Help me find a discontinued wheel. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

mnsmith293 · 12-13-2013, 01:38 PM

Hey guys, I just picked up a set of XXR 513 (I know not legit) The fronts are 16x7 +15 and the rears are 16x8 +0. Thy were used and a great bargain except for that one of the fronts is cracked. I can't find anyone with them in stock and I would prefer not to have it repaired. My question for you guys is do you know if anyone still has one in stock, do you know if repairing a wheel is safe?

repairing a wheel is absolutely safe. Ive had rims repaired for $60 and $200 depending on the type of wheel. Repairing a cracked XXR wouldnt run you more than a hundred bucks. Keep in mind most shops that do rim repair warranty their repairs. Shop around, youll be glad you did.
Unless the wheel is obliterated, in which case; ebay.

Thanks a ton, since I've scoured the net looking for a used/new replacement I think I'm going to get it repaired. Does anyone know if my figment will be terrible on a stock bodied lowered s13 coupe by the way? Probably at least going to need spacers in the front to even it out.

It won't look too bad. Maybe plate spacers in the front.

mnsmith293 · 12-31-2013, 09:39 AM

So the wheel repair guy said they were beyond repair and I can't find anyone with them in stock new so I guess I need to find someone with a used one or buy a whole new set of wheels, this sucks. If anyone knows someone with a xxr 513 in 16x7 +15 or two in a different offset then let me know.

Buy a new set. Keep the rear pair as Drift spares, and make the one Good front Into a Coffee Table.

*kingkilburn* · 12-31-2013, 03:07 PM

Some times the plaster needs a little touch up.

*kingkilburn* · 12-31-2013, 03:11 PM

*brndck* · 12-31-2013, 04:40 PM

Did the face crack or the barrel? Barrels are normally repairable. If the face cracked it's trash.

WristWork · 12-31-2013, 04:56 PM

16x7 on an s13 lol

chuck it in the gutter and go buy another

mnsmith293 · 01-03-2014, 01:21 PM

I searched for a while and noticed that amazon had one wheel of my size in stock. I ordered it and only now a week later they tell me its actually out of stock. This is becoming kind of annoying the guy who sold me the wheels was an xxr dealer and was like oh we can just order you a replacement for the cracked wheel or have it fixed and now it appears that it won't be nearly as simple. EBay had no single 513s in the size I need either.

!Zar! · 01-03-2014, 03:22 PM

Maybe it's a sign not to run those wheels.

mnsmith293 · 01-03-2014, 07:10 PM

Possibly but it would be dumb to not at least try when I already have 3/4 wheels sitting here ready to go.

***FaLKoN240*** · 01-03-2014, 07:36 PM

Melt them down into a set of cheap silverware for your house.

Already have rota forks and spoons so that's a no go.

HeyGirlHeyyy · 01-03-2014, 09:03 PM

Bam. 16x7 +15 4x114.3

Took me one search to find these. Yes, I understand that you don't need a full set. What I would suggest doing is contact the seller and see if they will sell you one wheel. I'm sure they will, most people on eBay like money.

Edit: Double bam. 1 16x7 +15 4x114.3 wheel. Not trying to be rude, but did you really look?

mnsmith293 · 01-03-2014, 09:30 PM

If you call fr sport they are actually out of stock and I'm contacting that eBay seller to see if they will sell me just one right now. Edit - (4x114.3 BTW) also I noticed your SIG these are the wheels from murica motorsports wrecked s13.

HeyGirlHeyyy · 01-03-2014, 09:53 PM

My mistake, I meant 114.3. But yep, unfortunately that car is no more. Best of luck on your search btw!

Ps. Try Next Level Motoring. I know they sell XXRs as well.
