i was wondering if i could have your opinion z32 wheels or SE wheels thanks..

TurK · 03-26-2004, 11:48 AM

ive been seein ppl goin w/ the z32 latly....i guess cuz a lot of ppl already have the se wheels...

pruto · 03-26-2004, 11:57 AM

i like them both. depends on what you like to do. SE wheels are very versitle, but narrow and crap offsets. z tt wheels looks nice, the rear is pretty flush. you can put some decent size rubber on it and it'll grip like a mofo. But with z brakes you can't use the rear wheels in the front. SE wheels i think are the drifter's choice for s14 owners. But OEM wheels rock, cheap and good quality.

I agree with Pruto about the flushness, the SE wheels are a not so hot offset, the Z TT weels are a lot more fluss. And the Z wheels are designed to cool the brakes so i say Z TT wheels!! Here is a pic comparing flushness in the rear on my S14.......................

man i wish i was getting the TT but im getting the N/A for $150

s14xman · 03-26-2004, 12:37 PM

You could probably get a set of TT's for $200. I got my set for $220 w/tires and it included an extra front left rim with tire.

Both look nice if you re-finish them. I have a set of TT's I paid $150 for on ebay....+$75 shipping. I ground down all curb rash and filled the divots with JB weld...then repainted them silver. They look new now.

how much should i get em off the guy for?

DRFT · 03-26-2004, 02:10 PM

little OT, but does anyoen know if s14 SE will clear 30mm calipers? didnt find it on search, or maybe im not trying hard enough...

I like the style of S14 SE wheels over z32 wheels though, but not a bigfan of the offsets though

pruto · 03-26-2004, 06:32 PM

nightwalker · 03-27-2004, 06:23 PM

i thought it was the struts that didnt clear in the front?
ive seen the tt's all around with spacers.

blackkoukirps13 · 03-28-2004, 09:00 PM

what are the size/offset of the z32 wheels?........anyone know how they look on a s13?

pruto · 03-28-2004, 10:23 PM

dude, you can make mesh wheels clear z brakes with big enough spacers. Spacers = magik.
I think it was the strut you can't clear, i only tried it out once myself. But that wasn't my point, my point is that in some situations, say track/drifting (when you need ALL of your rubber sometimes), you can't just throw your rears on the front. Inconvient, but eh, whatever. Sometimes you don't realize how useful having 4 of the same wheels can be, very practical.
