I think you should keep away from these wheels, they look like they will be sunken as hell.

Razi is right, they will be sunken like the titanic. Keep the stock ones, they will look a million times better than those wheels.

I don't know the specific model but I had a freind who had some five-spoke volks with that same recessed machined area under the spokes as those do.

There should be obvious indication on the wheels though, these smell like knockoffs.

Once you test fit them, and you see how sunken they are.Don't buy em and keep the wheels you have now.

Don't buy wheels, anticipating needing spacers. Save your money and run OEM until you can buy wheels that fit. Do it right the first time.

And I really can't even fathom how anyone on these boards can even consider buying a set of wheels without knowing the diameter, width and offset.

That sort of critcal thinking and logic has no place in 240 general. It could undermine the whole system!

im mostly buying them for the tires, all of my current tires all all different sizes and the front are getting pretty warn out.

im paying 200, which is cheaper then what i can get 4 tires for. the wheels a really clean and the tires are almost brand new. he got them off of a 240 so im guessing it will look fine. im still going to get more info on them before i buy and will let you all know how it turns out. i just found out about the wheels and was just wanting to know if anyone could tell what kind they are.

lol no.Have you ever seen the majority of the 240sx's in the 240 section?A lot of them have sunken, ugly wheels.

Because it was on a 240sx, doesn't mean it will look good.

Hate to say it, but NICO sure does have its share of ricers in 240gen.

Those are made by BSA. Usually a very inexpensive wheel that tends to copy or "knock off" design cues from top manufacturers. I don't know the exact model, but this should get you searching in the right direction.

The same company that manufactures this gem.

I dunno, $200 for 4 good tires, with wheels may not be a bad deal, can't really see the condition of the tires though. Hmm.. BSA, they make okay wheels, but the offset on those look pretty high indeed, gonna need some major spacers...25mm or more... buy the wheels, keep the tires, sell the wheels.
