New wheels... pics! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

PSI240SX · 09-20-2003, 06:33 PM

I need coilovers now lol! I love the wheels but they are a bitch to clean. I am getting my sideskirts and rear valances painted this week... will have more pics soon.

They are Volk GTU's 18x8 and 18x9 by the way.

Brian · 09-20-2003, 06:43 PM

DRFT · 09-20-2003, 06:45 PM

Nice rims..what kind are they?

*SaintlyCharBoy* · 09-20-2003, 07:02 PM

your cars always rawk

i'm mad jealous!

Fastback180 · 09-20-2003, 07:42 PM

When you manufacture meth, you can have the world.

j/k

This man is always holdin it down w/clean, fast, and beautiful cars.

Bill Roberts · 09-20-2003, 07:55 PM

Cleaning...I bet..

Try some castrol superclean on a spot and see if that does not fuk with the gold...if not..that is THE cleaner.

I have nothing about those rims to say in a negative state. Match the car nicely. I tend to prefer silver/black myself.

PSI240SX · 09-20-2003, 11:03 PM

I gotsda mad hook up yo! $1600 brand new... with brand new tires!

as for fast.... its ok now but tomorrow after the GT25R it should be hella fast!

VersionS13 · 09-20-2003, 11:54 PM

Damn, what shop did you buy those from? $1,600 is pretty cheap. Also, what offset did you go with?

*FRpilot* · 09-21-2003, 12:01 AM

those rims look huge.. but nice.

fleaf · 09-21-2003, 01:00 AM

you're car is f'kin sexy. The color of the wheels compliment the body nicely, but they look a little big.

on the overall tho, it looks great!

old_s13 · 09-21-2003, 02:40 AM

car is ok.

rims are ok.

only problem i see, is that they are too big for that car and i dont necessarily like the color matching, but thats just my preferences here. looks ok if thats your style, its good with me.

Heartwork · 09-21-2003, 03:19 AM

But it was too good of a deal to pass up....

Whoops totally missed that. i was concentrating hard on the pics

DudeYourSoOOJDM · 09-21-2003, 05:12 AM

Looks like a monster truck on those Dubs.

17's should be the max on an s13 IMO.

18's actually look good on an s14...but how they perform is a diff story.

The wheels are nice tho...just shoulda got smaller.

fooddude · 09-21-2003, 03:24 PM

I think 18's work on an S13...it would look a lot better if you lowered it more, get rid of that gap(especially in the front), and rake it a little. It just looks like a monster truck because its so high, imo. Very sexy car and sexy wheels though, nice job!

fooddude · 09-21-2003, 03:24 PM

double post

Ahhsk · 09-21-2003, 04:02 PM

proj240sx · 09-21-2003, 04:11 PM

mmmmmm i love the way those rims look..

like other people saying they look pretty damn big, but who cares if your happy with it right?

zenkiDori · 09-21-2003, 04:59 PM

nice. need suspension. i dunno if it's the pic or not, but uhhh, is your car, seafoam green?

TokyoNights · 09-21-2003, 09:11 PM

The car needs that antenna to pick up R/C signals.

Looks good! I'm glad the GTU is back in production. I just wish they made it in 16" and 17" again. I'm always a fan of a nicely done s13 coupe, nice work!

SlideStar · 09-22-2003, 01:23 AM

Very nice! Sounds like you're on the right track w/ coilovers
and sideskirts next. Keep up the good work! send us
pics when your all done!

Oh and ya.. That antenna needs to go.

adey · 09-22-2003, 01:54 AM

What's the ET (offset) on the GTUs? Seem pretty good, although you could do with 2 more inches of lip (at least 1 more " please!)
You DEFINITELY need suspension!!

2.5" drop up front and another 1" in the rear. Will look a LOT better once you do that and get your skirts/valance on.
Otherwise... nice ride!
