I say get 'em for a quick cheap price, you could use them for your practice and hard drift runs.


OEM Nissan wheels? or some other wheel that's not hub-centric?

I thought you were talking about factory wheels. You want a "solid" wheel, look no further than the factory 7 spoke alloy, or the ultra fancy steelie!!! Cheap, good, and(oh yeah) they are already on the car!

Yeah i was referring to both those and the ones he is asking us about actually. Ive been through hundreds of dings on the factory ones and they held up. Just didnt see the need to get fancy mess-them-up-once-and-youre-done rims.

I now change my vote to all out get 'em. :)I'm into "different" stuff and you'll never see those on some civic hatchback with 5 inch exhaust rolling down the street next to you. I'm a big fan of the stock 7 spokes, which I have on my '89 because I like them so much, but if you're into the whole old school and/or drifter thing, those wheels rock.

OEM gets boring for some people, and standing out from the 30-something year old women that think their 240 is "cute" can seem real appealing, real quick. All those multi-spoke 5zigens, Volks and the like are on every car you see. (read: played the hell out)

That is exactly why I like em. That is also why I got my wheels. Even when you get something a little nicer like Gram Lights, there are thousands of other folks that are rocking the same thing.

Here is a better pic of a similar wheel:

I'll tell you what............I'd take those weird, old school dinner plate wheels over a set of wheels from Tenzo-R any day of the week! There's this guy on campus that is running a set of Tenzo-R's with tires sized 195/40-R18!!!!!!

Wrap that one around your head for a minute or two............18x6.5!!!!

Could be, or maybe 18x7...............there are quite a few Tenzo-R wheels that are that size. Just stupid if you ask me.
