Well i've been waiting way too long to put some wheels on my car. I bought this set for $150 and the front tires have about 90% tread left but the rears have bad camber wear. I am going to dismount the tires here soon and paint the wheels gunmetal. OEM +, i am liking it.





P.S. I know the car is filthy


*NEW PICS ON PAGE 2*

 

Very nice choice. They will look hot with the gunmetal. How much do they weigh?

 

looks good, gunmetal will look even better

 

wheelweights.net says they are 19lbs. I can tell they are heavier than the 15' sawblades. Der

 

hmm. i thought 300zx rims weighed 16 lbs each, but dont know for certain, maybe certain ones are. 19 lbs is still about the same as a stock SE rim so not gaining if your coming from stock.

are those 16 x 7.5 or 16 x 8 ? curious about that as well. looks good though

 

Looks good!

 

Are you serious with that sig pic? That is just crazy man!

 

These wheels are from a NA 300zx. so all 4 wheels are 16x7.5. But the TT models have 16x8's in the rear and an offset of 35mm. Thanks for the compliments. Ceasar, 16lbs makes more sense to me, but i just did a quick look up. So who knows.

 

stock ambers FTW!!

 

I'm not a fan of clears or smokes bumper lights, they never fit right and looked tackey IMO. What the hell is FTW? hahaha

 

For The Win!! I'm glad to say that I sold my clears and put back my stockers. I think it looks great. to you and your car.

 

Its the only way to go :P Thanks for the compliment. I try to keep it clean

 

Very nice rims. I had a set of TT z rims on my old 240, and they were definately light!

 

you have a pair on backwards. they have opposite spokes. ever think about spacers for the rear?

 

looks great. I'm thinking I might pick up some 300zx wheels to throw on my car to use as beater/winter wheels.

 

Interesting looks like 2 of them are backwards.

 

The way the tires are on right now, its correct. I could care less how they face at the moment. I probably won't get spacers beacuse i feel its not worth it on this car. But who knows

 

i'll look into it when i get new tires, but its not a problem i need to deal with at the moment.

 

Looks good, can't wait to see them painted.

 

yea, nice buy man. they look good on the max.

 

NA wheels are 16x7.5 +45 they weigh just under 19lbs the TT rear wheels are 16x8.5 +35 and weigh just under 20lbs (I weighed them both) I have thought about painting mine but I'm not sure how they will look with the dark color car.
BTW look on the wheels "L" left side "R" right side

 

i painted my 87 z wheels gunmetal...they look bad *** on auto-x /track days

 

i will be auto-xing with these wheels on it.

 

I'm assuming that this is told by looking from the front of the car? When i looked at mine thats seemed to be right, but correct me i'f i'm wrong

click on the link then click corner of car to fidn out the part # to get the right wheels on the right side....PS those wheels are designed to scoop air in to cool the brakes so they may look a little funny

 

car looks good man, I like the 97 grill on the 95 bumper with stillen lip.

 

ah! thanks a lot man. Helps me get this straight.

 

no problemo

 

Dark color car + Gunmetal wheels = dont look too good

I'd suggest repainting them silver. It looks great on the dark color car. Now your wheels will clear a BBK if you ever get on.

 

very nice
what kinda lowering spring are those

 

H&R with tokico blues

 

always loved the look of those wheels.. you should get lower springs in front, would look even better.

 

^^ i was thinking that, things holding me back are, bottoming out, i want to keep daily driver status as far as ground clearance since i have a lip and what not. Trust me, i think of it all the time

 

nice rims, good luck painting them to gunmetal. A lot of work involved in it. Post pics when you are done.

 

As long as i take my time, (which i plan on doing) they will look great. I will post pics once its done and it should be done in about 2 weeks.

 

Yeah very interested in pics. I bought a parts car with rims that look like that. I want to put them on my (black emerald) NiMax but wasn't sure to paint them or not.

 

I wanted these as winter rims. They fit over a 300zx brake conversion right?





Edit 5000th post woohoo!!!!

 

looks classic, i like

 

Looks very good and clean. Not too flashy just perfect.

 

ok, here are the pics of the painted wheels
