Thanks... I can tell from your photo that we like the same color 240, but have complete opposite tastes in wheels.

Looks good flys-lo...how's the ride? Any complaints from passengers of it being too stiff?

Thanks Darius! I wish I could tell you. Fact is, that's the farthest it's ever travelled, from the garage to the driveway for the photo and back inside. The engine is in the planning stage for custom pistons, rods, for the turbo and is 10 minutes work away from being pulled. But the 25 foot ride was extremely smooth - I can proudly say! And I didn't even bend a rim like some said I would!

I'm not saying the car isn't clean. What I'm saying, is 19's on a 240sx like that is Ghetto. Maybe on a big car like a Supra or Mustang I MIGHT put 19's on for show. But it's all bling bling on a 240. 17's are plenty fine for that car.

Nice car! I'm not a fan of wheels that large or in that colour but as long as you're happy, that's all that matters. :D
