I'd say somewhere between 6 and 7 inches... you can see them in the corner of these pictures of another set of wheels he had for sale.





if they're wider, I'll consider it a bonus:) I got them primarily to use for the new monthly drift day that is starting in Tampa (see sig)

I like mine better, They cost me an arm and a leg but they are exactley want I wanted. Its not like you can buy a set of Southern Ways every day anyway. Gonna refinish em and pimp the sh*t out of them.

And here is one from about a year ago... original rims...

Here is how she looked as of last week...

She was rolling on those old Z31 Turbo rims off that chassis in the background due to these tires...

Those tires have about 17k miles of use on them... they were AutoX on, left a little over inflated, rotated, then dismounted and crossed (they were asymetric, but I crossed them anyway, left tire on right wheel, etc), and rotated some more. Tried to get as much life out of them as possible, but then it started to get rather cold with chances of snow and all and thanks to the racing idle on the beater in the back ground (200sx that I'm considering selling) I had to drive the Z... so I needed non-bald tires.

Oh, and they're 18x8 & 18x9. Offset was a little off, but I took care of that.Front tires were almost brand new... one rear is good, other is balding...Otherwise, a good deal. $700 cash. Picked them up from the seller in NY on Saturday.

Oh, and I found them on ebay... just have to search randomly... normally I search sizes, then offsets, then other weird **** to find them. I was searching 5x114.3 at the time when I found the Superleggeras. I also found my buddy a set of RP01s for $414. 17x9s. ^_^

got my wheels today! just in time for the drift event this weekend :pface I'll have tons of pictures of them there!

they are soooo much better looking in the sunlight (compared to the ebay pictures), the lip is still bling and there is NO curb rash whatsoever! The damn things look almost new...

here's the specs off the back of the wheel...

Made by Enkei. 15 x 7, and they have about a one inch lip on them. Offset : 35. bolt pattern is 4x114.3... no idea on the weight, but they feel pretty light.
