Pacific coast Datsun Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 Lucky me picked up a set of 18 inch Titan rims today for $50 ! I met up with a member of my friends site http://www.nissancustoms.com today who was selling them. They have some curb rash but nothing major, ill prob. end up repairing them & using them on my HB sometime down the road. The tires wil be deposited in the dumpster, theyre bald. Overall im happy to have them & the wife even understood that @ that price i HAD to buy them:D Quote Link to comment
doord521 Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 nice pick up!!! Chrome always looks good... Then lay the 320 out on them... Quote Link to comment
spiffinspudater Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 I dont know why I said paint them green other than that EVERYONE has titans and they are either chrome or silver... I think body color would look interesting. Quote Link to comment
yello620 Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 I would repair them and repaint them a dark grey silver(anthricite, sp?). Like the color of lots of the other late model nissan truck wheels, but a little darker. That way they are not painted body color to any one vehicle and you could put them on any Ratsun you choose.

77/620RaTsooN Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 are the titan wheels the only sweet lookn big rims for a ratsun Quote Link to comment
spiffinspudater Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 are the titan wheels the only sweet lookn big rims for a ratsun No, they aren't. But they can be found inesxpensive like and fit with little modification. the inifinity suv rims also fit. Most GMC rims fit ( I think) A few others too. Quote Link to comment

Pacific coast Datsun Posted September 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Well ive gotten alot of good feedback ..thanks guys. Ill prob. end up putting these on my HB which will involve flaring the bedsides & losing the inner fenderwells up front :rolleyes: Im leaning towards painting them green... Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 how about clean them and don't repair them. as-is :D Quote Link to comment
tnip Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 my personal opinion is that doing them all green to match your hb might not look very well, just my opinion. as an alternative, i was thinking it might be better to maybe, just do the surface in green and the rest in a satin black. i don't really know how to explain it any better than that. it's just when i imagine in my head those wheels done entirely in the same color as the truck and then on that truck, it just looks like too much. i think if it was a smaller rim, or if the spokes where thinner, then maybe. but i think just completely color matching them will be kinda too much. would it be possible to polish sections of them? i've never seen them up close in person so i don't know if that's even a viable option, but maybe polish the spokes and just paint the inside of the rim the same green. anyway i just feel like the color would look good, but completely colored would be too much. my 2 cents.

Guest DatsuNoob Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 make sure the aren't 2006 rims, they're a much smaller lug pattern same as the Dodge six-lug. I had to find this out the hard way, but in the end was able to flip 'em. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 You can tell these aren't by the pics. The small bolt pattern wheels are REALLY small. :) Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 Re-sell them and buy chrome Infinity wheels Quote Link to comment
pugz Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 so do they titans tuck on a 521??? whats needed to make them fit? just bore the wheels like on the hb's to clear the huibs???? Quote Link to comment
fiveoneohray Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 mmmm powdercoated black.... i love mine just until someone curbs them while borrowing your truck :mad: Quote Link to comment

Yeah I had a set on a 521 I used to have..... Just make sure when you enlarge the center of the wheel its enough, don't want those wheels falling off :D Quote Link to comment

I had to find this out the hard way, but in the end was able to flip 'em. Titans have the same patern as our trucks, it is the pathfinder/frontier trucks that changed which sucks cuz they have some really cool wheels. oh well, the dodge guys can use them.

Bleach Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 aaah, so even the modern Titan/Armada/QX56 wheels will still fit. I bought some QX56 chrome 18's for my truck. Quote Link to comment
