Fitting up some new wheels to my 521

[NSRz32]

My other wheels are Western Turbines in 15x10 with a big negative offset and fit well with my flares but I was craving something different to change it up.

 

Here are my turbines on the truck...

 

And here are the wheels I purchased from a fellow Ratsuner for a screaming deal. I'm not sure of the brand, they're similar to American Racing Outlaw II's or the old Pacer Wheels but are slightly different. There appears to have been a sticker on the inside lip at some point with the brand/specs, who knows. They're lug centric (suck!) like the turbines and many old school wheels and not overly heavy. 15x10 with an unknown offset (I'll measure next time they're off the truck)

 

 

I polished the lips and painted the centers black

 

 

 

The offset is slightly more negative than my Turbines and they fit up really well with the flares (lip 1/2" past flare in rear and lip 3/4" past flare in the front)

 

 

 

So what do you think?

Thanks guys! I definitely prefer the old school look/fitment to any modern oversized wheels tucked on a cut up truck :)

 

Ed- crazy coincidence on the rides. You still have your s130 or is it sold/gone?

The s130 was traded for my 521. I kept the engine/drivetrain and wheels. So yeah, it's gone..lol
