Tom1200 Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Yes, cheap.... For a street car buy something you like the look of. For my old street B210 I had a set of Enkei wheels mainly because they came with some race parts I bought for my 1200 and one of them had been repaired. I trusted them on a road car but wasn't going to race on them. I have Shelby Super Cars (BBS look alikes) on my 1200. They are 13", which I use because race tries are readily available and the rules call for that size. My spare set are Hotwires (mesh wheel). Most aluminum wheels will work so again buy them in a style you like. Quote Link to comment

I don't know what size I want yet, but I want to put wide rims( deep dish in a way) in the back. Quote Link to comment
Dolomite Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 $500 isn't much to work with. Maybe 280zx wheels, any of the three would fit your budget if you're patient for a decent set at a good price. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 $500 is a full set of Rotas, and maybe a couple of tires. No way to be more JDM than Philippine's Finest. Quote Link to comment

flatcat19 Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Those comps are good looking wheels. I also really like the Apache remake they offer. I don't think they offer the offset OP is looking for though. He sounds like a guy who favors fashion over function. 2 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Do your homework first. Find out what will and will not fit. Any rim/tire that extends outside the fender risks having the body come down on it, on bumps and this is even more so if you later lower your ride height. Rims can be positioned inward or outward but adding or subtracting offset. Once you know what offset you need to properly 'fit' your car, then and only then, go out rim shopping. Rims should fit the car.... not the car made to fit the rims. There is nothing better looking than a car with well fitted rims and tires and nothing so sad looking than one that doesn't.
