opinions on these..I want to buy

[innerware]

What do you think about these wheels?

http://www.craigslist.com/pen/car/73419347.html

I might have a chance to get them, haven't called him back yet. I also don't know the offset, or tire size. Is there anything else I should ask him?? I just want to get rid of my hubcapped stock rims. Also want to put the s12w brakes on and these should fit them.

 

Thanks for any input,

Kyle

i think they would look cool... offset should be like 40+ if i remember correctly. To me its a good price, only other thing you would need are spacers which you can get from http://www.modern-motorsports.com/catalog/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=&products_id=6&PHPSESSID=2099d5ea2876cd3603681c0f3814a39f

for $215. Hope i was of some help to you.

Yah, looks like the same size (mine are 5 spokes) I have on my Z. Came off an acura integra. By the looks of them, the tires are probly a little thin, (low pro.. probly 40's) so your spedo would be off a bit but your acceleration would be slightly better.. I built 1" spacers myself for the fronts, and the rear fit without spacers. (cost me $70 material and about 2 hours of my time) I'm running 205/55/r16 all around, and have a 'slight' rub on the right front.. I'm going to do adjustalbe coil-overs.. or something. My stock springs are shot anyway.

 

Something else to think aboot.. those rims (like mine...) will need special 'tuner' style lug nuts. Spline drive/special key, or something. (lug holes will be too small for regular lug nuts)

 

AND... you'll have to switch wheel studs to longer ones with the more common M12X1.5 thread. (stock Z's are M12X1.25 I think.. If I screwed up those #'s, someone please tell me, I'll edit. )

Thanks for all the help. It may be a little more work than I wanted. Afterall with the extra time and money I would have to spend I should just save up for some rewinds and tires. It certainly would be easier. I hadn't even thought about the offset being that off and the studs needing replacing. Not worth it IMO for used wheels that I think are just OK. If they were a wheel I could just throw on then it would have been fine. Thanks again for all the great help I receive on this site. I'll keep saving.
