shane_lxi Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 (edited) Hello all, havent been on for a while, but I still love this site! Anyway, I sold my 521's and eventually got ahold of this '86 5spd cressida and I'm looking for something that might be just a bit smaller. The wheels are ARE Ultra Mesh 16x8 +10, and they are a dual 4x114.3 (datsun, nissan, toyota, etc.) and 4x4.25 (ford) lug pattern. They are used, and very old. I polished the lips, they looked like shit when I got them, but the powder coat is imperfect, and there are some spots chipped through on the center caps. The fake rivets that went around the face of the wheel were removed/broken when I polished the wheels. I had originally planned to get .22 shells and pound them into the empty holes, but I've been rolling with them empty for a while and they look sick. They were very very dirty when I bought them, but I polished the lips almost to a mirror finish, so they look pretty good. Could use a repainting on the face, but other then that, super nice and rare wheels. Tires are brand new, 2 week old 185 50 16 Toyo Proxes T1S. A tiny tiny bit of wear on the rear from burnouts with -1100 degrees camber, lol. I am looking for wheels with similar or lower offsets, preferably not mesh. Also looking for something possibly a little smaller, 14" or 15", but I've been told most 14"s won't clear my calipers, so I'll have to test fit if trading for 14"s to cover my ass. Let me know!! YES! I DO HAVE ALL 4 CENTER CAPS!, but I didnt have them on when I took these pics. Edited February 13, 2009 by shane_lxi Link to comment
Skib Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 (edited) Iv been lookin for a set of 8in wide wheels for the Z, what kind of wheels are you lookin for? Iv got a set of 15x7 280ZX snow flakes in great shape, clear coated alum. Edited February 14, 2009 by Skib Link to comment
LeX Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 i got some ultra rare riversides... 15x6.5 front +13 and 15x7 rear +3 Link to comment
shane_lxi Posted February 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Not really into the snow flakes. I just like wierd shit, like boyds, centerlines, oni, hiyashi, hoshino, etc. etc. Stuff that you dont see very often. I'll let you know about the 15"s man. I'd rather not go down to a 6.5" wide wheel, but I'll see what get's offered and let you know. Link to comment
DAW Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 I have a set of Centerline 15x7's with 2 new 225/50-15's and 2 good 205/55-15's. I'll try to get you pics. They are on my 240Z and I want to go with 8" wheels. Dave Link to comment

LeX Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Get some pics and we'll. Do you know the offset or anything? if you are willing to trade 2 of them i will trade you a pair of 15x8 -10 for a pair of the 16x8 +10? Link to comment
LeX Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 i guess that wouldn't logically work for you too well though :D Link to comment

Bleach Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Shane, when are you going to sell those 18x9's? :D Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Datto510 I love that Car!!!!!! Better if there was a round headlamp conversion. Link to comment
510rob Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 What's up with the 5-speed Cressida? I don't think we ever got those up here in Canada. I'm with Hainz - that IS a cool car! Link to comment
Bleach Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 I see people driving cars like that more recently. I guess its the new fad after the 240SX. I don't see anything desirable about them. Looks like a 1st gen Maxima, which also was not too attractive. Link to comment
DAW Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Re the 15x7 Centerlines, I believe the offset is zero. I bought them brand new many years ago. They are on my autocross 240Z to get around when the race wheels/tires are not on it. I'll try to get pics next time I'm out to my car storage. DAW Link to comment

Says the guy selling "rising sun" t-shirts, lol. I've been talking about getting one of these since I was in high school. My wife and I have been talking more about kids and stuff, so I decided now was a good time to get a 4 door. I personally think they look sick if you do them right and dont go too crazy with them, all depends. Emo kids get their hands on them and fuck em up, lol. Plus, this way I dont have to get rid of any of my toys to buy a 4door when we have kids!! I've got a 7mgte ready to go in when my s13 is done and running. More pics with the center caps in...

DAW Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Shane, Some imbecile just totalled my '82 Maxima sleeper by making a U-turn into the passenger doors with his Expedition. It's still driveable but I'll probably be taking it apart. Anyway, the 205/55-15 V-rated tires are like new on Infinity 15x6.5 offset 20 rims. Any interest in something like these? DAW (dirty in the photo but they clean up fine) http://i205.photobucket.com/albums/bb237/DAW_cars/DSCN05570001.jpg Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Shane I like the car just put a little but cooler muffler on there. Link to comment
shane_lxi Posted March 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 haha. When I get some extra cash I'm going to have my buddy weld up a 2.5" with stainless boso tips (not huge ones). Stupid recession though, I only got 45 hours this last pay period.. that's about half my normal wages, it been like this for months :P. So exhaust is going to have to wait unfortunately.

Bleach Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Says the guy selling "rising sun" t-shirts, lol. If the rising sun even is a fad, I had the hood before anyone on Northwest Nissans did. That theme originated here with this group of Datsun owners on this forum years ago. Link to comment
shane_lxi Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Chill out, jp jp. I like rising sun stuff, I like cressida's. Who wants my wheels :D. Link to comment
