those wheels are nice. I personally want a set with a nice deep lip for my S14 but those are definitely cool. definitely go 17s with a good offset.

I found out you can put 300zx calipers on 240sx rotors, or you can have 300zx rotors drilled out for 4 lug. It's on the Articles page. should help with all you suckas with 4 lug rims

clubsx wasn't a sucka before but now he is. you people and your 4 lug rims. ha. just kidding.

I wish I knew about offsets. what are you thinking about, 8 inch wide wheels? Once again I say go to cardomain and look at what everyone else is doing. THat's all I know to do.

I just ordered the eibach springs off ebay! First thing Ive bought to actually improve my car beyond stock, everything I've done up til the paint job has been to get it back to stock.

next thing I"m gonna do is get 300zx calipers from autozone and rotors from brembo. I decided to do this after that time I went mountain driving behind my cousin's Mustang GT and fried my brakes til I had no stopping power.

I might make a cardomain site someday too. But for now it's an awesome place for me to get ideas for what I want in my car. I picked my color there and I figured out what springs I want and generally found a lot of things I liked that I may or may not use. Just find a car that looks how you want yours to look with the wheels and everything and just look at their list of parts and stuff and just copy them.

that is one nice S13. reminds me of the purple RB25 powered one Mckinney Motorsports built that got me hooked on 240s years ago. you should definitely go for that. are you gonna have your car up and running by march 18th for the meet? it would be a shame if it weren't there..

It needs new tires also and i figure, at one point im going to buy rims so, should i spend like $200 shipped for s13 tires then buy $600 rims later or should i buy the rims now with free shipping, free balancing, etc. thats kind of the way i look at it.
