Hey every one..

Well i was going to use some money i have been saving up to get my stand alone. but my tunner has been so busy its going to take about a month before we can do that. So i got my car running great this week. And i think i wanna pick up a set of wheels.

Most of you might remember my Super Advans SA3R's i had. (sadly missed)

I am dead set on Work VS-XX wheels
RBmotoring sells alot of used JDM wheels, and usually always has Work VS-XX's

My car has stock fenders, 5lug, Z32 brakes
Here are the offsets/size they currently has.

18x9.5+32 18x11+32 5x114

18x9+38 18x10+38 5x114

18x8.5+31 18x9+38 5x114

Do you think any of these will sit flush? I also don't want to run spacers.

Opinions also appreciated on wheel style and color.
I like the gold, and i think it will look good on my car...

Just so you have an idea on what the wheels will go on. Here is a pic of my car.

Here is pics of the 18x9.5+32 18x11+32 (which i think is to big)

Image


Here is a pic of the 18x9+38 18x10+38

Image


And here is a pic of the 18x8.5+31 18x9+38 (which i dont care much for.. lip size)

Here are some 17x8+35 17x9+35

Would this be a better offset, i was set on 18's but i am not sure if the offsets they have in 18's is what i am looking for.

Just a reminder.. these wheels well be more for daily driving BLING BLING.
i am not looking for a wheel that will give me performance. as i will have wheels simply for drag.

I'd go with these. I know for a fact the rear ones will fit fine because I have the same setup (17x9 +35)

Image


The front should fit... you may need a 5mm spacer or something, its really hard to tell unless you do some measurements, and depending on your suspension.

ok, so after talking to a couple ppl.. i come to find out that these 30+ offsets are way to big and wont fit my car. and i needed something less.

So i found a set of VS-XX on another forum for sale. Here they are.
They were just repolished.

18x8+9 18x9+21

What do you think about the color.... Size... offset

Oh.. and thanks Murphy for showing me these..

There gold.. i also like the gold more...

but i honestly think the polish ones wouldn't look bad at all.. but i would prefer the gold ones also.

Id just rock them the way they are, unless i really get tired of them and get them powder coated..

I am doing a little homework on Offsets fo figure out what would be best.
I think the polish ones will need a spacer up front.. (not sure)

go for the vs-xx in 17s and you will need at least a 5mm spacer or more.. but 17s are better they look right for the s13s shape, 18s way big, expensive tires and the offsets make them a little difficult

Yea i am really aiming towards the 18' polished. due to price..

Here are some more pics of the wheels for your viewing pleasures.
I am still waiting for the guy to email me back.

These are pics of the previous owner. (not the current)
The current owner recently got the wheels re-polished. so they are much more cleaner. (as seen in the pic above ^^^)

What about the 17x8+35 17x9+35....

KiLLeR2001's car seems like that size fit well, just might need to space the front's....

I really am leaning towards the Gold ones.. i think they would look best with my car.

I wish i could find Gold 18's but then again i cant beat the price of the 17's

Now its time to buy tires.

I have been a proud Falken customer, so i might go back to them.
Maybe some FK-452's

Not sure yet:

As far as tire size id like to go decently wide, but i might have to remember about the fenders and the coilovers

I dont mind rolling the fenders.. either.
Id just have to find some one to do it, or rent the tool

Update:

My wheels got shipped today, it takes about 5 days to get to PA.
I ordered them from RBmotoring

I might wait till i get the wheels to see what tires i should get.
I dont want to get them 2 wide and they rub on something..

I went with...

17x8+35 17x9+35
