M240Z Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 So I came across this on the interwebz. I've been wanting some old school 16s but they're so hard to find and really expensive. I was wondering what you all thought of these? They are 526 i think, 17x9 and 17x10. I just dont want my car to look like a donk. Quote Link to comment

Dat Lurka Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I wouldn't go bigger than 16. Quote Link to comment
Ratty260z Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Only 17's I would have considered is the Rota RB's and RBR's I guess since they were made specifically for our cars they fit pretty good. Otherwise 16's look great along with 15's which still have a large tire selection. Quote Link to comment
Ranman72 Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 donk would be 22s on a stock height or even lifted that stupid way they do but 16s look mighty fine on a z Quote Link to comment
M240Z Posted December 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Thanks guys! Ive always wanted some classic 16s, I think I'm just getting impatient. Quote Link to comment
I'm BLUE Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Bigger wheels have to be seen in person from more aspects and light than a simple picture. 15-17's are good on some. Check out mustang cobra and bullit wheels for an idea. I have bullit 17x9's and 17x8's for my project 240z. Rotas/Konigs are a popular wheel on the s30 ( as you know). People who don't like bigger wheels .. on some cars ... usually haven't given them a chance first lol ( I mean some look like absolute shit ... but hey the owner likes em and THAT's what counts :D ) I've shown a few people my 17's on my z ... Changed their mind on the spot ... Or made em hate it that much more lol 1 Quote Link to comment

ComicArtist Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 That picture is actually an s30 local to me, I've seen it in person and it doesn't look bad. It takes a lot of tweaking to make 17"s look right though, I much prefer 14"s or 15"s Quote Link to comment
M240Z Posted December 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Yea thats the only Z on 17s that has appealed to me, I also think that I can go lower than that Z is but I think Im going to hold out for some 16 inch Epsilon or SSR....anyone selling some? Quote Link to comment
arck001 Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 I think they can be pulled off with the right set of tires. Here's a 260z 2+2 on RBs Quote Link to comment
RudyV Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 I think they can be pulled off with the right set of tires.Here's a 260z 2+2 on RBs Looks Evil :devil: haha if i get a chance ill stop by my former teachers class. he has a 240 on 17s but they look incredibly small. like 15s? oh and hes tuning for auto x looks good imo Quote Link to comment
Dawa Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 4 years ago when i had a Z i saw a photo of this dude who had put (17") mustang reps on his Z and i was reaaally diggin it Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted December 19, 2012 Report Share Posted December 19, 2012 ^^ There nice wheels but I see them on almost every damn mustang and kind started disliking them but to each there own i just think there very simple looking wheel my brother has the same wheels but in 18 inch on his 97 cobra. 17's on a S30 do look a little too big but if done right they can look really good I kind like sticking to 16's and under.
