could this be another option? callin on experts here for wheel fitment. thanks

[Malloy]

These will:

Knockoffs FTL. Plus the fitments will be awkward, and you will need a spacer.

Save your pennies for real wheels...the car deserves is. Remember, people see the wheels before the engine bay ;)

[83restomod]

im at the point where i cant see spending another 3k on the car. at least not untill next year. since i sold the 5zigens i need something to roll on but it has to clear the Z32 brakes. thats the delema :duh:

[Malloy]

You can sell a nice set of custom wheels for a mk2. It will take some time, but if the size/offset is perfect and the wheels are SICK I bet you can sell them for a decent price.

buy my 15in enkie's. already polished. ill paint the centers any coolr you want before shipping. lol. they fit great.

as for the wheels you posted. the 17x9.5 +12 would be good for the rear. too bad all the wheels they have are too wide for the front. they need to make that wheel in 8in widths with 0 offset for 17 and 18 and then we could run them.

Rota RB and RB-R. Affordable and available in good offsets.

true but ugly IMO. and i dont think 15" wheels will clear the Z32 brakes.

[83restomod]

let me try this again.....

i think that style wheel on my car would not fit due to the more modern mods i have done.


sorry Billy :duh:

[lacrssgus14]

Bryan, want something cheap and chrome to roll for a year? Mine are still for sale, unfortunately.

Funny, I was looking at these Rota's yesterday.

[turbogoo1]

Actually I like them wheels Brian, the ones you posted. Might work on an L-type.

[dannymk2]

oooo, those cobras would look sick on your car bryan. id buy them for myself in a heartbeat if i had the cash.

[williamb82]

i have a z32 caliper and the 15in rim fit over it with it bolted directly to the strut. now if you have an adaptor to push it further out it wont fit. i can mount the caliper to a strut assembly and put an enkie over it for a pic if you want.

[83restomod]

Actually I like them wheels Brian, the ones you posted. Might work on an L-type.

ive seen them in person on a S13 240sx and i really liked them. i think in all black they would look sick.

im iffy on the stang rims. 1) becasue most ppl would know they were mustang rims and 2) no lip and not black :sadsmilie maybe im too picky

im not using a spacer for the Z32 brakes so your wheels, William would clear. still not a fan of mesh wheels (dont flame me for it)

i was hoping to find something that i could sell to my brother to put on his 240sx in a year when he is ready for new wheels. thats why ive been on zilvia.net looking for wheels that they run. i know our offsets are not the same but its a starting point.

i really wish those rotas would work. :sadsmilie

[rsdeo]

true but ugly IMO. and i dont think 15" wheels will clear the Z32 brakes.

They are also available in 16" and 17" in many widths and offsets. See here. (http://www.rotawheels.com/wheels.asp?wheelid=34)

Could you not use P-45F on the front and P-45R on the rear?

[83restomod]

wow!! didnt even think of that. they dont show the 45F in black but paint could fix that as long as they fit properly.

so what do u think the best option would be with these.

front P45F- 17x7.5 +12
rear P45R- 17x9.5 +12
????????????????????????????????????????????

here are the links for everyone

P45F-http://www.rotawheels.com/wheels.asp?wheelid=30
P45R-http://www.rotawheels.com/wheels.asp?wheelid=31

[Malloy]

Not a bad idea...would give u that trendy 'concave' look in the back with a flat face in the front. (assuming the rear has a fatter lip) The offsets will get you relatively close...nothing a small spacer cant fix. Specify matching center caps...assuming you can fit the cap in the front (which is ESSENTIAL!)

You plan on running this style in all black? (no polished lip?)

[kmfdmk]

I'm not a fan of the flat faced P45F's I like the P-45R's all the way around, but that's me. Personally I say go for it. I am one of those people who would rather buy another MKII than spend 3 grand on rims. Spacers are NOT the devil, I think these could work, I don't remember the spacer needed but just use good spacer adapters, as well as good (ARP) hardware & lock-tite and you shouldn't have any problems.

I've posted about these rims elsewhere in the "Rims that Fit" section as well.

i like the look of the all black even with the red pin stripe it looks cool. not sure how it would look on my car. i could always get the silver with the polished lip and paint the spokes black myself. paint and bodywork supplies are limitless for me.

would the sizes and offsets i listed work? where would i need to run a spacer, and remember by going Z32 in the front i have gained +8 offset.

[Malloy]

Oh, nice. A 5mil space on the front would get it relatively flush.

I have 9.5 +6 rear and there are a few more mm between the tire and the fender opening. I'm not 'hella flush' but I'm not bad. You will be a 1/4" more inboard than me..which u can fix with a 5mm spacer if u wish. If the wheel has no lip, you may want the spacer for added effect. I actually thought about a 5mm spacer in the rear just to see if I would clear. (so others can have better fitment info) If SSR offered a +0 I would have gotten it, but they didnt.

YOu may want to beg tanya to pshop it before you commit...the non concave/concave combo with minimal lip may look weird on a mk2.

[83restomod]

thanks mike. ill send Tanya a message and see whats up. i hope it comes out the way it looks in my brain. :zzzzz:

[BillyM]

...or stick with the +12mm, and go with 275/40's out back, ala ROH wheels.

Those x7.5 +12mm fronts should fit nicely over the MPV rotors, and you can probably get away with 235/45's without looking like you're wedging too much tire on the rim.

I say go for it!

--billyM

[83restomod]

thanks Billy, that was my next question (tire size). Tanya did a photoshop for me and i do think they will look pretty nice on the car. still worried about the flush Vs concave in the rear. but it could look cool. :woot:

[Supra Ev]

Wanna post the photoshop picture... I really wanna see this. Rims look sick. Big upgrade from what ya got now.

its up to Tanya if she wants to post up.

[williamb82]

i asked for a quote from a ebay seller to see how much a set would be for 2 of each of those in +12. i think the offsets would be perfect and not need a spacer. the spokes look the same so i asked for gunmetal. who knows. if all goes well maybe ill grab a set with my tax return, i need a wider rim and tire in the back of my 84. its this or the rb's, if i go rb's ill get the 17x7.5 +12 front and 17x9 -13 rear.

[83restomod]

William, if u dont mind shoot me a pm when the guy gets back to you on the price. maybe we can go in together and get a better deal. who knows? :zzzzz:

[williamb82]

or if he wont do split sets we can buy a set of each style and just trade 2. lol

[83restomod]

this is true. what color u looking at? gunmetal?

do they offer any color with a polished lip? obviously i would want black.

[lacrssgus14]

Bryan, here is a MKIV with the P-45F/P-45R setup.
http://i3.tinypic.com/4qiql2r.jpg
http://i3.tinypic.com/6bedxk7.jpg

it looks like getting the center caps to match could be a problem. It also looks like I might want to join in your deal, seeing the bronze on green look.

[rsdeo]

Which Z32 calipers are you going with? 26mm or 30mm disc application? 26mm will give you more spoke clearance.

If you go with the MPV disc you could possibly squeeze the 26mm caliper over them. If you do use the 26mm caliper there are other discs which might be more suitable.

[williamb82]

from what i can tell the gunmetal has a polished lip.

the caliper i have is a 26mm one. form a 90 n/a. i still need to get the passenger side one. never bothered once i bought the bbk. ill prolly get the other one though as i can put them on my 86 mk2

[83restomod]

i have the 30mm aluminum calipers and plan on buying the MPV 4x4 front discs.

if Rota makes both the F and the R with a polished/machined lip im deff in. then i can get my black w/ polished/machine lip look im after.









-(thanks Greg)-

[83restomod]

i just checked Zilvia.net and there is a GB on Rota wheels (perfect timing) i just sent the guy a pm asking about our split sets and color options. ill keep everyone posted.

[Malloy]

That looks decent on the mk4 cause you can actually get the rim flush to the fender front and rear. With our goofy flares and staggered track, thats impossible without hella rice poke/stretch. Good luck :)

[83restomod]

so your vote is no Mike?



i just got a pm back from ILL GARAGE LLC on zilvia.net and he said i can get both the F and the Rs in black with polished/machine lip. looks like i found some wheels. his price on the GB is also looking very good compared to others

[Superium]

Dooo it, the only thing I dont like about them is the multi lug and lack of lip even for 9.5's and low offset Rota just makes the hub deeper instead. You really cant go wrong for the price especially with the amount of power you have and they are just wheels its not like your stuck with them for life.

[83restomod]

$670 shipped to me is lowest so far. anyone else got a Rota hook up? still cheap as hell for IMO some nice fitting good looking wheels.

[williamb82]

man the more i look at the black mk4's with bronze rims the more im thinking of doing that on my mk2. lol

[83restomod]

your braver then i am. not sure i could do bronze on my mk2 :faint:

[Superium]

Im going bronze/polished lip with my next wheels. Its going to be another month or so before I buy them tho.

[83restomod]

found another pic to get an idea of the staggered look.

[dmlsupra]

I'd be curious to see a pictures of those wheels on a mk2...

[83restomod]

unless someone wants to step up and do a nice photo shop, its just a guess if they will look good or not.

[williamb82]

tanya? where are you?

[83restomod]

tanya? where are you?

edited my above post with another pic.

[williamb82]

cant tell what it looks like cause they are black. they need to be silver or bronze. and the rears dont look concave at all.

those are the old 5zigens, i just posted that pic of my car for the angle so we could use our imagination.

[Greg G]

if the mk2 fronts are just like the mk4's... Im NOT a fan.

[Malloy]

They will be

[white_mk_2]

i just got a pm back from ILL GARAGE LLC on zilvia.net and he said i can get both the F and the Rs in black with polished/machine lip.

What other colors are available in both the F and R? According to the Rota site they don't have any of the same color/lip combos.

[Supra Ev]

I would hope that they both have the concave look... the fronts on the MKIV picture are practically flat across, the rears sit back a bit. If they are both "dished" then they look awesome, that'd just drive me nuts.

[83restomod]

the only way to make the wheels work on the mk2 with out spacers and shit is to do the Fs in the front and Rs in the rear. that was the whole issue with the look of the 2 different wheels. fronts are flat(er) and rears are dished.

color choice is alot more then what the rota site shows. i can get both in black with polished lip according to the ebay rota seller guy. but most most come with a machined/polished lip

[Superium]

Resto if your still interested in getting these, PM me the specs/color and your zip and I will get you a quote.

[BillyM]

...nothing wrong with having F/R style differentiation.

--billyM

[83restomod]

for the price and tire selection i can get its hard to pass them up. i think they will follow the styling of my car better then others. we will see....

Did you just ask about the black with polished lip? Or did that dealer give you a list of colors for both F and R styles? If so it'd be cool if you post up those color options :)
