Hello everyone,

I am in a personal debate and would like people's opinions. I have an s14 and am in the air about one of the following two:

(2) URAS 17x9 +15 rims ($500) or(1) R33 skyline seat ($450) (modified)

Please give me some input as I only have 3 days to decide. I cannot afford both at the moment.

Wishing you all the best,Carlos Doria

the stock s14 seat is pretty good already if you want to upgrade i'd suggest a full bucket. if you get 17x9 rims tires are gonna be anywhere from 125-190 each + install and balance. unless its used and come with tires already or something.

my suggestion would be save it until you can afford it. if you're on a budget you can look into buying a used bride/recaro/sparco bucket. it holds a lot better than any reclinable would.

Dang, those look nice. I'd say save up and buy a full set unless you already have a pair of those rims. As for the seats, I agree with with Juujai. You can find a good bucket (or reclinable) for the same price as an R33 seat if your lucky or patient.

Same specs here and I love my S15 seat. I sat in a GTR seat once. Perfect...

With R33's I do not have to worry about brackets or sliders. Also I would only be purchasing 2 rims, not 4 and would have to buy something else to match in the front. As mentioned, 2 rims or 1 r33 seat, either or.
