Need new TEMP wheels, help me decide :) Trade anyone???
 
Hi all,

I just can't stand riding on 18's anymore :) I need to go to 15's or 16's. If I lived in a suburb maybe I would be ok with it but I just can't take all the hard bumps and feeling like I am cracking a wheel every other day :)

So I am thinking of trying to get one of these 3 sets for the time being till I get the $$ for my Work Meisters later this year.

The Nilos:

XXR 513's nice an clean 3.5 lip :)

XXR 002's Same size lip but a tad old school....

Keep in mind this is temporary! This is a cheap but nice little way to have some decent wheels and the pleasure of a bigger tire before I do a real upgrade.


PS: I almost forgot, my car...

I say nilos way too many people have 002s

boxedfish 05-05-2008 04:18 AM

I love the look of my 513's "staggered in silver" but, the nilo's are sweet as hell. I think if I had to do it over I would do the same set up. "513's" I will post pics soon.

INFINI 05-05-2008 04:23 AM

yeah please do. I was not a fan at all of the 513's when I first saw them. but got the price and that crazy lip! I can get used to them :)

I like the Nilos as well. the 002's are cool if I can get them used cheap I will bit though. Like I said these are temporary for at least 5months..

INFINI 05-05-2008 05:29 AM

Here are some photos of these wheels on cars :)

I wanted to use my own photos to avoid any issues :)

Well I am very sure people would be willing to help you out here but pleas post another thread so you can stay on topic and get the info you need.

INFINI 05-05-2008 06:52 PM

DJ_SpaRky 05-05-2008 07:02 PM

IH8ONYU 05-05-2008 07:56 PM

NILOS - F The Rest...

SupaStarxAKid 05-05-2008 09:41 PM

513's in red!

INFINI 05-05-2008 10:02 PM

haha, no...... It's not a color match. However if it were :)

Any other wheel's in the 15/16 inch range with large lip that people think I should be looking at? They will be on for only about 5months or so till I get my $ stuff worked out so I want cheap, but looking good :)

Trade anyone????? Trade + Cash??

INFINI 05-07-2008 08:42 AM

Only other thing I can imagine is fixing the curb rash and getting 40's instead of 35's that I have now if I don;t get new wheels.

ExplorHer 05-07-2008 07:35 PM

I got a nice set of 15x8 501's and 2 195/50/15's witht 3 miles on them that I would like to get rid of, but the shipping and red would kill the deal.

Thread jacker!! Oh No! Sike J/K

Nilos would look the best on the XA IMO.

bB2NER 05-08-2008 06:55 AM

Why not some nice Rota GT3s? They would look sweet on an xA.

INFINI 05-08-2008 07:45 AM

yeah close but not for me. I am looking at rotas now though that you mentioned them.

bB2NER 05-08-2008 07:50 AM

Don't forget the cheaper alternative Nippons. Just like the Rotas but 100 bucks cheaper. 350 shipped right here.

Seems like Sport Max has issues with the clearcoat peeling after a year or so. Not gonna deal with that BS fo sho.

INFINI 05-08-2008 07:53 AM
