Impul (yes nissan, call me a heretic) super-fins. 15x6.5, 4x114.3, +19 offset. Should sit jusssst about perfect. Hopefully. :D

And like with any old school JDM wheel, no they don't include center caps in the sale. I have to quest for them.

True that. The first first-gen that I fell in love with was Carl's GSL and his love for mesh rims:

These are the rota RB's...... 15x8 225x50r15 in the back and 15x7 205x50r15 in the front. I can't wait to see how it sits with those TMC springs that are a 1.25 inch drop I just bought from a fellow member, plus with a set of tokico blues. :)

statique 12-10-08 02:42 AM

What's the width and size of the rim and its offset...
I want to put 15x10 in the rear with 0 off set and I was thinking 15x8.5 or 8 int the frnt with maybe a 0 offset or a lttle less lip...would I need a spacer for the rear? And for the front?

justint5387 12-10-08 10:30 AM

^ You won't need spacers, they will stick out.

have them custom made. get ahold of autornd (believe there advertisers on here?) and have them order you some up. there not cheap though, expect to pay a 2k minimum (probably closer to $2500)

measure it up. and buy. done and done the proper way..

btw. whats the specs on those miesters?

driftking777 12-10-08 10:40 AM

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...7/DSC00573.jpg

and i'll be running the same rim, but a 17x9 +22 (spaced out to a -3) in the front.

:lol: Yours don't have centercaps either eh?

Whats up with JDM wheels never having centercaps.

Looking great. :icon_tup:

Oh and btw, what tire are you running?

drugblock12a 12-11-08 11:18 AM

ICW wheels. 17 in. not sure of the offset. I had blanks drilled to fit....i thought they were kinda tacky at first but they grew on me.

^^personally you need meatier tires on those rims...the tires are way too low profile for the overall look of the car you have going on. Besides that it looks good.

I'm curious about this as well. I'm going for the same look, have the same question.

P-Nut are those Racing Hart C2's?

mojave 12-18-08 01:16 AM

Come on guys!

This thread would be 100x better if you posted the specifications of your setup! :)

pillage6 12-18-08 03:08 AM

Yes please, I am tired of asking people for the offsets on their wheels. There are some great examples and some of us are still learning or making decisions on what to buy.

Thanks guys!!

They are Chevlon Racing. That company is no longer in business. I got those for my rx2 about 10 years ago.

P-nut 12-18-08 05:26 PM

sorry i dont know the offset

Kerebrus 12-18-08 05:31 PM

Ah so they are 4x110
