Selling my 18s for 17s - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Well im gonna sell my 18 inch axis touring cups. My tires are pretty bald right now so i went to see how much tires are and the cheapest ones are like 130 each and thats wayyyyyyyy to much for me to afford considering im only in high school. So anyway im sellin them and buying 17s which are much more affordable. What wheels do you guys think would look good on my car? Im lookin for a set of wheels and tires for around $1000. Post pics of ones you think would look nice

oh yah heres my car

Your car looks good with those rims. Why not just get them in 17's then? Unless you don't like them

95twoforty · 06-12-2002, 07:25 PM

I do like them but I will spend a while cleaning them and the next day they will be all nasty with brake dust already. Also if i were to get 17s in those it would still be 200 bucks over my budget. Right now these are the wheels i am leaning towards...

i like the second one you showed.. but im not much for rivets around the rim tho... do you know how much they weigh? is weight even an issue?

Matt240SE · 06-13-2002, 10:05 AM

Hey 95twoforty, how was the ride with your 18s??

Was it really harsh or was it pretty comfortable??

Also what about your handling with the 18s was it better than the 16s?

hookedup240 · 06-13-2002, 12:47 PM

I think you should get the first picture

95twoforty · 06-13-2002, 02:57 PM

jps: i dont know how much they weigh. it really isnt an issue for me because pretty much whatever i get will be lighter than what i have now.

matt: the ride with the 18s isnt too bad but still obviously pretty rough because i had 35 profile tires on there. On smooth roads it feels like any other car but when it gets bumpy you can really feel it. Handling wise, i dont know because i have never driven the car without these rims on it.

Also, anyone wanna buy these bad boys from me? 400 bucks
they are like 250 a piece new i think

i say go with the first pic.  s14's look great with a wheel with a nice fat lip.  i'm getting 17"5zigen typhoons next year.

btw, with your color get them in gunmetal with a polished lip, if available. that would look great.
