Wheel Suggestions...

My friend just bought a '98 240SX and is planning on picking it up this coming Sunday. He's not planning on doing anything right away, but I'm helping him plan ahead and think about things that he might want to get. I think he should get some good wheels, probably something JDM. What are some good JDM brands for wheels for Nissan's? What do you have? I think he should get something that's black/gunmetal with a polished lip...

I was thinking all of those brand names, but I don't know where to go to look at those wheels. Do you know of any sites?

www.google.com and try either advan usa, then advan japan.

Then hit google again and search for a currency converter.

I know most advan rims start at 350 a piece.

I am looking for a pair now but the prices are hurting me.

Thanks everybody. Here's another question... I think my friend should get JDM wheels, but what do you guys think of Rota's...? I know they're knock-off's, but a lot of them look really good. Or what about Racing Hart wheels. Our club/team is sponsored by someone that can get Racing Hart wheels with tires for extremely cheap...

What is a good size for wheels. I know most Honda enthusiasts like to put 15's and 16's for performance sake. Are 240SX's the same? To me, that just seems too small for a 240.

If you are building a show car 17/18 is good.

Track or performance 15/16/17 is also very good.

I like the azenis sport and victoracer. I like to watch out for the price of the rubber when choosing rims.

Id go with 16" rims..doesnt hurt handeling or performance. 17"s maybe..but 18"s Although the pros in D1 drift with 18s on...if ur a begginer and drive it on daily driven roads as well..id go with 16s or 17s.
