Found some new rims for my car!

Well, they don't quite compare to Sarin's, but they do suit the car. Old school Rikens! A friend of mine had picked them up for his 280Z, but they didn't clear his front struts. They came off of an 86 RX-7. 16x7 rims with 205/55 Toyo Proxes FZ4's. What do you think?

hehehe, didn't wanna be out done huh wylie? Those rims look awesome on the car. I love the old style Riken rims. Pluss they look like they are a nice silver finish that goes well with your car. Looking good!

I think they will go well with our cars. However, just like any other Nissan 17" rim, they will be pretty heavy....but cosemetically, they would look pretty awesome!

Reason I ask is because they are selling them pretty cheap. I want to wait until my tires that I put on about a good 6 months ago go out but thatll be too long. Ive just been pondering the thought. I wish someone could do a photoshop for me.

Yup they are Even the 16" 2003's se-r's aka the 2000-2001 Altima SE rims. The Spec V 2003 5 spoke 17" wheels will fit our 4 lug bolt pattern as well. I pondered those first. Now Im looking into the 04 Spec v's. My sister works with a kid who owns a red 04 spec v. Im going to try to talk to him to see if I could test fit them on my car or if he'd be willing to let them go. I might just test them and take pics and wait awhile before buying, though.

Yeah, quest rims wont work. Im surprised that they never converted the sentras bolts to 5 lug when the SE-R Spec V came out.

Well if you think about it....most cars they compete with are also 4 lug. Seems to be a standard for those type/size cars.

naah, i still like the idea of finishing the parts bin better... the L30 were -after all- done with U13's left over parts suspension wise.
