I am sick of rocking the steelies, and my cousin tells me to invest in a bigger turbo, but I REALLY want a set of wheels other then these stockers. Then I will do the Differential, then I will do the turbo.

My question for all you S13 owners out there

take a look at my car http://www.cardomain.com/id/got2b240

then tell me what rims/tires and specific sizes that would look best on my car. I look around, and I dont know what would fit and ride the best.

I am a noobie to this rims/tires scene, and I should be flamed for it but I just want some insight from some of you who already know what would look best and fit/ride best for me.

what are you going to be doing with the car (just driving, drag racing, autox, mountain runs, road course, etc.)and what is your budget?

There were some nice 4 lug volks with tires over in the 4 sale section a day or so ago. They were a light gun meral I thnk. I'd get em if I had 4 lug hubs.

Most the information is available on the search, but make sure you get a +30 offset or lower... Personally. I would look for some old BBS or 240Z style rims. Try club4ag.com's buy/sell forum too.. they always have nice wheels... those AE86 kids know their wheels

Apologies if the Club4ag plug is unacceptable... Ill remove it at mod's discretion. Im simply trying to send the guy in a good place for wheels. NICO > ALL

deezlins are right, the first question is what kind of driving are you going to be doing?

also how much price wise are you thinking?

Car in question ...



I'd say look for some G35c, 350z or even Murano take off's assuming you can sport the 5 lug.

If you're still sporting the 4 lug, then check out the Buy Sell Trade section as many guys are unloading their 4 lugs, now that they have upgraded to the 5 lug.

Also, do you need to take any clearance issues into account for either Z-Brakes or coil overs?

IM me at MisterTwoForty on AIM. I have a set of '04 Spec V rims that would look great on that car. The tires have about 8k miles on them.
