old school jdm rims need opinion

[ol_skl_jp]

im looking at some rims, they have abit of surface rust *said in post* but dont know for sure. I just want to know if i can get these puppies looking like new with my trusty tube of autosol or will it need to be professionally done. Dont know if there are any scratches and how deep they would be, im really taking a gamble as they are coming from overseas.

4x114.3 14x6.5J with 2.25 inch lip, offset 10 (Front) 14x7J with 2.50 inch lip, offset 6 (Rear)

i also think the widths are too small, was looking at more 7 for the front and 7.5 or 8 for the rear.

They look nice.

 

I don't think it costs that much to polish them up, Andrew Morris Mags in Tassie does wheels for $50 each and with brand new results.

not wide enough man... if your gonna spend the money you may aswell

get what you want not something your unsure about...

i think they look hawt. About the only thing is the balloon tyres you are going to need to keep the right rolling diameter. With the right offset they will fill the guards nicely.

There a bargain aswell (well i think so anyway), been on the 86 forums trying to find some ssr's or work mesh's

For a pair of mesh's the asking price is around $800, these are $480 from memory for a set.

 

There coming from Canada and the guy quoted me 100$ per wheel, just trying to find a cheaper way of bringing these down, if anyone can help or knows of a good cheap courier (if they exist) please let me know.

Ben what i really want is a set of work meisters to much $$$ and dont know if they will look alright without the flares, front bar and rear lip...

i think mayhem has them on his car theyre pretty sweet i wanted the same style

 

rota make a design almost the same but you would need spacers as the lowest offset in that type is +20 or something

 

if the rims are cheap enough and your guaranteed to get your money back if you sold them again if you didn't like then i guess its alrite.. your call though..

hmmm...14"!?

 

I reckon the original hub caps would look better if you're gonna go with 14" rims. I've always thought it would look pretty cool to get some steelies made up that are as wide as possible ie 8 or 8.5" at the rear with some dish that could take the original hubcaps with nice wide tyres all tucked under a lowered guard.

 

Something different.

Dont forget your rear guards have been rolled, thats why your currents wheels don't fill it out enough..

Ive got a set of 12 slotters that were on the car, they were what the guards were rollled to fit.. fills it out nicely..

[Toecutter]

Why don't you just get the Rota RB's or RB-R soon to be released. Around $900 ish delievered to your door in 16 and 17" and available in the fat ZG configuration also ie 8.5x17 or 9x17 fo rthe front and 9.5x17 for the back for less than $1000!?

I have a bunch of old-school JDM wheels for Datsuns etc coming in late next month. I'll put them in the classifieds section when they arrive. Here are a couple of pairs for example. I have a set of Volk mesh just like you're looking at in 14x6.5 +8 front and 14x7 +13 rear for $450 landed. The  Gold Enkeis are 14x7 +10 offset, $480 set landed. The Hoshinos are 14x6.5 +11 and 14x7.5 -1 for $650. There are lots more, mostly 15s.

interested, will have to what others you have when you bring them down. I'll keep an eye out in the classifieds. Thanks BenZed

Ben, can you get other JDM wheels like SSR and Watanabe? I'm not in a position to buy (unless its an offer I can't refuse) right now, but it would be good to know someone who can obtain this stuff.
