I can't seem to find decetn pic's of the wheels on the ralley cars, but if the seller si too much of a bonehead to get you a pic even if it's a polaroid he sends to you via snell mail I'd pass, the kinda look like a mix between the minilight and the iron cross wheels

remember that the 240Z uses a zero offset and the 240sx uses a positive offset, so the wheels would tuck under the 240sx and might even rub, heck might not clean the brakes

I've seen a S-13 with 280ZX 6spokes on it and it didn't look like they where tucked in too badly, but I dunno if the wheels ur lookin at are made the same way on the back side of the wheel.

I just looked at the rims today and i probaly just might go ahead and buy it. it didnt look like it had a zero offset so i dont think i might need spacers for these. but if i do i got some laying on the side. so i was thinking about what i should do. what would you 240head do, re-paint the rims black or white, or polish the wheels, or polish the lip of the wheel and paint the center black...lmk.

duh, my brain was working backwards, zero offset wheel on a positive offset car push the wheels out, they might rub the fender and if not it's only due to the fact that most wheels for the 240Z's are 6" wide at most, honestly there is plenty of maftermerket for wheels for the 240sx in the correct offset that are likely lighter and stronger and fit right and allow for using a tire wide enough to handle some grip, I don't see why you'd consider s30 wheels
