I have a 97 240sx thats silver moss, looking to get some wider wheels and cant decide between a few.

Motegi Touge in Bronze i can get real cheap but not sure on how bronze would look with the silver moss. They're also a little wider then i need being 18x9 and 18x10 so dont think they would fit without some fender rolling. I know i could get them in both 18x9s but the deal i was looking at was only for the 2 different offsets.

Ruff Racing R280s in titanium: http://www.statuswheels.com/wh..._id=2

or

Ruff Racing R278s in Hyper Black http://www.statuswheels.com/wh..._id=2

Was just hoping for more opinions im kind of stuck in making a decision. There are plenty more wheels i was interested in but i can get a real good deal on any of these 3 so that kind of narrowed my decision some already.

Heres a link to some pics of my car right now: zerothread/229108

IMHO go gunmetal or black with a nice chrome lip. I think the bronze would clash w/ the silver moss unless it was really dark.

I really like each choice of the Ruff wheels, but I think I'm partial to the titanium.

Bronze:

Chrome:

Can't find any gunmetal......

How about the '06 350Z Rays Engineering wheels? Not sure how well the sizes/offsets work (18x9+30 19x10+30), but they're a nice "basic" 5 spoke forged wheel .



Though some gunmetal faced BBS RGR or RS-GT's would be NICE.

chrome = heavier = slower = uglier

Like I said theres plenty more wheels I like out there but these three i can get really cheap. The Motegis i can get for 500 and either one of the RUffs i can get for around 600. Im leaning towards one of the Ruffs but the bronze on those motegis is pretty dark so it may look ok. Anyone know the actual max size wheels I can fit in an s14 without rubbing? 10s might be a little wide im thinking.

Yuo can easily fit 10's in the back if they are the correct offset.
