Hello Everybody...

Can someone please give me some words of advice...???

I have 18" x 7.5 Enkei Wun-Guns on my 300zx and recently screwed one up. Enough so to be detoured from all rim shops for repair =( . Well that is just the beginning... being discontinued, and after hours and maybe days of web searching i've come up empty handed. No one sells these anywhere!!!!!!! not used... new.. on ebay, on classifieds... etc. So I logged in to this forum in hope of finding some help. Maybe a competent rim repair shop, any advice on particular classifieds, websites, or maybe a similar rim look a like. If nothing... can someone atleast recommend me a rim(2) for the front to pair up with these? and maybe use the same tires? Christmas is kicking my ass so I would only need 2 for now. Pls guys.... anybody??

Thank you sooo much for your help!

Check twinturbo.net, there is usually an abundance of rims for sale floating around the classifieds.

im guessing you dont have the stockers?

i wouldnt put any different wheels on the car even if they looked similar.

my searching reveiled this place. call and see if they have them...or if they can get you one or atleast have a lead. sometimes calling is the best. i might also try contacting Enkei USA or something if that nature and see if they can locate one for you through a official dealer.

tx guys for your replys!

nope no stock rims..

gmpper site is a great site... I saw they had some 17's

i'm crossing my fingers they have my dimensions... read the post late, so they were closed when i called but will call again early in the morning.

tt.net was also helpful but wun-guns are so rare nowadays it'll be like winning the lotto to find them there.

I found these on ebay what do you guys think...? Also i'm not sure if they will fit my Z.. ??

those enkeis are nice. ask the guy what the bolt pattern and offset is...for some reason he didnt even state what car they came off of.

edtotalfitness · #8 12-13-2005, 07:04 PM

what do you think?

The wheel is 7.5 in wide the offset is +45 the bolt pattern is 5 on 100 or 5 on 4.5 these came off of a 04 sebring.

do they fit... ?

k3smostwanted, don't know your name buddy hence your nick... my name is Enzo, like the car, I have about 8hrs before auction ends on ebay for those rims so I really got to know whether they fit or not. Pls disregard my ignorance in this matter as my rims have been with me for years and i've never bothered to know the specs on them or the car for that matter.

a defenite no-no for me but I will learn from this experience...

sorry for calling you out to help, tx again

k3smostwanted · #10 12-14-2005, 07:12 PM

well Japanese imports have a 5x114.3 bolt pattern. the offset doesnt seem right either.

sorry dude but i dont think those will fit. i hope i got back to you in time.

looks like my baby won't be hitting the road any time soon... **sigh

is that a picture of your wheel in your avatar?

do you have a bigger picture? if you do post it. what did you hit?

it doesnt seem that bad and seems like a good wheel shop could take care of it for you. it maye cost some money but if they do it right then it should be worth it, seeming a how you really like that style of wheel.

i would keep checking around wheel shops. even if you have to ship it to one. i know when i wrecked all 4 of my wheels on a 14" tall curb at 45mph, there was a shop that i found online that said they could repair them but it would have been cheaper to just buy new ones. and beings i needed all 4 replaced i just bought new ones.

but in your particular case, i would seek out an a shop to re-shape the wheel. i suspect it will cost around $200 just as a round about estimate.

edtotalfitness · #13 12-16-2005, 11:00 AM

yea that's the wheel, I hit a curb... u-turn, light rain, foot on throttle... weeeee THUMP!

<--this is how I cope. As far as shops... i've tried 2 local big corp & 2 ghetto shops with no luck. And sent a few pics to 3 reputable rim shops online... and nada! this is crazy. I think i'd make millions if I founded the first "discontinued rim store"

Besides this update I found these on ebay... well worth the money but want to be completely sure they fit... do all 350z rims fit z32???

here's a better link... BTW I don't know how to post pics... the only way was to resize pixels and insert as avatar... suggestions? i'll take pics of my baby and put 'em on here too when I know how...

k3smostwanted · #15 12-16-2005, 07:44 PM

those nismo's should fit if they are off a 350Z. and the guy said they came off of Nissan 300ZX. those wheels would be nice on a 300zx. i looked all over for them but no luck...

and http://www.imageshack.us for all of your hosting needs. cope and paste!
