I recently received some z33 wheels from my cousin, I just wonder about a couple of things.

When I do the 5 lug conversion on my s13 hatch, I will most likely be doing a z32 brake swap at the same time. I need to know, will these wheels fit properly on an s13? Also, will they fit over the z32 calipers, or will I have to got with q45 calipers instead?

These wheels are only temporary until I can afford some ultra sweet ones, so if the fitment isn't optimal, that's ok as long as they'll work for a while.

Thanks in advance.-fuse.

They will look good, and will clear any Z32 calipers. But there's different wheels for different years. So you might want to post it up.

They are the base model 17's. 7 spokes, painted gray.

These:

I'm currently in the process of stripping them down to bare aluminum and polishing them. I'm not sure exactly how I want them to look though...

I'm considering polishing the blue area, or the red area to a chrome finish, or leaving them both more polished than this, but not fully chrome.

I wouldnt recommend polishing them... for that much work, i dont think they will look very good.

But if thats what you want go for it. I'd prefer stock look or at the least flat black.

what type of Z33 wheels are they? There's several types. I'm gonna go with a 'yes, they should fit without any problems' but I'm not too sure. Base model z33's came with sliding brakes, so I'm not too possitive on its clearance.
