Alrighty - well heres the deal - Been looking for a set of stock wheels for my car to help achieve a better price on getting my car up and running (I hate the fact 18" tires are so expensive), so I've been in the market for looking for 16" wheels. Granted, I might have run across a set of SE wheels (thankfully close) for a good price - but what I would like to know (and could see this helping another young adult that is in a bind for money) is what other OE wheels can fit on the the 240SX (5 lug) Yes, I know, anything (practically) with a 114.3 x 5 pattern, but what looks good with it.

I looked into trying to find some ole 89 RX-7 wheels, teh mesh, but wasn't quite sure how they'd look on a kouki 240.

Cliff notes.

What other OE wheel of any make looks good on the s13 and s14 chassis that might not be Nissan?

And P.S. pull a part sucks in the jackson metro area of MS.

EDIT - Pictures would be great

Z32 wheels fit. Spooled240 (I think) has a set of mustang cobra wheels that look bad a$$. Basically just find out the offset of the wheels you have that fit well. If the wheels you are looking at have a different width/offset, add/subtract accordingly. It's really not that difficult. The style of wheel is personal preference. What is just as important if not more is how they fit.

Btw, there is a wheels/tires section! Gawd, how many times have I said this in one week!

And OP, you've been here longer than me so you don't have an excuse.

^ OEM wise, those probably looks the best for 16's. z33 wheels look good too but they're 18's and yeah, tires are expensive.

I think z32 wheels look better than the stock se wheels.

if you are just looking for something to roll around on maxima wheels or altima wheels will work.

mazda meshies will look good.

SEs go for 100s a set or less in florida

any SN95 and newer mustang wheel will work. decent offsets and range from 15s on up.

I see them all over craig's list too...... its almost impossible to not find something in your price range(what is it anyway).

Price range. . .mehhhh

Well I've become in contact with a fellow niconaut in Alabama, and it looks like I will be purchasing some OE SE wheels.

I felt the need to start the thread just to where people could find out if they didn't want to pay high dollar for a set of wheels/tires, they could find another vehicles OEM wheel that would look decent on the 240.

But the R33-34. Defiently no no. Granted they look good. But I can get such a better price on 16" tires. . .

I understand that the wheels center them self with the lug nuts but how important it is for the center bore size to be 66.2mm or 66.1 can't remember? I seen some wheels that are 67 and 68 would this affect the ride?
