I got new(to me) wheels

R32 GTR wheels. 16x8, 30 offset, Forged, and best of all they fit over my Z32tt calipers with no spacers.

Sorry for the crappy lighting.

Kevincleff: They seem to weigh about as much as my RX7 wheels, and those are around 15.5 lbs. each IIRC. Plus I loose some weight because I don't need the spacers.

nubiannupe: Got them from a guy in MA. I found a few sets overseas, but shipping costs become a problem in that case.

happyricefob: They came with used Falkens mounted already, I'd rather not say exactly how much they were, but I was happy with the price.

Thanks for the comments everyone. If anybody is headed to Stillen day today, you can see them in person.

wow. those are really nice. They make me feel st!tty about my 16x6.5 240 sx wheels that I just bought, but the 240 wheels also do not require spacers to clear the z brakes.

I had to use spacers to clear the Z32 calipers, these don't need them.

Those look really nice. What size are the tires? Your sidewall height looks a bid odd with them in there- almost like they are 15" rims (like I have room to talk). I really like the design, and the color is great on the white body. Like the people above said, paint the calipers (black, w/ gunmetal or grey "NISSAN" lettering) and you will be set.

Thanks for the comments guys. And yes, I know the calipers need to be painted, I'm just glad they are installed!

The tires are 225/50-16, next time I'm going for 225/55-16's or 235/50-16's. But 235's are pretty rare in that size, not much to choose from.

Wheel locks and caliper paint to follow soon.

Wow. Those look amazing!

That's exactly the kind of wheel I want for both of my cars. Its really hard finding something like that in a 5x120mm pattern that doesn't cost thousands..

no they didn't, bro. those were GTS-t - 16 X 6.5. lordrandall's, and my rears, are GTR - 16 X 8. GTR is wider and harder to find and expensive.

lordrandall, great going. now we match. sort of. if you recall, my fronts are GTS-t, rears GTR.

i have another set of GTR's, btw, for my S14 project.

Yeah, I saw those too. I've gotten used to wide wheels, I didn't want to go back to 6.5".

Oh yeah, and the 6.5" wheels will fit over Z32 brakes, we tested the ones off bonzelite's Max over my brakes, after all, those are the stock brakes for the GTS-t.
