Well, I am going to buy a white 240sx and have everything figured out but the wheels. So thought i'd ask for a little help. Thinking about getting wheels with the gold center and the polished lips (example: WORK VS-XX wheels)

Also I'm looking at the SSR Professor S1 wheels with the black center.

Might even just get white wheels like the Volk TE37s.

Probally going with 17x8.5 front; and 17x9.5 rearmight even do 18's. What offset would I need for that deep dish look? I was told probally the cloest to 0 that I could get right?!?!

dont get white wheels (just my personal opinion), id say something in a gunmetal or a darker bronze or some other kind of darker color would look good imo

dont plan so far ahead. get a car before you start worrying about wheels. if you really want one then you will buy one. if you are just like all the other trend whores you will just give up whenever somthing else popular comes along.

Hey s14 king, are you willing to travel to Houston?

Keep an eye on this page: http://www2.chroniclecars.com/...3&y=6

..I don't know if you're looking for any of those(they seem to be the base model), but it's good to check that every week.

If you're going to get S14 and you want it to look SIIICK, and you don't mind doing some work to make them fit...

Get 17/18x9/9.5 +5-10 ish all around.

Roll and pull fenders. You will need to take your fenders off and move the wiring harnesses a little bit. Then there are a couple lips inside the front fenderwell that you need to bang out. Slam it and throw in some camber and a 215-235/45/17 or 215-235/40/18 across those wheels and it will look siiiick. Drifter flush is sex. Make the fender even with the top of the wheel lip, and tuck the tires into the fender.

But thats just me. I like extreme. Thats why I haven't bought wheels yet. I want to do it right the first time.
