34328, nissan z wheels on our cars (pics pleeease)
Posted by 510eclipse, Nov-15-02 12:34 AM
ive been rollin on 14" blacks for a while now, aside from the ugly look, the handling is horrible. i was thinking of getting some used 300z 16's for my 96 rs as a cheap alternative to buying rims(also found the hookup for some good used 16" tires). any body have pics, or even a photoshop rigged pic with those rims on our car? *already searched!* tia. :-)

I am 99% sure they fit. I recall ebay ads listing them for nissans and eclipses when I was browsing for wheels. I think I have seen an eclipse with some on.

alright let me break it down real quick. the nice 3rd gen rx7 wheels fit on our cars, the nice 300z wheels fit on our cars, the nice looking late model ford probe wheels work on our cars, mustang wheels (gt, cobra...etc etc) fit on our cars. but nevermind, lucky me this morning when i met up with someone to buy his front and rear strut tower bars for 35 bucks, i also got offered his 97 gst wheels and corbeau targa rs racing seat with braket. does everyone else think 600 for all is a fair deal? the two rear tires and brand new and the fronts are at about 50% tread.

600 seems decent. How old's the seat? They retail for about 320 I think??? But shipping seats isn't really cheap. Huge boxes.(I bought 2 tho) I would say buying a $400 seat (seat,bracket and shipping charges in mind), some new wheels, which are probably going for around 200 or more, you are good. and you are getting strut bars. go for it

thanks for the advice guys, i came up "phat" :-)

the wheels were in nearly perfect condition, two hairline scrapes on one lip of a wheel. and the tires, oh man....the rears were like a week or less old, still had all the rubber nipples pointing out everywhere. and the fronts seem a couple months old (HIS CAR WASNT LOWERED!!!!!! thankfully) and the racing seat.........not one scratch/tare/blemish/stain/mark/smell. he even still had the original plastic to wrap it in. then my friend jerome gave me a four point racing harness for the seat but im not sure if i should bolt that crazy thing in my car, its a little too hardcore. the strut tower bars are nice too. the only thing im getting adjusted too now is all the extra weight of those beautiful 16"'s in comparison to the 14's. but what a worthwhile sacrifice...i have a sports car feel on the road again, and it seems like mitsu spent endless hours developing those wheels to somehow bring out every damn beautiful curve in the body of our cars.

its chirstmas time in hollac queens, mom's cookin chicken and collard greens!!!!! haha well its my christmas dammit.

umm..... HOW BOUT NO.. Mustang wheels do not fit on an eclipse. when i totaled my mustang i had just got a set of chrome cobra R rims in. I had heard the mith about them fitting so i tried them on my eclipse and the fit was sloppy so it didnt work. they are both 5 lug pattern but the mustang bolt on the wheel is a thicker diameter than on an eclipse wheel. To even more prove my case i still have the auction #
