xt7s look good on the right car.. as evidenced.

please note:

Californian 240SX

slammed on URAS/Origin kit

rim touching fender

none of the knobjockeys in australia will have coconuts to emulate this on a day to day basis. Keep in perspective that this rim has to look good while sitting at least 5 inches away from any semblance of a fender and about 3 inches inside the wheel well.

they wouldnt be my first choice of rims but they are ok depends on price?

ummm cheaper then what he advertised them for...

and sif 5inchs high. my car is low...kinda. thats my car in my avatar. sits a little lower now.

This what you are talking about Shan.

:blush:

ashneel, you need to go about 2" lower to pull off an XT7. edge to edge spoke plus rim skimming fender = baller. edge to edge spoke + entire profile of tyre visible then fender = meh. I'm sure it'll get the muzza's moist tho.

For reference:

At stock height...

See the difference? Same set of rims.

lol yeah ok, the first and last pics aren't the same diameter/width/offset. :blush:

look into JIC J-Force 07. They look similar and usually go for cheaper...

chrome on white might not be a good idea, so maybe you're right with bronze.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
