white 240sx with white wheels? wouldnt that be too much? I was thinking chrome or silver would look better.

chrome weighs too much and white is paint so that wieghs too much too , cant go wrong with alloy wheels that are unpainted .thats why i cant get rid of my stock 14 inch aluminum wheels , 15lb is hard to beat , there is one axis 4 spoke wheel but they dont make it in 4x144.3 so it does me no good

true

ps: that the ratio for the 89-94

it might be , i know it is for the G20/altima/new sentra , and i hear you all have the same lug pattern just a diffent offset

also when looking at aftermaket wheels check to see if there "hubcentric" they will fit on that lip on that mateing surface of ythe hub on the car , this will keep some of the load off of the lugs

the more ive found out about aftermarket wheels the less i liked them , stock niisan wheels are in my opinon the best way to go

i have seen a few 240's with the wheels off of a spec V sentra , but i dont think the offset is right, wrong offset can play havoc on your wheel bearings

stock is never the way to go....whatever rims a car comes with, there will always be a better aftermarket one.unless of course its a porsche, ferrari, lambo, etc.....

"stock is never the way to go....whatever rims a car comes with, there will always be a better aftermarket one.unless of course its a porsche, ferrari, lambo, etc....."

find me a wheel that is lighter than 15lbs , stronger than stock ,is hubcentric with correct offset, corrcet bolt pattern and no bigger than 15 inches no smaller than 14 , pretty hard huh ? only a handful of wheels out there that fit that critera (none i have found here in the US) espicly when your bolt pattern is 4x114.3. now if we are talking steel wheels then yes your right most anything is beatter than steel .

weight is a big factor , you play with the weight at that whell you change alot on the car , steering feel being the biggest , off the line acceleration being second, even the slip angle could change

Aftermarket rims made for a 4 lug Honda accord fits 240s. I know cause I got 17"Motegi Racing type MR7s on my 97' 240

Try gold, gunmetal, or black

Anything Volk is good (and they make plenty of 15 inch wheels). Rota makes some good knock offs, and they went offroading with the Rota Tarmacs (funny name for wheels on a Scooby), and the mag said the wheels held up great, hitting rocks and the whole nine.

Personally if I had the money I'd buy some Volks, but I really think I'm gonna end up with Rotas, they make a really nice Advan look-a-like, the Tarmacs are also nice.

Why would you want to stay under 15in? Unless you are drag racing. I'm gonna get 16s. I think 17s would look better, but I need practicality and driveability.
