im looking for some cheap aftermarket wheels for my car for the drifting season next year...

looking for something in the line of....16x8 for the front, and 16x9 in the back......

anyone have any links or reccomendations?..... ive been looking, but havent found much that impress me...

 

When they say FC owners are cheap....they mean it. You should search your local junkyard. If you dont mind non matching rims that is. Otherwise you might have to pay money...there arent any free rims secrets out there..

 

Check with Wheelchoice or Takumi Project...
That'll be our cheapest option.
Also check eBay, as several vendors are now offering pretty good deals on used JDM wheels...

Mmm I sense Watanabe's in the air

 

i was just about to say Takumi Project also, they got some nice jdm wheels there in all kinds of offsets heres the link

http://takumiproject.com/

 

me also!!!!!!

 

Hmm I nice set of the gunmetal RS Watanabe's agasint a white T2 sound perfect....though they have a "ask" for a price on em...sounds like they might be pricey but wellll worth the money

 

hey guys i'm looking for some cheap gold to line my engine bay with..... just kidding.
but have fun trying to find cheap 16x9's dude just get some s5 turbo 2 wheels and save the rest foe rubber.... trust me.

 

Don't Skyline 16x8 rims fit?

 

yeah, but if you can find them...

 

hhm.. i do love s5 t2 wheels.. but i wanted a little wider... what are they...6.5"?...

i was looking at reallly cheap wheels....(wheelguyz.com) and they have some for good prices...but probably shitty offset...

because the way i look at it, im going to be most likely hitting them and such, i dont want to buy a $1,500 set of wheels when im just going to be sliding with them...

either that, or have nice wheels for everyday driving, and run some shitty wheels for drifting.... but i still want something wider..

300zx wheels are pretty wide, arent they?.. i want the wider wheels so i can run stretched tires...

 

Why may I ask will you run a stretched tire?

 

in order to negate any other handling upgrades he may have haha

 

lol yeah...cuz thats just not cool...its ok for a show car...but to use it to drift with would be askign to blow a tire and break soemthing

 

If youre willing to run 16x8s in the back, thats the size of FD wheels. Theyre pretty damn light and they look good too, especially when powdercoated.

 

motegi?

 

wow, didnt know that.... 8" is probably a good size?...

i want to stretch the tires so theres no sidewall flex when sideways..

 

right....but you do realize that with no flex means that you will be blowing the tire if you fould anythign up....let alone severely damaging your nice vehicle when it does blow from teh sidewall. I would recommend you sear teh subject of the tire stretching before performign it.

 

Ebay wheels for 300zx come up with good choices on the cheap. Ie. stock TT 16x8 and 16x9 wheels, or some aftermarket BBS versions like what I found one day, same size, same 9" rear width which makes the car look like it's related to a certain american V8 car without the torque.

 

you guys are really hating on the wider in the rear style.. hey?

isnt there a reason why all the professional drift drivers run stretched tires?...

 

well if anyone wanted r32 wheels heres a set on ebay:

skyline wheels

 

Come a little closer little doggie, I can't hear you..........





I guess my POS FC doesn't have 9" wide rear wheels? 245 tires are just my imagination?

 

Do a keyword search for "hipari", and you'll understand.

Yes, it's called I-gotta-be-stylish-and-follow-fads or my-sponsor-told-me-to-do-this-so-I-have-to.

88integraLS, you aren't actually parking that in a big mud puddle ALL THE TIME, are you? HA HA.

 

you can check ebay for rims for stock mustang or camaro. Saleen style rims came in 16x8 and 16x9 you can score those pretty easy these days on ebay. Just take a can of high gloss black to the rims without the center caps and they will look kick *** and be only around 400 bucks
