Okay,
I've been thinking about getting some new wheels for a while now...

I'm addicted to dish...

I want some nice 5 spoke dish 18s... maybe 9" wide for a bit more grip...

anyway, one of the mechanics at work happens to be selling his... and they are EXACTLY what i had in my head...

right stud pattern (off a series 5 RX7), right shape... however... they are 19's....

so im a bit worried about them...19x8 (35 profile) fronts and 19x9 (30 profile) rears...

I was thinking i'd swap them around... If they stick out wide, thats okay, as i'm hoping to get my guards pumped out anyway...

thoughts??

(will get pics soon...)

Pics:



same thing but with chrome lip and silver spokes...

That is about the same dish as the fronts, with the rears having about double the dish...

i.e. rears have about this much dish:


they look horny... will test fit them to my car when i get a chance

Just got price from Bob Janes for these things...

After trade discount its:
19x9 $600 ea + $400 rubber
19x8 $550ea + $400 rubber
18x8 $450 ea + $300 rubber

So his set are worth around the $3900 mark... they look in great nic with plenty of tread, so for $1500 im thinking they're a good deal..

Check the Nissan sites, they sell hot rims all the time for a good price

*dribbling*

those are hottt rims...How heavy are they??

really like them...

The rims look hot....but 400$ tyres ....Holy sh!t....

Im runnin 19 with 35's front and rear....welcome to a harsh new world..youll need to roll the guards.the 19's really fill out the wheel arch but they make your discs look tiny

Planning on rolling the guards and going widebody anyway...

and i have 353mm 6piston brakes...

I've always been curious if deep dish rims suit FTOs, since I never really saw anybody with them on their car before. Be curious to see how it turns out!

Oh and about time u changed the rims sam

mm... Adz has dish rims on his... they are horny as!

and whats wrong with my current wheels???

Get the deep dish for sure .. if you don't you're always going to want to upgrade..

Get some spacers too

lol nothing really wrong with em, but i'm sure you're getting some now as there's a few others which'd probably suit your car more, just saying u spent so much money on other things, sure u had rims on the mind and now your finally changing them

@ Sublime, bennos has deep dish.

Yeah i think they will look good sam, suit your car definitly

*nods*

See Sig.

Only a 1inch dish, but a dish none the less. I like teh dish look

Those bad boys will look hawt. Just make sure they're not boat anchors in weight.

Anyway, these ones look hot..
