you know something NISSAN SUCKS...why couldn't they give the 91 240 a 5x114.3 lug pattern...you wanna know why...they suck:boink:

you see these rims
http://www.autosportz.com/images/rims/5zigen/5zigen_black_racing_pro-n1_bronze_intro.jpg

i love these rims...very much since i don't have the money to buy Advans RGs at $402 each....just look at this wheel package.

(2) 17x8
(2) 17x9
(2) 225/45/17
(2) 245/45/17
-------------------
$1215

and you wannna know the worst part....they only come in 5x114.3,4x100, and 5x100:swear: so..now that my bitching is some what over...i have 2 options....1. Drive my 240 into the front of the nearest nissan dealer :cya: 2. or i can do a lug conversion ( which i'm to lazy to do):frown:

hmmm i wonder if i can get the company to make a set of rims with a 4x114.3 pattern?:dunno: oh well i'm done now

First,save up your chump change to get these for the front

Save up some more to get NA 300ZX hubs for the back.

then you could get 5 lug rotors from a S14

and thats it!!!(I think:bloated: )

how much money is "chump change" to you?..also i heard that you could get everything you needed for the front off of a 95+ 240 is this not true?

if i'm not mistaken, those are black racing pro-n1's. they are badass, i was gonna get those but i found out that they are no longer in production, so the numbers are pretty thin....and also, if you hurt one, there aren't many readily available to replace it.

That sucks. Anyway, what kind of rims are those?

DoriftoSX

they must not be that good to be out of production and low numbers and still have a low price

$450 plus shipping a pair from www.jspec.com

Btw this is the easy(and expensive) way or you could use parts from the S14 but it requires a bit more work

i think they're pretty quality wheels, just not too many people knew about them.....black racing is a brand sold through 5zigen, but 5zigen didnt put them on the website.

so what do these just "pop"(for lack of a better word) on to the front with little work....shouldn't there be something about this on 240sx.org?

*edit* yep 5Zigen-Black racing Pro-N1's come in Silver, black or bronze and the 17x8 are like $212 and the 17x 9 are like $220 or $230 at the 2 sites i looked at..but you better not get them..they just would look as good on your car as on mine.....like someone once said

I dont know about 240sx.org but....Yeah.These just replace your 4 lug hubs.

kk i'm gonna look for some info on the rear hubs now see if i can find how much work is involved back there

ok 5 mins on google and i thiknI found out what i was looking for..

It turns out that converting the car to a 5-lug bolt pattern was pretty easy. The rear hubs from a non-turbo Z32 300ZX or S14 240SX SE (5-lug) bolt straight onto the S13 rear axle

so..after i save up another $200 and order my Jic's then i will get started on doing the lug conversion...:biggrin: *weee* i love it when things go my way *skips down sidewalk happily*
