Look for Black Racing or some old BBS rims. Should be able to find a set for under $500.

Good call. That is what I plan on doing myself and painting them gunmetal. They are the same rims that came on the JDM 180SX Type-X.

That is all well and good, but IMHO 14s only look good on AE86s and NA6/8s (MX-5s).

Do you have some pics of your rims? I was thinking of getting these rims to put on my 90 240. You wouldn't happen to know how much for a set or if anyone is selling?:D thanks
