I'm going insane looking at wheels. I drive a 95 240sx pearl white 5 lug w/z32 calipers and coilovers. There is just to many wheels to look at, just need to get some ideas. Im looking for 18x8 f 18x9 r

I have around $1500 to play with.

, but i think a good set of works would be well over $1500.check out http://www.rbmotoring.com they have lots of used sets of wheels if you dont wanna fork over the cash to get new wheels.

they were on sale at password jdm, dont know if they still are...id considered getting them but decided i needed other stuff more

as far as a $1,500 set of wheels...does that include tires, or just the wheels?

the reason i ask is because youre *very* close to that "next step" in wheels, youre so close to the price of volks or the high end works...it might be worth saving another $1-200

Hell yeah, after I save for my turbo some Takata green S1's are definately goin' on the hatch. They would look like crap on your red hatch, but green on white looks awesome...

yeah, unfortunatly, imo, the only colored wheels on a red car are probably silver, black (maybe), bronze and gold. all the skittle colors would look great on whites (esp.), blacks, and silvers (gray).

350z Track Wheels. They're forged Rays and you should be able to pick up a set for <$900. They're 18x8 & 8.5. The 06 ones are 18x8 & 19x10 or something like that.

alright then id say weds sa-70s, gram lights 57 pros, something like that would be edge of your budget

theres a TON of good wheels between $1k and $1,200 a set, but above those theres really not much at all until you look at spending $1,700 +

Not to thread jack but where is a good place to buy Gram Light wheels. Ive been looking at the 57S for a while, and hopupracing.com quoted me around 237 a piece plus 120 for shipping. PLUS they would have to special order the gold ones i wanted which would take about 3 months to recieve....Anyone know anywhere else that sells Grams'?

used im guessing? because thats over a $2,000 set of wheels new

i wouldve said something if youd said something more than $1,500, theres a ton of nice wheels in the 2k range

good choice though, definately post pics when you get them...what offsets you planning on getting?

DAMN IT!!!! i knew something like this was going to happen, as soon I decided to go with the SSRs something came up. I just saw a picture of Greddy Gravity wheels and i have gotta saw they look . I think ill have to flip a coin between the SSR SP1 in black and the Greddy Gravity in gunmetal.
