shold i trade my rims for some phonedials?

Hey, i have an offer from a friend to trade my shitty 300zx rims for a CLEAN pair of 87 n/a phone dials... i have put his rims on my car before and i honestly think they look really nice....

what do you guys think..

btw one of his tyres is popped the rest are good thats why he wants to trade me... my 2 front tires are worn down to the wires on the inside and the back ones a chunk snow tires with the studs pulled..

Black phone dials look badass on the older cars...know what really looks great on FB's and FC's? The alloy 4 spoke wheels from an early 80's supra...especially black ones...

those are damn near clones of the stock fb + rims, wich IMO are fugly

i dont have pics of his rims, but you can see my rims in my sig.. his rims do look alot better than mine the only thing is i will need 1 tyre...
if i do get his rims they will be stripped and polished to hell, i dont like the lookj of any stock rim painted black...

I've got 'em, but the gold was coming off, so I re-painted the centers gunmetal/black.

Greg- I'll cut ya a deal on mine... 75 for the complete set of four rims and all of them have good tires!! You could probably take your old rims and tires to the used tire guy in Airway hights and get 75 bucks for them!!! You'd end up getting new tires for free, and you'd get a stack out of my garage!!

What size are the 300Z rims?

Phone dial are rediculously narrow (liek 5.5" I think? Maybe 6..)

go with whichever is wider
