I got a set of 16"x7" BBS RX's locally for $100.

Here is a quick photoshop:


This wheel is in the worst condition with just minor scratching around the outer edge. But won't even be noticeable with the tire on.









Let me know what you all think?!...

 

Nice

 

I got my wheels for free..

 

Nice buy!!

throw some 225/50/16 tires on there and you're good to go!

 

Anyone got the offset for them wheels?

 

look at the numbers cast around the rim. I can't read them, but it should be stamped there somewhere.

 

40mm I believe...
60.1mm center bore

 

Will those work best? Tirerack suggests 215/55/16 but I would like to go as low as profile as possible.

And apparently the 225/50/16 is a more performance oriented tire. Where Can I go to check? Also... the lug hole is very recessed, will I need some special long/cone lug nuts for this wheel?

Thanks

 

truth be told these are my favorite rims for a 3rd gen. I don't know whether to congratulate you, or envy you, or both.

 

225/50/16 is perfect. you also have a good selection of tires. Anything from grandma tires to race slicks. 215/55/16 is the same overall diameter, but you get a bit of extra tire width and more performance with the 225.

nice and clean man, good steal!

 

Does anyone know if the offset from a 1993 300zx wheel is the same as a 1993 Maxima SE's offset? I bought a set and thought they would work, but I don't know. I haven't put them on yet. Because the wife doesn't know.

 

.....

 

it's different depending on which wheels you have from it.
TT were different from NA

 

Center bore should be 66.1 - not 60.1

Nice BBS wheels!

 

Nice rims dude, but are they really the same type of rims as the ones on the photochopped pic?

 

Yeah, but I'm thinking the photoshopped one's are the "BBS RX II" they had a weird disattached outer lip.

But that's okay because the type II's were defective and the clearcoat would always peel really bad.

 

Nice rims.

I remember when I had my first 3rd gen back in the old days, I really wanted those style BBS rims, but I couldn't afford them.

 

Nice. Did you have a drop on that car? Looks Eibach. Hah, but my car sits about like that now. I think my rear struts are...

 

Good deal!! 225/55 are good to go for, I agree.. I run on 245/45/17 on KMC's.

 

look nice! wish i could find a deal like that

 

Yup. those were Eibachs... and a 300lb system in the trunk holding the *** end down.

 

$100 for all of em? Thats a deal for any 4 wheels in good condition.
Nice work Shima! Do you still want that passenger side clear corner?

 

you guys are gonna have to help me find a good price on some of those except black interior with chrome lining around the tire. You guys keep finding these cheap wheels. HOOK ME UP YO!

 

Keep looking, n00b. best way to find them is to keep your eyes open and jump on a deal when it happens.


(Usually I just give up and pay full price. )

^ mine

 

wow nice wheelz!!! i have stock on mine..when my tire needs changing again i'll probably look into getting something else

 

watch the classifieds here and other random forums and ebay and such.
usually I can buy wheels w/ decent tires for about the same price of buying just new tires..
do that a few times and you wind up with a dozen sets of wheels in the garage.
