If that FAQ doesn't help, try asking in the Tire/Wheel/Suspension forum. Remember, both S13 and S14 have a bolt pattern of 4x114.3mm. Don't be getting rims that have a higher-than 40 offset (the stock offset for the 240sx), they aren't made for a RWD car. Also, you listed quite a variety of motorsports there, each one has a particularily ideal setup. Try focusing on one or two areas, then look around. What size wheel would you like to get? Different sizes sometimes need different offsets to fit right...

usually for autox or mountain racing you will want a smaller wheel 15/16's. smaller wheels tend to be lighter which helps acceleration, plus tires are cheap hehe. thats why i always have 15's. offsets in the teens look really good.

I really like the 16X8 with somewhere around a +32 offset. Or A nice set of mesh with a big ol' polished lip.

The set of wheels I will hopefully be getting in a week are sized 16x7.5" and +25 offset front and rear. Pretty close to what krazy skwerel said...

What wheels you picking up dr!ft? I still want a set of enkei RP01's but they have been out of production and I can't find them for a decent price.

I prefer the looks of the 02-03 Spec V wheels, but the newer ones have better clearance for brakes so I don't know which I would ultimately prefer.

woodonastick: For the best results with this go to the Tires, Wheels, Brakes & Suspension section. If you search you will find what you need. Me personally I would go no more than 9" on the back and I think you have to roll the fenders even then. 8" max in the front though 8" all around is a good way to go that way you can rotate. I have 7" all around on my car with a +40 offset it looks preety good but if they were any wider I would go with a +32 or so. the +32 and a 8" wheel would be flush with the fenders.

Can't tell you.

I've been looking at getting 'em for awhile now, and the place I'm getting them from only has two sets left. But once I do get them, I'll let you in on the secret...
