I don't know why. . .It seems like I've thought that sense early highschool years. . .
To each his own I guess, I personally prefer the "concave" look like 5zigen 17x10's, or Greddy gravity (or whatever their name is) 18x9.5 with the "sunken" in look. However I do agree some wheels with a deep lip do look nice on 240s.

BATTLE'S

mb battle's = cst zero-1 hyper, same mold same company just distributed to different rim manufacturers

so next time you wana bash filliment get your facts straight

btw 18x9.5 is 23lb
I've been lookin for a spoiler for my 91 240 coupe. I think that the one on this black s14 looks really nice. I was wondering if anyone knew where i could get that or the exact brand or anything about that spoiler. Also, I want to get the mb battle rims because they are the cheapest for the looks. (I want a concave faced rim setup) Right now i have 17 x 9 r33 gtr wheels (225/40/17) and my car is lowered on stance coilovers. I'm going to use those rims and tires for the track, but I want some show rims. That's why I want to get these mb battles in 18s. I wanted both front and back to have the same concave face, but I'm not sure what offset or width to have for the front if I'm gonna have 18 x 9.5 rears. I want everything to clear with no rub on wheel wells, fenders or suspension components. I like the concave look on the rears for the black s14, so i would want to match that all the way around. Also, if you guys could let me know tire size that would match stock size so that i can actually know the speed i'm traveling at, that would be great. Also, right now with the rim and tire setup, i can barely fit my finger between the rear wheel and the lip of the wheel well (I rolled front because it's easy), If i had the rears rolled, would i have to adjust ride height to fit the 18s? Thanks in advance for answering my questions and please help me out as much as possible!! I'm new here and this is my second post.

I thought about that long and hard and i am still researching. If i can find a cheap one, i might buy it and have it on a seperate trunk. . . . . And no, my name isn't Nick Hogan!! I hate that retard. He's ruined to many cars to say that he loves them. He has no respect for drifting and goes all out all the time because he thinks hes above everyone!! Neways, the main point of that post was for the rims. Lemme know what would work.

You get the in my book! I'm not a fan of these rims so I don't really know the answer to your question. I recommend starting a new thread in the Wheels/Tire forum. Good luck man!

Love these wheels! Although I like wheels with a nice lip on them they r starting to get played out. It's nice to see something different.Can anyone guess what color that reddish R32 is? I think im going to paint my car that color.

I think I'll just throw it in here instead of creating a new thread. Have you noticed that Rota makes 4-lug P-45s now? Or is it an old news already? biggie bought a set, and I'm waiting for pics.
