I actually like the price/weight of 15" rims. Plus rubber for them is damn cheap when you are abusing the **** out of it.

I have a question.... Can we fit 14" rims on the 240? I will start a post like I am supposed to as well.

to StanBo

StanBo,,,,,,,,price of tires is not a concern.....but you can buy light weight 17's with rubbers for about 800 dollars......anyway 240sx hatchbacks have this terrible dissability of the stupid Wheel Wells.....they look like the car should be 4-wheel drive.....and when you have a fiberglass body kit.....cant afford to lower it too much without risking cracking fiberglass......so you need bigger wheels and little drop to eliminate that huge wheel well.....thats the biggest downfall to my car.......

Dude hit me up with the site that sells them for that price. I have been stuck seeing 1200 for 17" with rubber.

The only packages I see that would be in that price range are 15" rims. I know the ROTAs go for around 800.

actually i beg to differ..
depending on the power u are putting down to the ground
if it a pure track..
then i would suggest getting 17's if your car can handle it..
although u might gain some weight
the added traction will help..
but try and have a small sidewall
40 series

also..
for autox which is totally different try running 14 or 15's

but yes 16's would do fine in track racing..
it all depends on how much money u have..
17 inch race tires get expensive..
