These are only temp wheels untill I finish the rest of my car but i'm getting them as a direct trade for my curent wheels... so not bad IMO

I think it's

+32

+38

Still not great offsets, but they look a hell of a lot better then my ricer wheels.. I think it's a good trade up (hehe I got more $$ from selling my other wheels then I paid for them in the first place... silly ricers)

Actually these look a lot like your wheels

What tires are you going to run?

I'm assuming a 205/55 and 225/50 stagger?

Not importaint right away but... anyone know where I can buy new barrels for these wheels>?.. maybe 8 or 9 inches wide with a better offset....

Not yet naed240sx... these come with tires, it's good because I can save up for a nice set and not have to put out $500 for tires right away, ontop of the $400 for the wheels.

New barrel's will never be worth it, because they cost more than the wheels themselves. I really wanted to reshell my old ones, but since new barrel's have to be custom, it is not worth it.

Nismofly knows of some places that make them.

Nope 4x114.3

I can find VERY little information on them all I know is that they are made by Racing Beat which is also Racing Heart.

I found the Mazda Racing Beat... That seems to be a completely different company.

Wheelspecs.com says Racing Beat Wheels are made by Racing Hart... I already looked at Kodiak.. And yeah seems like it would cost a fortune to get new barrels.

Thanks for the info Chris
