Who the hell pays for those big a** beamer wheels but not a 5speed swap? And the bike rack!

The wheels would look better if they were smaller & more tire

Pretty sick actually - all you have to do is get rid of the BMW center and that would look even better.

Seen Those BWM Wheels Go For Around ~400.

Please Tell Me Who's Willing To Piece Together Everything Needed For A 5-Speed Swap Including Instillation For $ 400?

And Bike Rack Looks Dope, Wouldn't Get One Unless I Plan On Using It Tho.

I didnt know they were that cheap so me.But he talks about how he had a manual trans, that would be the first thing I would do before the wheels, maybe its just me.

When I read the thread title, I was hoping to see an s14 rocking BBS LM's... That car disappointed me. It's so hard to find 18x10 LM's in Nissan fitment. I may have to settle for some Work VS XX...

Nope. Bimmer fitment is 5x120. The car in question used wheel adapters to get those to fit...

Hmm, he almost has to be running spacers. He could probably get away with running some 5x112 wheels and using "wobble lugs" (raderwerks), but with 5x120 I don't think he could. That said, he's running 19x9 +24 (or so) unless he's running the staggered fitment 19x9 & 19x10 ... his net offset has to be close to 0, which explains the fenders (not the best pull I've ever seen).

I think 19's work better on S14's if they have some aero, even if it's just the factory side skirts.

The VW guys use the bolt version of these regularly. They're referred to as "Wobble Bolts" which makes it sound like there would be issues, but I've never heard any of the VW guys having issues. Raderwerks sells them as 14Twelve bolts and lugnuts.

Here's a gif showing how the bolt version works.

What's the difference between Yokota's and this one? I mean...a top mount rack is a top mount rack...aside from differences in the towers and the front wind deflector thing.

Looks nasty, the rims are wayyyyy too big for the car, and there's way too much negative camber.

I agree about the camber, the funny thing is you have to look at the car directly from the rear to see how much negative camber it has??
