cjr198car Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) EDIT: pay no attention to my poor grammar in the title. Cleaned and painted no clear coat... Clear coated (really brings out the color)... 280ZX wheels caps (filled in the Z and outer ring) just need to prime and paint... Just ordered these tires (195/60R14), heres the specs and desription: Azenis RT-615 Street Legal Motorsports UTQG: 200 A A - Next generation Azenis RT Spec Pure Sports performance - Improved Motorsports grade cap compound maintains grip over a wide range of operating temperatures - Increased internal void ratio delivers enhanced wet grip and aquaplane resistance under competition conditions - 8/32nd molded tread design reduces tread squirm when new while providing predictable mileage for street use - 200/A/A UTQG qualifies for SCCA Street Tire Class competition Im getting pretty excited for summer even though there was snow on the ground this morning :( -Colton Edited March 25, 2009 by cjr198car Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Sweet rims & the color looks great! Good idea filling in the Z on the caps too. I have a set ill be running on my wagon soon. Also polished & painted. Do you know if they accept stock lugs ? Quote Link to comment
cjr198car Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) Love the polish and painting. I have a lug nut that looks like this with a closed end opposed to the open end in the pics. Im not sure if the lug nuts have to be specific to the wheels. Im very happy with this wheel. It was cheap, two-piece, looks good (subjective), only 13 pounds, great offset (+12), and Nissan specific. -Colton Edited March 25, 2009 by cjr198car Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I have a lug nut that looks like this with a closed end opposed to the open end in the pics. Im not sure if the lug nuts have to be specific to the wheels Actually, those Nissan mag wheels do have to run the Nissan style of lug nuts. The general aftermarket mag lug nuts will not fit. Either buy them from Nissan for a few bucks each or get them used from a wrecking yard for cheap. http://www.bleachgarage.com/sale.html Quote Link to comment
cjr198car Posted March 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 195-60-14 Falken Azenis Good looking tire (nice square look on the ZX wheel...has that race rim/tire look). Sorry for the cell phone pics. -Colton PS Dave sent me a few 185-55-14 series tire shots that I need to upload to my flickr account and post for comparison. Quote Link to comment

Last time I checked, it fits in my pocket just fine. They didn't stop me or ask to pay for them so I just walk out with them.:lol: Well at least 2 trips to my car then back in again. You know, pretend you need more tools. Very nice finish on those wheels Quote Link to comment

inline4 Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 (edited) versus sometimes I prefer lower profile series over the 60 on 14's :o Edited March 28, 2009 by inline4 Quote Link to comment
Guest jaimesix Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 you can get the tires here (185-55-14): tires-easy.com Hi. I got a set from Online tires. I will try them on my 14 X 8 to see how they look. So far the tires look great, wider and lower than the 185 60s I have . I had 2 new 185 / 60s as spares, but compared to the 185 55 ones, no match. Can't wait to see how they look. Jaime.___________________________________________________- Quote Link to comment

Jaime.___________________________________________________- Cjr198car. Got the tires mounted. 185 fifty fives on 14 by eight wheels. Look nice, and surprisingly not a stretched look, but a perfect fit. Got the pixes at my 610s thread, Project 610 SSS , in the Datsun projects section. Thanks for the information on where to buy these tires, I was about to buy 60 series tires, and judging by the looks of these 55's, I was about to make the least best purchase posible.
