japan

but seriously they are very hard to come by because not only are they only sold in japan, new they cost an incredible amount of money (15 inch watanabe RS8s are over $340 a wheel according to Watanabe's web site)

your few options are:http://www.wheelchoice.com (or other used JDM parts store)Ebayor you have to know somebody who is sellin a set

uh, not to be a jerk or anything but drifting is just a hobby thing here in the us still. not like you are being judged, so why would you want expensive rims that you are gonna throw around turns, towards curbs? why not go to a junkyard and get some cheap *** wheels?

Maybe not in new jersey.

Come to california and it seems like there is a drift competition every weekend, and trophies are given out. You are right about one thing though, it is a hobby, now quit bashing other peoples hobbies.

DriftS13, please ignore him, I would kill for some RS8's, but I can't afford them yet. Jspec.com usually has a nice supply of rare wheels, keep them in your favorites.

SpeedRacer1, on that second ebay link that you provided, will those bolt right up to a '97 240? I really want some gunmetal rims with a polished lip and that price is too good.

If you have 4 lug hubs they will. They are advertised for a 4 lug prelude or accord but the 240SX 4 lug also has a 4 x 114.3 however the offset is different from stock 240 wheels so im not an expert on how that will effect things.

Generally, Honda lugs are 4 x 100. I don't know that they will fit.

USDM Civics and Integras are generally 4x100. I do believe accords, preludes and (older) JDM Civic & Integra Type R's that came in 4 lugs are 114.3 which is the same as S13's.

Seems like they never get new wheels but http://www.wheelchoice.com sometimes has great wheels for sale. Also check out club 4AG's classifieds. But like Buud said the easiest is to get some from http://www.Jspec.com

You are correct. My 5Zigen's from my 94 accord fit my 89 240sx. The offset isn't perfect but that may just be an illusion due to my current 4x4 status. Also they are only 7" :mad:

Ludes and 4cyl Accords are all 4x114.3
