datsunfreak Posted November 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Finally gave in and ordered the wheels today. 14x7 -25 for the front and 14x7 -50 for the rear. :thumbup: 4 Link to comment
KELMO Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Those are just plain........BADASS! Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted November 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 I'll probably ditch the Bassett sticker, but keep the red pinstripe. I think it'll be pretty snazzy. Waffled back and forth between black and silver, but I want to start with black. I can always paint them another color later. :thumbup: 1 Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted November 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2014 Well, they told me since my wheels are a "custom order" that they wouldn't ship until December 12th. :sneaky: Then I get an email this morning that says they shipped out yesterday and will be here Tuesday. :thumbup: 6 Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted November 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Never been a hug fan of the plastic coupe grill, and since I've always wanted to use the sedan grill I had collecting dust for 10+ years... I like the way the headlight surrounds fit a little more flush. Thankfully the mounts for these are on the coupe even though they aren't used for anything... The mounts for the sedan grill, not so much... ^_^ Added some L brackets to the top to line up with the coupe grill mounts, and made some brackets to attach the bottom... I really do prefer the look of the sedan grill. Tim says it's because it makes it look more like a 510... :rofl: 3 Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted November 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 Getting antsy for my new wheels to show up. Remembered I had one wheel that is the same width and offset as my new fronts so I gave it a bash... Fairly aggro fit... Looking straight down, the lip is about 2-3mm inside the flare lip (what you see in the photo is the bottom wheel lip)... B) So I think the -25 offset will be perfect for the front. Just hoping the -50 isn't too aggro for the back... :rofl: Link to comment
KiloTango1200 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 I guess it's time for me to start looking for a Sedan grille now. It does look good though. Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted November 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 I guess it's time for me to start looking for a Sedan grille now. I've been waiting on you to pick this one up for almost a year now... :rofl: Finally got tired of it calling my name... B) Link to comment
dimlight65 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Tim says it's because it makes it look more like a 510 No, I said you prefer it because it (the "Grands Pa's" grille) looks like a 510's (grille). There's nothing in the world which will make the gorgeous 1200 Coupe look like a recycled old Fiat... oops, I mean a 510. Link to comment
