Hey guys wsup....im new here and i always wanted to get a 240sx but never got a good shot..well im glad to say i just bought my first 240 and its a 1998 kouki with 109,000 for $3500 :-) im very happy with my find now the question i have is.......a freind of mine is selling me some axis hiro 19in wheels for 325.....which is a hell of a deal from what i can see but the question is.....how would a 240 look with 19s....i have seen 18s but not any 19s......would it be possible for ppl to post pics of their 240s with 19s

Thanks :-D

here she is......

Nice kouki, it's very clean! I would spend that $325 on a 5 speed swap instead of wheels first but that's just my opinion. Here's a zenki with 19's I think... zerothread?id=441144

[S7rfullthrottle]

wouldnt it cost more than 325 for the 5 speed swap? lol and i also need to do the 5 lug conversion.......the zenki looks nice but i think the 19s are a bit much.....but thats just me i think it would look better with 18s

[brizanden]

18s are a pain to fit if your lower then stock. i cant imagine 19s. if u have decent offset and widness you gotta roll and then if you arent amazingly stiff your gonna rub up front. at least in my case, but it does look good

[S7rfullthrottle]

so i assume 17s are your best bet??

[240lookis]

i say 18s on s14.

try 19s though.

[alms24sebring]

17s/18s are good. I feel 19s are too big and would look nasty. thats like a 255/5/19 tire...holy christ ride quality

Man, lucky you are to nice kouki I was gonna go take look at it. but you beat me to it. (sigh) let me know if you help doing 5spd swap. I'm not that far from Irving, TX. keep it clean man

[numbnuts240]

nice find. has it been repainted? it looks more like blue emerald than it does cobalt green. also, what's up with the black mirrors?

here is my car with 19s in the back .....

i like that s14 color. wheels looks cool

[xrproto07]

Live in the Dallas Area and saw this ad on craigslist.....was looking into it but saw it was a automatic so decided to pass on it lol

Good start though mane, should definatley look into getting a five lug swap before wheels though just my 2cents

[sean@z1]

sweet kouki very clean

[KoukiTony]

lol nice Kouki man. i saw it on craigslist over the past couple of weeks. glad to see someone finally bought it, and good job getting the price lowered. we're practically twins now haha

^^^ You talk like your Yoda dude. The force is strong with this one!

To OP:That is a very nice find! Congrats and please take care of it. I would also agree that you might want to think hard about going to 5 lug. Check Ebay for the best price. You can get the whole set for like $300 shipped. I also say 18" wheels are perfect for your Kouki. I have 18" wheels for my Kouki and I have 17" wheels on my Zenki (pic below in sig).

i got the whole 5 lug swap off an s14 for sale and can deliver to irving. 400

[SeVa-S13]

Welcome. Don't make thread titles in caps, thanks.

19's are too big imo.

[240carcrazy]

nice car wish i could have came cross sum thing this sweet

[jeff420]

something that really confuses me if why that car is still for sale on craigslist....those are the pics off the craigslist ad. which was updatwed today. btw car has 119k

[MikeyKaVert]

yeah definately go 5spd swap. the wheels look fine for now. it doesnt really matter what order you get it in, but IMO, you should go ahead and go for 5spd...REALLY NICE FIND!! take care of her...please

[S7rfullthrottle]

-_- i apparently dont have it anymore.......the seller and i made a deal of 3500 i gave him 2000 on the spot because thats all i had and i told him it was a sort of deposit to let me take the car and take it to the nissan dealer and a guy in irving...german sanchez...hes like a 240 guru, hes been in magazines........anyway so i did that yesterday and i got a call from him that a guy from CALIFORNIA.........thats right CALIFORNIA is offering him 5000............you have no idea i POed i am......that being an understatement.....though there were some issues like the airbag in the steering wheel wasnt there.......it was empty as if it had deployed already but still for 3500 it was a steal....i was a bit skeptical because of how cheap it was......but unless im will to top 5000 by saturday i cant have the car cuz the cali guy is coming on saturday -_- i hope karma bites him in the butt lol

[s14derrick]

if you already gave him a deposit to hold it then he shouldnt sell it. if the airbag had been deployed and the guy is willing to sell the car you already payed some money on thats kind of sketchy. dont pay over 5000 for it. im sure you can find a 5 speed kouki for less then 5 k. maybe even an already swapped kouki.
