Need Help in Wheels

[rsiwicki]

Need help on wheels again....18"x8.5"

Here is my new found wheel that I want....now it says it is for FWD on some car sites (I think) cars but I saw this on a S500 about a week ago and have seen it pictured on a G35. Can somebody tell me if there is such a thing between FWD & RWD wheels for cars? Also if anybody has a connection for these...much appreciated. There is a set on ebay right now and I found a deal on the internet for about $2,100 with tires.

Also...is this a good brand?

Rob, one question: Are they forged?

If you are truely performance oriented, they must be light but strong. If I were you, I would trust HD explicitly to help you choose the appropriate wheel. Check out BBS, Volk (Rays) Nismo, and maybe SSR. Heavy cast wheels is not what you want to kill your time slips.

They fit on a G35, but I don't know about the weight yet.

Rex...you and I are looking at the same site....http://www.rimstop.com

I found the Giovanna website...says that they are "cast" whatever that means. Finding wheels I like is becoming a real pain in the a$$. The ASA's I ordered from Tirerack were nice, but the offset between the front and rear was so great (10mm) that it killed the staggered look I was going for so I sent them back.

yeah...I might just have to go with those BBS wheels in a chrome finish that you have referrenced.

They also have anice deal on AZ's desired ADR M Sports, none of the options they list are for "staggered"

Rob - They actually have a filter for "Staggered" to make YOUR browsing easier .

I had actually spotted those ADR's first and had them on order...but I got diccked around by the local rim shop. I might go back and order them off the website. The trouble I had was with the 9.5" rear.....as it was right on the edge of sticking just 1/8 past the fender line in the rear.

Are you sure about the fitment in the rear with those ADRs? ADRs are lower quality Grade C wheels made in Taiwan to fit a multitude of applications, so they "dumb" down the fitments by making them super conservative to try and work on as many cars as possible. As such, if anything, the rear wheels will still end up being about 1/2-3/4" too far IN on the back of any big nissan.

If you're looking for a super high-quality wheel with an agressive fitment, you might want to check these out:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...&rd=1That particular auction has ended, but my friend's company ordered like 15 or so similar sets. Those would usually be in the range of $600/each.. but since they're NOS units from Work Japan... that is an unbelievable price.

Whoops, just noticed he just put another set up for sale.. click on his other items for sale link.

Those are pure sex.

If they were powder-coated black, damn!

OHHHH

[rsiwicki]

thanks for the suggestion on the wheels....right now all focus on my car is to get the damn thing to stop smelling like rotten eggs.....I can't stand that smell and had no idea how bad the smell would be when I was doing the headers.

Have you tried different fuel suppliers, or some fuel additives? If it is the Sulfur, maybe you can find a gas station that does not have as poor of gas. You might try AutoZone, for some gas cologne. I saw some kind of additive, that makes your car put off different smells. This might keep you from gagging, until you can add some cats.
