okay so ive been looking into wheels for a while now but i cant decide what looks nice on the car. I have a white s14 jdm kouki conversion on it and some stance coilovers. ill have pics of the actual car tonight but i was wondering what wheels do you think would look nice on my dropped white s14. What kind offset, what kind of rims, if i need spacers, any input would be aprpeciated. If you have pictures of other white jdm s14s with some nice wheels on a dropped would be nice too. thanks in advance for your help.

so basically, you're saying you have no idea about wheel fitment, and you don't know how to search....?

dude, this is like the third thread in gen 240sx forum about wheel fitment.

It would be completely different if you were asking for opinions on wheel styles... but c'mon dude... do some home work at least. There's plenty of stickies in the wheel/tire/suspension technical forum to educate yourself on ideal sizes for wheel fitment.

btw, you don't need spacers if you already have wheels in an ideal offset. get it right the first time, and you won't have to worry about anything else to accommodate in wheel fitment.

Work meister, equips, emotions are always goodies...

SSR also make awesome wheels.

what's your budget? because not everyone's down to spend almost the cost of their stock 240 on some wheels. And if you say less than $1000, then disregard my suggestions.

This one looks pretty clean for having cheap rotas (knockoff Nismo LMGT4), just some inspiration for some budget wheels, i love 5 stars.

Heh i was wondering the same thing because its not my car, but they look nice chrome. Maybe he had them professionally redone or did it himself, i just assumed they were rotas because of the missing nismo spoke. I have rota p45r's as well but mine are matte black w/red lip.

I assume its like painting anything else though...sand,primer,paint,clear, wet sand,buff? or something?

idk really just guessing

EDIT: never seen the 'hyper black' color in anything but manufacturer pic. maybe thats what it looks like?

See, everybody flamed me when I told them that the Hyper Black was vastly superior to that ghey, ugly a$$ Royal Sports Bronze that all the sheep keep buying... But nooo! They thought I was crazy or something...

They change colors depending on the angle of light. Legit LMGT4's don't even look this good, IMO.

Very wrong. You'd never fit that much rubber under stock fenders with such a low offset.

That kouki uses 17x9+25 245/40/17 & 17x9.5+30 275/40/17 with a roll and NO pull. It's in the 'Wheel Fitment Database' thread.

Nearly perfect 240 fitment, IMO. Available in both 4 lug and 5 lug at Discount Tire, Wheeldude.com, Ebay and other fine retailers.
