Need help identifying my rims.

General discussion forum about the 240sx, and a great place to introduce yourself to the board!

One of my center caps broke and I'd like to try to find a replacement one, but have no clue who the manfacturer is.



Is there a certain place I should look to find the brand name?

Thanks!

Does your car have no motor in it or did you lift the front? lol

It should say somewhere on the wheel any sort of numbers or letters would help you. Not to be an a** but in all seriousness i would put whatever money you were going to put towards replacing that piece which will prove difficult, and just set it aside to start saving for something. Id rather rock stock wheel IMO but they could be worse. Try taking it off and seeing if anything is written/stamped/engraved on it, or just to get a better pic for identification. Good luck

Yeah I dunno what that's about. It is nice being able to change my oil without having to raise the car up, though.

I mean if it cost me $10 I'd probably get it just to have consistency. I mean hell they came with the car, and I bought the car for $700. It does its job (gets me to/from my dayjob, jockeys pizzas around) and has been fairly easy to work on. I can't complain. If I still have the car when I've got some money to throw around, I may look into restoring it a bit more (it has a lot of frame rust... it spend the majority of its life in Virginia) but right now I've got bills to pay.

Good luck[/quote]I'll give that a shot... There are a couple markings stamped on it (not letters, but maybe a logo)

Your car looks pretty clean from the picture. Could use a mudguard delete & some lowering springs or coilovers, though. (& new wheels of course lol)

Don't worry about getting knocked on for your wheels. A lot of guys on this forum will hate on you until you can't bare to log in anymore, if you don't have baller status wheels.

I personally don't like your wheels, but if you think they look fine, good. It's YOUR car do what YOU want with it. Don't let others discourage you. I caught an entire thread full of put downs when I bought my wheels, but it doesn't matter because I like them.

If you can't find the center cap that goes on the wheel, take your car to Discount Tire (or any tire/rim shop) & ask them if they can find you some generic looking cap that matches. Replace all four if you can't get one like the others. It shouldn't be too expensive. Good luck

Yeah I was surprised how decent the interior and exterior look. There's a few spots where paint is peeling. I need to find out what color (it's not stock... was originally the light blue color... titanium?) and get it touched up. As I mentioned further up, if I had some money to blow I'd probably get it repainted the same color blue that the newer 350z's are.

My priorities are a little different than most here. I mean hell my sig contains a banner regarding fuel economy :-D ... I'm more interested in mechanical aspects than aesthetics. The only aesthetic aspect that bothers me is lack of symmetry. I don't mind the wheels, but the lack of that one center cap bothers me, yanno?

I already have back problems and due to my night/weekend job (pizza delivery) I get in/out of my car anywhere from 30-70 times a day. The ride height works for me

I mean i was in marching band and on the computer programming team in high school. I can take "criticism" ... It bothers me more that it's off topic, heh.

Hey I'll even open myself for more torment. Can anyone ID the muffler?



The sides of it are some ort of metal weave.
