lilpiton- My car does look like that only black, no bumper support and no pop up lights!! Going with Silvia conversion.

[tEknoS13]

Good to hear your getting it done yo! Once its warm & dry out Im making a trip down to midway where I hear a Pick-n-Pull has LOADS of 240s!!!

Yea man thanks. I don't know about LOADS of 240's but you do find some at times. What parts are you looking for?

[mRodiek]

I need alot, hopefully S14 seats but Im gonna look for S13 ones, Maybe a plastic center trim, if I can find any SE wheels, gas tank strap...I think thats it lol

[tEknoS13]

What plastic center trim? For the tail lights? I got 2 of those if thats what you are looking for.

[mRodiek]

lol no sorry inside the car around the stero/shifter etc

[tEknoS13]

oh too bad. I think frsport sells those new but not sure how much

[tEknoS13]

Hey guys Im in a little predicament here. My wheels of choice have come down to:

Rota P45R's 17x9Offset: +30Bolt Pattern:4x114.3Color: Sport Bronzehttp://www.rotawheels.com/wheels.asp?wheelid=31

AND

Rota TorquesSAME WHEEL SPECS. oR there may be a +25 on these.http://wheeldude.com/gallery2/...5.jpg

I will have Origin +20mm fenders up front. Does anyone know if these wheels will fit properly? AND most important will they clear Z32 30mm calipers?

Thanks to anyone whom might help

[wynnEZ]

I'm pretty sure they clear z32 rotors from what I've heard. I would go with the Torques if I were you.

[tEknoS13]

Yea the Torques look so hot. But do you think the +30 offset will look good on the car? Or would I have to use spacers to make them look flush

[White Comet]

well how wide are the torques, same specs as the p45rs? maybe try to find better sizing or just use spacers, but go with the torques

[tEknoS13]

Yea they are the same size 17x9 but I think Torques also come in +25.

WC, cookie for you!! You made the 100th post in my sadass "build" thread

[tEknoS13]

Ok so I did some quick research and found my answer. Same specs as the ones I want.

It looks pretty darn good BUT, he had to get 25mm spacers all around to make them flush . Oh well I can live with that.

[lilpiton]

Thank you so much lilpiton!! I took your word for it and decided to head overthere. Gave them a call in the morning and off I went. He quoted me 290.

no problem. so you gave him the head only? or anything else?its nice to see that you trusted me on it, i think they are some good ppl.

[tEknoS13]

Yea man I gave him the head and all the parts to inspect/clean. I was going to take it to a shop called Integrity on Cicero and Diversey but this was closer.

Well since you said they did a good job, I decided to trust you on it. And yea they seemed pretty cool

[lilpiton]

Good to hear your getting it done yo! Once its warm & dry out Im making a trip down to midway where I hear a Pick-n-Pull has LOADS of 240s!!!

Yea i dont know about loads of 240's but they have some pretty much everytime i go there, it like 5 mins from my house. The PICK & PULL in IN has more i would say and better condition, but it just might of been the time when i went there.

Did you give em the block too?

[mRodiek]

no problem. so you gave him head only? or anything else?its nice to see that you trusted me on it, i think they are some good ppl.

This is how I read that... Ive been looking at P-45Rs too, do you know where their sold? Im kinda wheel retarded when it comes to finding retailers!The torques are OHK, but I like the P45R better, although torques are a bit different...

lofl OMG that does sound kind of wrong I just noticed myself. No problem though.

lilpiton- not the block just the head.

After looking at things, I decided to go with the Torques, MUCH better look in my opinion

[lilpiton]

not the block just the head.

any word on the head?

[ZX88]

dont be a ***** get the 17x9.5 +15s they have them for both of those wheels.

[mRodiek]

Where did you find P45Rs for sale? I want a 17x9 +15

[tEknoS13]

any word on the head?

No dude that got me kind off pissed. When I first took it over, the guy said he'd give me a call later or next day in the morning (today) but they never called. So I called today at 1 and the guy said they where working on it, and that he will call me in 20 mins. But he never did!

Im not mad though, things happen. As long as they do a good job thats good enough for me, besides Im not putting it together yet.

[tEknoS13]

Sorry but I dont want to run 9.5 tires. Wait you might be on to something, I could get 9 up front and 9.5 in the rear with the +12 offset.

Wait the Torques do not come in 4 lug with 17x9.5

Here you go...

http://www.rotawheels.com/wheels.asp?wheelid=31

Not sure on the price though. However, my boy owns a wheels shop and he said he would "hook me up" If you want I could ask him for the P45Rs with specs of your choice and maybe get you a deal as well.
