aqm looking to buy A set of 18" wheels , and i just cant seem to find what i am looking for , ideally i want 5 spokes with a deep dish but there not much out there , i would prefer 2nd hand to save some pennies !!

 

can someone advise me on what other car makes will fit ? and whats the pcd and offset i need ? so far i have just been on websites and done it by make and model !!

search ebay under wheels tyres and trims for: 5x114.3, 300zx, supra, soarer, rx7, gto, 3000gt,

 

I've got some 18" 5 spoke deep dish work equips?

thought so :shifty:

 

also have a look on the driftworks forum, theres a for sale section just for wheels now, you have to get in quick though if theres some you like as the drift boys soon snap them up.

sorry for butting in but would the 5x114.3 take 265 tires?

yeah 5x114.3 is just the stud pattern lol... mine's got 265/35 R18 on the rear :wheelchair:

The j designation is the width of the tire and denotes what width tires you put on iirc

what offset do i need guys ?

everones opinion on these ??

Those are 17's

I think there are a couple of Zeds running those on these forums, pics here for you to see what they look like on a Z: http://300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=149054

A bit pricey for SH 17's though ??

 

I know how you feel, I am chasing some S/H 18's with reasonable tyres and seems I have been fighting a losing battle !

Just keep an eye on ebay, be patient, my 18's came across at 350 quid with reasonable tyres on them. There not to everyone's taste though i suppose.

let me rephrase my question, would 8.5 take 265 tires? :)

No !

Well they would squeeze on, but not as they should.

for 265 tires you should have 9" minimum.

try http://www.wheel-whores.com/

 

Also check out other jap car forums, as mentioned above: Supra, Lexus, RX7 etc

 

Some'll turn up dude.

what about these guys ? please read discription and let me know if these will be suitable for a 300 !! offset , tyre size etc

Youll find many of the new e bay rims are pants,they peel at the slightest mention of moisture,id avoid at all costs.Ive read several posts from people complaining of e bay wheels blistering within months of getting them.

what wheels are yours jimmer i really like the look of your zed (im guessing its your zed in your sig)

I think I will avoid eblag tbh . when I have seen them on a car they have looked crap compared to the images on ebay. I have offered 500 for the ones on the first link I posted up (modena ones) are they worth 500 though ?

TBH ebay wheels is a bit of a sweeping statement, certain brands may be prone to the blistering, the thing is finding which ones are bad ?

I think the ones linked have been quite popular, so hopefully there are some user experiences to see what they are like ?

 

As for OP question on those wheels, AFAIK you would need a different spigot ring as Supra's are not the same as Zeds (I think they are quite inexpensive).

But otherwise I think they should fit nicely.

Tyre sizes are a little bigger diameter than stocks, but just about in the limits, personally I would be inclined to go for 255/35/18 and 225/40/18 because its closer to original diameter.

what do you think of the 17" modena ones I posted , just not sure if 500 is a good price for 2nd hand !

They are ok mate, but £500 is a bit heavy for those in 17". With regards to ebay specials I personally would never have them, don't really like the look of them and heard too many stories about laquer peeling and blistering within months of them being new, even with no kerb damage to start it off. Did you look on driftworks? with a budget of around £500 you should find some decent make jap split rim wheels, modenas are ok, but you may also find some other decent brands, work, volk racing, blitz etc.

I did look on d works , but I can't seem to find anythink :( looked everywer else I can think of aswell ! dont know if I an am being to fussy but most of what I have seen look like boring old 5 spokes or too much . please help lol

I seen a nice set of bbs but in a bm e36 , are they the same fitment ?

No BMW fitment is different, you can get hubcentric adaptors though, I believe one of the mods here has them (Vodkashots maybe) ?

that would be ideal , wil pm vodkashots later to see how big a job it is and wer to get them !
