and cheapest) is to add in a few wires and switches to your relay box in the engine bay. It's quasi-ghetto but it works. I'll have to find the diagram and instructions if your interested.

[KA-Te]

Thanks, but I actually searched for it and found that I only had to pull the 5amp fuse.

See, my headlights popped up but wouldn't go down. If I wanted sleepy eyes I had to turn the headlight motors manually.

But thanks!!

[KA-Te]

After I got my wheels mounted on my tires, I couldn't wait any longer... so we put em' on w/o spacers or coilovers for now... there's wayyy too many pics to post.. they're in my gallery, but here's a preview:

[Nick240sx]

are you single? cause i definately like the idea of being with a female 240 owner

[jonesbplayer]

WOW thats all I can say is WOW. Now I want a set. How much would those set me back of you don't mind me asking. And do they have em in black?

[jonesbplayer]

i checked out your gallery and those rims look gangsta on that car. Nice touch with the sleepy eyez. You are by far the coolest chick on the planet!

[KA-Te]

they have them in black w/ a polished lip. http://www.motegiracing.com/wh...desc=

I got them from a guy on ebay. They were $1000 shipped. The tires are Kuhmos and they were $430 shipped from tirerack.

Here's almost a side view

[KA-Te]

I need spacers for the front and coilovers.

And I'm getting my 300zx brake conversion on Wednesday!

And thanks for the compliments, guys!

These are the first set of "rims" I've ever got for any car I've ever owned, so I'm pretty proud of them.

[KA-Te]

OH!, and before we put them on my car, we put 2 of em on my boyfriend's (sorry Nick! ) s14:

[Nick240sx]

hahaha the rims look great on both

[sensibleS13driver]

why the 2.5 inch stagger?

[ca18datsun510]

why the bigger profile sidewalls on the rear? that on purpose?

[one ton garage]

Hmm, you went a little beefy with that rear tire... a smaller section width and aspect ratio would have afforded you a lot more clearance w/o rubbing, and w/o needing to process the fenders (rolling, and/or pulling). Also, larger rubber will be A LOT more sluggish to drive unless you have the hp to turn them. The fronts will benefit greatly from 25mm spacers... project kics pieces would be your best bet there.

[KA-Te]

why the 2.5 inch stagger?

They only make 2 sizes in 4 lug- 18X10 & 18X7.5 so I was kinda limited in what sizes I could do.

why the bigger profile sidewalls on the rear? that on purpose?

yeah, I should've gone with a 40 series instead of a 45, but what are ya gonna do after the fact? Next time I'm definately getting a 40 series!

[96Turbo]

45's will save your rims from dents and side damage, a little bit. Slows you down allitle but hey, you have chrome 18's, you knew that when you bought them;) real nice, they look hot and really add to the lines on the vert
