need info on these rims, and i have some other questions.

[Guest ON3GO]

I dont have a pic or anything but they are made by Enkei, and there like a black mesh rim with a silver lip. whats the name of these rims? also i know there hard to find but does anybody know were i can get a set in 16x8?

also whats the correct offset for these rims on a 240Z, and if i run 245-45-16zr is there gonna be any rubbing? i will be runing coilovers also,

Tom's right - they're scarcer than hen's teeth. I had set of Enkei's with my last 280 that were wide enough that the tires rubbed the springs at full compression, and they were 7's. Without flares, you probably wouldn't need anything wider than that.

 

I looked around for years to find another set after I sold that car, and the closest I found were by a company called Prime. They were closing theirs out, and only had 16 x 7" wheels in white. They have probably sold out by now, but they were the only ones that looked remotely close. Check your local Discount Tire and see if they might be able to find some gathering dust in a warehouse somewhere.

 

Good luck!

the link didnt work for me...

thanks guys for the help.

I dont have any discount tire stores near me i dont think.

16 by 7 would be fine too i just thought they made them in 8.

I will run flairs, im ordering ZG flairs as soon as i can.

theres a guy around my town with a mid 80's mustang with these rims the "92" so if i can ill see if i can get them off him and figure how to get them to work.. i just really need these rims..

there awesome..

if anybody has them let me no.

I think its called the '92'(not sure). There were some for sale w/tires 16 X 7 on a 240SX forum I saw about month or so ago. I can't find the site now (I was surfing at work!). I think he was asking about $800 for rims and tires. They were black.

 

16 X 7 are very rare, I have never seen Enkei 92's in a 16 X 8. I'm sure there are some in a far away corner of the planet, but who knows?

 

The '92' model has not been made for over 10 years now. Finding them (correct size, color, bolt pattern) might not be the problem, paying for them may be the issue

Thanks guys.

 

The Panasport C8 rim.. i know its a race rims but is it strong enough for street driving? I love the deep dish style and its a badass looking rim.

and the ULFF rim... is that also ok for street use?

 

thanks
