Heh, I think quite a few of us have been in the "ricer" stage at one point or another. I know I was back when I had my 92 240sx. I had some ADR's on it, along with various other things. They stopped making that style though, the closest thing they make now are the M Sports. The rims looked good on it though, silver 17x7's. couldnt beat the price at the time. I picked them up for $300 from a friend who later priced them on some "rare wheel website" for like $3,200. he was kicking himself and so am I now...but oh well, things come and go, especially rims.



Nice looking stuff so far, the Rega's set that car off IMO. Black on Black just plain out looks good always.

KompressorLOgic 01-16-2007 09:03 PM

Ya those regas look good on that car, they look kinda like older skool rims that match the car,



where as some of the new rims just dont seem to fit on 80's cars very well

sen2two 01-16-2007 10:31 PM

i got 3rd gen rims on my car right now. im loving it. 16x8 and only 15 lbs! i'll try nd gget some pics up

fcs13 01-16-2007 11:11 PM

You guys think maybe Watanabe's might look good under my blue GXL? I have been looking at the Volk GT-C's in 17x8's and 17x9's Silver finish. I currently have S5 GXL 5 stars under it. New tires cant go wrong just yet :-)

merzzzy 01-18-2007 08:07 PM

I dont know what kind of rims these are, maybe someone here knows?

'01 cobra wheels. 17x8 all the way around, 275/40's out back 245/45's up front. Front fenders are rolled, backs are stock.

The pics are with 245/40's and 245/45's.

Leetheslacker 01-24-2007 11:44 PM

next time i have $$ and go to the junkyard i plan on grabbing some starion wheels to play with too.

fcs13 01-25-2007 10:29 AM

Cool wheels so far. I found some 17x9/17x10 cobra rims last night. Would these even fit? I know spacers would be a must but how thick would they need to be? 17x9 fronts seem like they would at least require spacers and then over fenders to cover the wheel a little. But then the 17x10 rears...thats pretty damn wide. would look good though.

17x9 and 17x10 should fit with around +24 offset on both. this is with fenders rolled and a little camber. but it really depends on tire size.

Midnightdriver 01-25-2007 03:32 PM

5zigen pro racer gn+ 17x7.5 front and 17x8.5 rear.

So the 17x9,10's will should fit with about +24 offset. I am not too keen on offsets and the like but you also mentioned depending on tire size. I dont plan on getting any tires that will be too thick. maybe a 45 series or a 50 series at thickest. the tires will also be no wider than the wheels themselves. they might JUST seat on the rim. maybe someone can show me some pics of a similar application. I have read on a few post where some of you are going so far as a 12'' wide rear be it for drag racing but still. Anyone help me think of some options for the 9''fronts and 10''rears? any info would be cool, thanks

275's come within 1/2 inch of rubbing the control arms on the rear. And no not all cobra wheels are 9's

Those have got to be some of the sexiest wheels in relation to rear wheel width I have seen. I am liking very much. Thanks for the pic input, you are the man https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.gif
