I guess I veered off the vip path of boat anchors, and stretch and poke. I went the other direction of fully forged, lightweight and old school. These were made back in '95. Only drawback that happened was clearance issues with the z32 calipers. the calipers had to be grinded down so I lost the raised "Nissan" letters and also a 2mm spacer was added. thats a big minus in points right there.
Used shoes I picked up on Tuesday:
-Rays Volk Fortessr Forged 17x9.0JJ +25et, weighing in at 16lbs
-Federal SS595 235/45R17
Total combo at 40lbs even. I was hoping for less but this will beat 52lbs anyday.

 

 

Very nice!

 

Nice job ****. Maybe you can get some nissan stickars or something on the calipers.

 

yeah, that and ill also be getting the wheels repainted/refinished. not sure what color, keep it in white? although gunmetal would look pretty spiffy. i'm going to try and source the original volk stickers if i can.

 

Weak sauce!!!!!

 

Haha wow, old school wheels. Those look really good actually, they fit your car nicely. OT, how many setups have you gone through though....

 

Those look awesome

 

Deffinately the opposite end of the spectrum on the wheels now. But I like it. It sucks that you had to mill down the calipers, but thats minor. Keep it clean.

 

saw em in your sig and figured. i think they would look good redone in straight silver, no stickers.

 

First let me say great choice changing to some nice looking lightweight wheels. I was never a fan of the boat anchors myself!

If it was my choice, I would consider a steel-grey or flat gunmetal finish (nothing metallic or overly shiny) to go with your blacked out car. IMO it would look very agressive to go with the new sporty attitude.

+1 on no stickers, old school is nice but I'm not a fan of the original stickers.

 

Very nice. I havent seen those wheels in quite a while.

 

looks ok, i like your other rims you had before.

 

Perfect wheel fitment as usual

I wouldn't change a thing about the wheels except having them restored.

Whats going to be your next set of wheels? vs-xx, Lights 57s-pro w/ a titan lip, or a set of the new 57d's would be tight.

 

I like those wheels better too.

 

Looks alot more performance oriented, I like.

 

i think about 7-8 sets of wheels so far...

 

thanks!

yeah definitely. well hope you like the shoes in transit!


hmm, will keep that in consideration. ill have to photoshop some different color schemes here...

sporty does seem like the case here.

 

which ones?

 

Ghey!!!

 

get outta here ya bastid!

 

No, you have ugly rims!

 

shall we being the sh*t talking here as well??? hahaha because im sure i ripped u a new one in the other thread.

 

At least they're light. If they were gunmetal I would definitely like them.

 

looks nice

 

How much wheels do you have lol, I like these one but not as much as your previous set

 

I like

 

Your max probably pulls way harder now with those lighter wheels...I liked your old wheels though..soooo sexy

 

This car sucks! I've seen it in person!

 

i have yet to go wot from a dig with these.

 

nobody likes your negative commets Teh Ghey.

 

HAHA!! Mr****s is actually a **** in person!!!

 

sex-ayyy!!!!! i lovez demz!

 

a little shop my friend did:

 

DO IT!!!

 

I'm diggin the chop chop lol go black to match

 

i agree, it would look better But its still nice the way it is

 

gaah im totally torn between SBC (super black chrome) and Volk white.

 

takata green lol jk

I like the white.

 

BRONZE or
GOLD
IMO it would be the hotness
(but i have a preference for those colors as you can tell)
