What do you want from us?

This is your car, is it not? Make your own damn decision, you're a big boy.

S13 or S14?

If its a S14, SSR Proffesor SP3.

If its a S13, well that depends what type of route your taking your car. Either or.
I would personally get SSR Proffesor SP3, but that's just me because I like flashy things.

2 things, ssr bright speeds are pretty damned rare. also, those sizes suck harder than a black hole. widths are horrendous and are you seriously considering a 14" wheel? i am no wheel whore in the least bit, but 14" with widths of 6.5" and 7"? put the crack pipe down, son.

I'm confused... one of the wheels you posted is four lug. The other is five lug. So which do you have? 4 or 5 lug?


Edit: Nevermind. I just looked at your avatar. Apparently you don't have either 4 or 5 lug cause you don't even have a car right now. I'm outta here.

I'm not a fan of any wheel that is a 4-spoke or less. I like the SSR Proffesor SP3, and it would look good on any 240, IMO.

both wheels are cool, but 14's are just to small for a S-13 or S-14 maybe if you had a S12 or a older datsun. but yeah get the 17's.

Well it's only moving slow now because I'm not in one for more then 2 months. But July is gonna be a busy month just for the fact that I'm saving my paychecks till then. I get paid a decent amount so everything should go smoothly as I plan. Smoothly as in parts arriving and installed in a timely manner
