Wheels?

I'm thinking about getting another set of wheels, for day to day driving and leave my Evo enkeis for the odd track session. I don't want to spend too much, most of my parts on the 200 are second hand or were bought on group buys.

I'm thinking about some R33 GTR wheels. They are 17x9, a good offset, bolt on and are forged B) It'll mean I can squeeze some 255s on the back B)

i recon they will look ok mate. for me personally i like deep dished rims at the rear.
the 200 has an agressive stance so needs wheels to compliment that.

I totally agree, but I want to keep the car looking 'fairly' standard looking.

No kits, massive wheels, big spoilers, lairy paint job etc.

If I could I'd have a smaller exhaust just to keep that sleeper look, without the car looking too boring :)

Jay, there is a set on ebay at the mo, painted bronze. I might have a little bid on them :)

Yer I'm on the look out for a cheap set.

I'd settle for another set of my enkeis, but I can't seem to find any. They used to be dirt cheap.

The design is nice but dont like them in black. Look too dull on the car colour.

i think if you can get the bronze set go for it mate it'll look awesome, failing that it has to be the gunmetal/black set, it'll give the car a more evil look.
but having said that if you wanted it standard-ish looking then you'd have to go for the silver.
its down to what look you want really,
bronze or gunmetal for aggression
silver for a standard-ish look.

To be honest it'll be what I can pic up for the right price.

I would love the bronze set, but it'll depend on how much they go for.

well you could always spray them yourself if you cant get the colour you want, especially if you got the silver set, it'd be easy enough to spray ;)

Not sure TBH mate, I've set my ebay sniper so its just a waiting game now.

I have seen these wheels go for as little as £300, but these are mint with brand new tyres which 'should' go straight on and fill the arches nicely.

i'm pretty sure they are 7.5 or 8inch's wide, but not 100%.. its cold and dark outside now to go and look, but will look tomorrow..

Not sure off offset, as at the time when i had the s13, i was still learning about offsets etc.... so not entirely sure... fitted my s13 tho!! haha..

No rush mate :) The next 5 mins will do :rolleyes:

They look like multi fitment wheels, so should fit. Let me know the widths and offsets when you get chance.
