so yooo…

i sold my winter tires on an S14 i sold so now i need to rethink my winter tire situation this winter…

i have a set of 205 series winters i can use but i need a 15" wheel that is 5 lug that will clear Z brakes all around… also cannot look totally gay

so in effect, it needs to be a 15 x 7, +0, 5 lug…

i have extended studs and spacers on the car so that will make things easier.

those faggoty sport max 15" wheels… do they come in 5 lug?

what else is out there and readily available?

i have some old drag wheels that are 15 x 7 +0 but only a pair… i dont want to mix and match really.

I can get you some RPF1 look alikes if you want… we get them for ALOT of our customers for winter rims. They’re light and come in a variety of colours… not that expensive either.

Well I just hate how much salt is thrown on Ontario roads, pains me to see 240’s subjected to that - especially a freshly painted, SR powered, coilovered, Z braked, 2 way diffed S14 Kouki - to each his own, I’m sure it’ll be well kept through it all

Undercoating and a wash once a week. If not more. You’ll never know the difference other than the salt build up on your carpet and engine bay gettin dirty if you ain’t got an under cover.

Bing, I’ll go look up stairs later tonight. See what wheels I gots.

You guys are girls, Bing knows whats up.

Winter time is the most fun to drive nicely setup car, half the cops on backroads, corners to slide, snowbanks to smash through, and more jam in the cold air.
