He asked opinions, he didn't like the response.

What was the point in asking? Nevermind that for now...

What does SilentDrifter <like> about the wheels??

No way. If you are going to get wheels like that with some dinner plate sized thing mounted to the center of them, you might as well get 20's with those stupid spinning things. At that point, at least your silly dinner plate wheel addition would do something, like move.

OK. apparently all you are to cool for the old school.Grow up.Live like the MEN who raced the old cars did and realize there was a point to those solid wheels.the wheels we all sport now would dent once and get thrown away. These are the old masters of wheels thast could take a lick and keep on ticking.

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

How come you have to get all personal, and imply that those of who know those wheels are wack, are little boys? I'd take a new, easily dinged, three piece Volk or OZ Racing wheel over those thick, wack, supposedly tough, "old school" JDM-ghey rims any day.

To each his own, that's only fair. Homeboy asked what we thought of them. It seems that about 90% of the people who have replied, tend to think that they are lame. Does that make us lame for stating our opinions, nope? At least, I hope not. If it does, this is going to be the last time I give my opinion to some sensitive little kid, who is looking for affirmation that his poor taste in wheels is really okay, and "old school JDM cool".

Ah, yes, factory Nissan alloys would be a good choice.

Never deviate from original equipment. I love you all, no matter what wheels you use. Just don't expect everybody to agree, or understand what makes you like them.

I like the factory alloys, but some people's first move is to ditch the OEM stuff, even though OEM are usually the strongest, some of the lightest, and are no doubt the cleanest(basic in appearance) wheels available. And, OEM saves you money. :)
