the price for what they are is kinda steep but if you could find a look a like set for cheap they'd be good.
the wheels i got i want to put on my car i got for free and theyre very 80's but too bad they are a 5 lug chevy pattern

hotness....I have been looking at the mesh style wheels a lot, but in general I have not been happy with the prices I have found. THere is a guy at my work that has a crysler labaron and it has black mesh wheels with a polished lip....I have no clue the number of lugs or the lug pattern....but I was thinking I could make those work.....just re-spray the mesh and hit the lip with the die grinder....bling

Nice! Classic Enkei's! But that price is a little steep, I got my 16" Riken mesh for $450 CAD with decent Toyo Proxes FZ4's on them. Cardana, the Chrysler rims will be 5 bolt.
Cars with the same bolt pattern as ours:
Datsun/Nissan
240,260,280Z & 280-300ZX up to 86
U11 & U12 Stanza
Altima 93-01
200SX 84-88
240SX 89-96
New Sentra's
Any rear wheel drive Datsun, 510,610,710,810-Maxima
Toyota
Rear wheel drive Corolla's up to 88
Celica/Supra up to 85
Toyota Vans 84-90
Cressida up to 88
Mazda
Rx-7 84-88
626 83-87
Honda
ACCORD 90 and up
Prelude 92 and up
Suzuki
Forsa/Swift/Sprint/Firefly/Metro 85-92
This list is far from complete, but most anything else had 13" rims anyway.

well, guess what, I just picked up a set from the junker for a 100, they're enkei ultralights (kinda rare these days), as in you can pick them up by the lips.
Only downside is that they're 14x7, not 15x7, but... slap on some low profile rubber and i'll have a car that rides even closer to the ground without bottoming the struts up front), plus mad short final drive (which literally means I'll be bottoming the 145 in the speedo) Oh, 0 offset as well (way to widen the track width), so i need to work in some flaring to the fender lips..
the 14" will fit over the 10" brake setup (test fitted, it works)
not to worry, I'll leave them black, sarin knows how much I hate cleaning the U11 wheels on my U12.. (brake dust = brake is working
)
these ultralights are available up to 16"
above all, I love the lips on them

yeah, there was a local guy selling some 17" rota subzeros (5 lug) with tires for $225. THese are rims I have always liked and would have loved to pick them up but I have four lugs 
---and I would just like to have the five lug for more wheel options...I am not going to pull a sarin and put a BBK on my 100 hp beast

lol. It's a 135whp beast *****! Get it right! 
(actually side note, my car makes more torque at the wheels than some VQ automatics) .
Actually, I was talking with Jeff yesterday, and because of my spoke design on my 18's, a BBK may not clear. I would have rubbing problems with the wheel and the caliper most likely. And besides, if I did BBK, my car will also be pushing about 200-225whp.
Carson, if you are interested in doing the swap, since I already know what to look out for (duh!), I can tell you all you need and how to do it. It really isn't that hard to do when you have all the correct parts. And since it looks like your familiar with how the suspension is head together on these cars, it shouldn't be too bad for ya!

thats cool....right now I am debating on whether or not to do this or go ahead and lower it with ST and leave the 4 lug. I already have wheels but they are not the best quality...I like the way they look but I like change. Or my other possibility is to do the 5 lug swap (I am sure I can do I would just need to know what parts to use), so I will have more wheel and suspension options....I'll be intouch with you about it...I am guessing I will probably see how the car holds up thru the winter the way it is and if its running fine I think possibly I will do the swap. Right now I am droping so much money in my fourth gen I dont have much left for the second gen (Pathfinder TB on the way). Chance are I will lower it in a month or two the way it is, then do the swap...I can always sell the second gen stuff on here (tokico, and kyb). And I was just bustin' your a$$ ON the BBK....I know why you want it. I want one too...but on my other car....you car is the hotness I just like giving you a hard time. P.S. my 4th gen is at 265 ft/lbs(on the way up)...does the second gen want some?

I have 339whp and 285wtq for your 265wtq! (since I work a lot on iansw car!) Just remember, you might have more power than me in your 4th gen, but I'll lay down the beat down in the bendies!
Btw, impressive tq numbers, how's the hp? I'm thinking maybe 285-300whp with your setup?
