Anyone knows who makes 16" rims that don't suck? Like 16x8 +10 or 16x9 +20. In 4 lug and not 800$ each, lol.

CCW, Work and SSR.

some Foxbodys came with 16x8 +0 Enkei 92 Mesh

The only way to rock 16 and not suck completely is Demon Cambers in 16x8 -10

I shall now find pics of said Demon Cambers (they were in the first drifting mag on a "Full Counter Club" car

Cool, I'd like to see some badass 16s, I wanna go 17, but I'm way to poor. I found some SA3R in 16x8 but the offset sucks (+35) and they are all scratched and fucked up, they are 400$cdn.

I might have to go 5lug after all, but then I could get TE37s in 16x8.5 +12 lol

im gonna get some 15" konig heliums with avon Tech R's and autox my car next year.

seriously though if you race, try some wheels that weigh around 10 or less lbs. your car will feel so much faster and more nimble.

nah i dont think that was quite what he meant slidestar...i think he is saying 15-16 inch rims with decent width to reduce weight...those were like 17x? so going to weigh alittle more...if you going for the lightness...no better than the TE37's

The Phase2 car has 16x8.5 -10 Demon Cambers. However, it still manages to suck because of all the other rice trash on the car.

Steps to rockin Demon Cambers

1) Slammed beyond belief
2) 3+d of Camber
3) Front 20mms + pulled rear
4) Mild/OEM Aero (ie Kouki or Silvia Aero)

CE28Ns are lighter and less expensive than TE37s

Personally I think worrying enough about unsprung weight enough to use 16s is retarded. Especialy since alot of people saying they do it to keep weight down are using cast POS wheels.

5zigen fn01rc

I said rims that don't suck. Even tho some FNs look nice, the 16" ones are all 7" wide with a +33 or +42 offset and they only have a 4x100 bolt pattern.


I want these.

16x7 +14 and 16x8 +19

of course RW always find the better pics lol, i like how that one doesnt have the spoiler like the first one. Does that rear fender have a dent in it? or is just the angle? What are the specs on those rims?

On S13s its really easy to dent the rear fender when you pull if you dont use a heat gun on the inner fender. Then even if you keep the dent out when your pulling, it will always be really prone to denting (like leaning on it and such).

go with some Rays Gram Light 57c's 16x8's...i got 16x7.5 on my 240sx...with tanabe GF210 springs on it...looks clean...about 1"gap between tire and wheelwell...looks nice...i got 215/55/16 tires all around..not that expensive either...i got mine off of ebay for $800... about $230 a piece brand new i believe...very nice rims and they only weigh about 12.5lbs each

What kind of offset? If you say you don't know what offset is, please don't talk to me. If you do know the offste, please tell me more.

Rays sizing chart seems to believe that there is no 16x7.5 Gramlight 57C... If you measured it on a caliper, which I doubt since nice wheels like volks have a size sticker on them, then you have the 16x7 +30.


Even then the 16x8 is only offered in +30 or +40 which will clear... but isnt anything worth paying $800 for

SPLParts.com has 17x9 +20 FNO1RCs for about 800$ in 4 Lug. You won't find those anywhere else since they're exclusive to SPL.

that actually seems like a really good deal. What would you have to do to make those clear on an S13?

And RW240, do you know if Work GWings in 16x7 +14 will clear Z32 brakes and coilovers?

nissan180
11-12-2005, 08:46 PM
I know they are made by Rays thats why i said Rays Gram Lights

But they are still not volks, even though volks are made by rays as well...alot of wheel companies are made by Rays

Yeah, but he said alot of high quality wheels, like Volk, he never sai dyour were volk.

Yiggity Yikes. +42???

I had 7.5 +42 and the tire clearanced itself on the strut... I gave those shytes away... literally

16x7 +14 will be a mile away from coilovers... I don't know about Z brakes though, but probably.

Yeah, but he said alot of high quality wheels, like Volk, he never sai dyour were volk.

back to your original question...Gram lights in 16 arent usually that expensive...around 230ish a wheel...also some 5zigen FN01R's....never seen those in 16" so wouldnt know what they would look like...but im getting some 17's cuz im getting a bodykit soon and 16 is too small to have with a bodykit...it would look weird...so im getting some 17" TE37's...expensive i know...but yeah there are always some Advans (3 spoke) wheels...16 and 17 on ebaymotors.com i got my grams off ebay...thats the cheapest place u'll find some of those rims...just gotta know that the dealer is trustful...or some watanabe 16" rims...those dont look bad
