Red face Rays Nismo Wheels on my 2004. PICS!

Scored a set of these for $800 without tires. Put on Nitto 555 275/35/19 and Federal 595 245/40/18 front.

Also 20MM spacers rear and 15MM front. Had to roll the fenders myself with a Snap-On mallet and a heatgun. Pretty scary but it turned out perfect.

Im not totally sure if I like the look of it yet, I just may not be used to it yet.

I like it! Those wheels go good with black. Consider bigger meat in the rear

With the spacers I dont think I could squeeze any more tire back there. Maybe going down to a 15mm rear I could get a 285/295. Not sure if I would have to drop a sidewall size though. Maybe 295/30/19?

These Nitto 555 tires SUCK! Theres like no traction at all in 1st and 2nd gear. I had Nankang tires on before and they hooked better. Also they make more noise then a Freightliner truck.

Drop is on Eibach Sportlines. Probably not going to go any lower, I believe its a 1.25 already and I have a hard time driving around town.

Yea the guy actually only wanted $650 for the rims but wasnt sure if he wanted to sell them. I offered him $800 and he changed his mine. Then I got a smoking deal on all the tires, all 4 mounted brand new for $600.

Spacers werent included, I put them on myself. Gonna have some OEM Brembo's put on hopefully this week too!!

Nice job, you can't go wrong with those wheels.

If you want to make the pics smaller just resize them directly in Photobucket

I found these on Tamparacing.com Forums. Theres another guy selling a set on there too but hes in Jacksonville and he wanted $900 if I can remember.

There all 240SX guys that are selling them, I dont think they know the value of these wheels and how rare they are.
