i am trying to see what style of wheels look best on the 240. I can't decide between 5 spoke or the mesh looking wheels.Please post any pics of a S13 hatch with aftermarket wheels you have.

I already searched and found nothing and i already checked out the gallery at silvia.net.

Also please state if your car is lowered and if you know Z brakes will fit behind them or not.

ThanksShawn

Here are my old wheels on my hatch. I just sold these wheels for 300 cash with tires because I got tired of them. I'm now rolling factory alloys painted black with low profile (50 series) Azenis on em.


Just another 240

here are some more of it



Rims i hate to say it are cheap *** rims, they are eagle alloys 17x7.5, with kumho supra 215x45x17 tires. rims where about 100 each, and about the same for the tires.

thanks for the complements on the car, the mainly looks that good because of the crapy camra. i have lots a little dents all over the place. well anyway i have said it i am a cheap ***. and thanks for the complements

1) I washed them nice and clean with regular dishwashing liquid.2) I sanded down the rims with 600 grit I think... (forgot which grit exactly)3) Sprayed them down with black spray as per instructions on can4) Waited 30-40 minutes then sprayed again5) Waited 30-40 minutes then sprayed clear coat6) Waited 30-40 minutes then sprayed clear coat again7) Waited a day then put the Azenis on

Here they are without tires on:http://www.disruptedperception...eels/

big body, what kinda rims were those? I had the same thing on my car, just not chrome. I couldn't find out where to buy them, because I think they are discontinued. I know it's BBS right?

My old chrome wheels were 17" Enkei Zoku

They were dipped in chrome because Enkei didn't offer them in chrome and my friend wanted them chrome. I bought them off him for 300, rode on em for a while and sold em for 300.

I miss them :( but I like the fact that I can abuse the hell out of my current setup.

Nah, I was thinking about it, but I'm not going to. I'm not real big on drifting. I'd rather do some autocross or something, but I'm still going. I still love watching it, I just don't have the money to be changing tires all the time. Are you going? There is a big thread in NICO meets about it.

Thats my old 89 240SX in its prime (b4 i sold it). Those are 16X7 Konig Reigns w/ 215/40/16 kumho ecsta supras. I think it would have looked better with a 50 series tire, but the sidewall on the 40 series made for great autocrossing!Tyler*edit* I forgot to mention, that it had eibach sportline springs as well.
