Hi Guys, just looking for your opinion on these cheapy eBay wheels!

 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/18-GUN-METAL-ST16-STYLE-ALLOY-WHEELS-FITS-NISSAN-GTS-91-98-/271580300476?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&fits=Model%3A300+ZX&hash=item3f3b7284bc

 

I would be fitting proper bolt on Eibach 15mm spacers all round - I already have these and are new/never used otherwise I might have used 20/25mm spacers.

The effective offset and sizes would then be....

 

8.5" ET25 front with 235/40's

9.5" ET27 rear with 265/35's

 

Unsure if gun metal grey 6 spoke will look good on my gun metal SWB?

Any thoughts or pics of example appreciated.

 

Thanks.

I think they will look pretty good mate and they maybe cheap but once you got them wrapped in some decent rubber and on your car they should look sweet better than what i got for my new build I had to buy used to be refurbed keep costs down ;)

Not too dissimilar to mine mate, I could have ordered gunmetal wheels but I opted for hyper silver cos they look pukka :p

just get 18 inch wheels I think 19s look to big and looks like a clown car.

Cheap enough, the only thing that put me off the 18" Rota GTR`s which I looked at was the widths. An 18" wheel thats only 9.5j on the back imo is going to look skinny, which is why in the end I ended up with a wheel that is perhaps not as pretty but looks bloody good from behind..

Yep, already got some reasonable rubber to wrap them in.

Yes, I had noticed - they look great! I'd order hyper silver if that was an option, just a little unsure about the grey on grey thing?!

Fully agree, 18" for me, especially being the SWB car.

 

But on second thoughts, at that price just go for it :)

Cheap enough at that aren't they, at that money its not the end of the world if I hate them after a while.

 

Thanks Guys:)
