    The Wheel Thread

    Much love for the Wheel Show ( http://www.thezenthusiast.com/wheelshow.html ) but I know there are a bunch of sexy wheels on this forum, currently not in that link, and scattered throughout the abyss of Z31P. Pics & Descriptions only.

    (Only installed wheels homeskillets)


    Here's my current wackness.
    BBS RS 16 x 8/9 +40mm
    .5"/1" Spacers


    (Where the F did I put my center caps?)

    Heres mine

    18x8 tsw thruxtons with a 225/40/z18 general exclaim tire I dont remember the offset









    most of these were before the car was lowered with the tokico springs and struts

    I defiantly wish i stagered it like 9.5 or something in the back also so i wouldnt need wheel spacers. night now they sit in there kind of far. It looks fine but they defiantly are anywhere near flush with fender
