[Cash]

what sizes? 15x? and what offset?

[Imprezadent]

ummmm, i believe they are 15x6.5, and i honestly have no idea about offsets. Im really just tryin to look for an inexpensive alternative to steelies, for right now, lol.

[Cash]

If they're high offsets they're gonna be all sunken in. Might be cool with some spacers though.

[carlova78]

where did you find them? your car looks good in silver

[Imprezadent]

Its all scratched up though, i want it like a charcoal color....i found them here.

If you're wanting to spend between $300-400 for some new wheels, you should really check this group buy out:
http://www.zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=137673

I know it's a little bit more, but for $450 shipped, you can get some 17x9 +17 wheels that will look really good. Good offsets too so they won't be sunken in. Also, Alec, the guy doing the group buy, is really cool.

[Cash]

Haha, they're the same brand as the ones you're looking at too!

[Imprezadent]

yeah, i would be nice to have bigger wheels, but im actually gonna have to buy them on by one, and this site has free shipping, and since their 15's, i can probably use my same tires and just toss my steelies, or get 1 tire and use it as a full size spare.

[Cash]

Patience is a virtue. Just wait and save until you have enough to buy something nice that you'll really like, instead of something okay that you bought just because it was cheap. You'll be much happier in the long run.

[carlova78]

yea dont be like those mexis and have 2 different sets of wheels

[Imprezadent]

hahahaha, hate to say ive done that before, when i had a civic....before i saw the light, lol.

[carlova78]

so right now you have doughnuts?

[Cash]

he said stealies.. like stock wheels. the kind that come with hubcaps.

[carlova78]

same thing. theres a bunch of rims on zilvia. just get some there

[Cash]

They're not the same. Doughnuts are spares. Like that ugly yellow thing that nissan put in the back of our cars.

[frosty_spl]

dude just save up a couple more months and get something nice. You will be much happier in the long run. Don't pay for something twice.

[Imprezadent]

Yeah, maybe ill wait, but then again, i actually do like those rims, lol. Even though theyre small, im not fond of rubber band tires....my dad had 18's on his GS300 and he blew a tire once a week. Thanks for the ideas and stuff though.

[carlova78]

u like meshies? those would look hot while there small

[Imprezadent]

Yeah, i do lie mesh, these arent really mesh, theyre kinda old school, but i like these two....
http://www.discounttiredirect.com/product/wheels/maxscr.bmf.ang.jpg $99 each....

[down_shift]

get some real wheels. ff fitments are going to look really bad.


ps do not flat black your car. if you do flt blk AND ff wheels your car is an instant failure.

[SRJulz]

yea y ya want to do that ur paint cant be that bad

[shawn shawn]

*No flat black
*If you really want 15's just get the sport max's (15x8 +0)
*Dont buy em one at a time that doesnt make sense! Save.
*17s are hott sex on a 240 and dont need "rubber band" tires.

[Imprezadent]

Yeah, i really didnt forsee actually painting it flat black anyway, but i do want to get rid of the silver at some point.

[Imprezadent]

Theres a couple of sport max wheels that i like actually. The 002, 006, 501, 925's, etc. Excuse me for being stupid, lol, but could someone translate ff to me. Im not entirely sure what it means, i have my assumptions.

[Cash]

front engine front wheel drive

[Cash]

..or fuckin' failure

[Imprezadent]

i figured it had something to do with front wheel drive. But yeah, i dunno, i think im gonna keep looking for awhile, but i actually like the first rims i posted....but i got other shit to do first like replace my windshield, etc.

[Cash]

If you like those, but wanna get good sizes and offsets, check out gram light 57 pro's.

[v-empire]

yummy.

[Imprezadent]

lol, those are awesome, but i cant afford to sell an organ to get them.

[Stealth13]

u should buy mine http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s314/S13whitehatch/S6300017.jpg

[Imprezadent]

Those are nice, how much you sellin em for?? Oh, and i got a question, the rims i was originally asking about, i THINK it says something about a 38mm offset, is that good for an s13, cause i cant seem to find anything that says whats recomended.

[Stealth13]

I will let them go for about $500

[Hammerhead-i Eaglethrust]

a little off topic, but if you can sand your car down yourself, my brother in law can spray your car for like $275 plus paint. He did a hell of a job on one of mine and he needs the practice.

I'm in a similar dilemma on wheels, I bought some cheap, and now I hate them. I think I'm going to end up saving up for something nice, and go down to 17s.

[carlova78]

dude hes painting my car

you would need spacers with 38 offset

[Imprezadent]

Dude thats an awesome paint job, i want mine that color almost, but a little darker, kinda the same color as dorimon's car.....or if i really get some chedda, i want it the same color as those dark grey lexus is300's. Oh, and i think if thats the case, then ill get those rims and then get spacers for them, thanx.

38mm offset is going to look pretty much horrible on a 240, regardless of the width. also, please don't buy the ones from the original post, the diamater and with are just bad. like everyone else said, save until you can get stuff in proper fitments, you'll be much happier.

[badass240]

yeah cash is right, just wait and something will come along. thanks to him i got a full set of 17s with tires, for, well i cant say. but mad props to my boy CASH

[Casey]

yesss

Man, i might have to take this advice when it comes from a fellow Art Instituter.
