ok every body i need to know should i buy these? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/AFS-7...38115814QQrdZ1

i need to know by tomorow as i get my income tax check what do yall think ?

p.s. do yall think thats a good price ? or should i go to a junk yard ? lol

 

UMMM...i dont know what that would look like on a 280...cant picture it, dont know if i want to, but whatever floats your boat thats what i say...as for the price, i think its a fair price, another thing i always say is, if its too cheap, its probably too good to be true...or the value isnt worth it

 

Those rims seem to be a good deal but... no offense those might look pretty funny on your car. It's almost like putting Ford badges on your car. Just my opinion.

 

Looks like the offset & spacing is different than the 280zx's.... You'd prolly need spacers to make them sit correctly.

 

actually... not such a great deal.

 

ive done my home work and these rims are 4.114.3 lug 4.5 lug with and offset of 20mm its only 5mm over set off stock 15mm offset these rims will work with no problem ( as far as the badges go i haev a complete set of nissan maxima wheelz i got free on my 1990 300zx i took of the wheelz because i didnt like them on my 300zx but ill use the center caps !! so dont worry they will have nissan center caps !!! ummm has any one else done there home work for wheelz on 280zx? im looking into andother option on useing spacers and puting on honda rims.. but..... im only looking to send 450 dollars on wheelz alone....

 

WAIT.... are you trying to be sarcastic about the rims...if so, i didnt catch it until just now...wow...

 

no im not being sarcastic at all its just u said they have the pony caps ill agree with u ( i wouldnt drive my nissan car down the road with a ( FORD ) emblem on any part of my car but since this is and after market rim made for the 4 lug mustang it doenst make it an OEM FORD PART ? so i feel wayyy better knwoing that these wheelz will blot up just right !! i was thinking about getting the cheaper ones on beay ( NASTY YELLOW ) and just re finishing them,.... but yea i do have ( nissan ) center caps of a 2005 i do belive it was and ALTIMA ? or MAXIMA ? 18" rims..

 

Will they fit with a +20 offset? I thought the stock offset was 0 or +10, one of those. Anyway, my Longchamp XR-4 rims up front are a +18 and they rubbed when I installed them. I had to use 3 mm spacers to gain clearance. Maybe they'll fit, but I figured I'd throw a warning just in case.

 

not to be a dick, but remember the pictures you posted of your car? Yeah, rims should be the last of your concerns. Take that car to the body shop and spend that $ there. Shiny *** rims on a beat up car = GHETTOE

 

I think it is +10-o offset so these rims will not wok I believe..

 

yeah, didnt you just spend all that time polishing up your stock rims? Why go through all that just to buy new ones? Upgrade your tires or something. If I spent as much time polishing my wheels as you said you did, front and back, I dont think I could seperate from them that quick Just a thought. I'd take Lost Vegaz' advice and spend your money elsewhere.

 

ummm..... those are wheels, not rims. the rim is just the outer part that the tire seats on. anyways, i dont know why, but for some reason i get a cheapy vibe from that auction, like they might not be as good as you may think. you have to be careful with ebay. and i dont really care for the look of those wheels to tell the truth. i say pass on these and find something else, but thats just my opinion. and i fully agree with Lost Vegas. paint and body shop before the wheel shop.

 

Those won't even fit. They're 4x4 1/4 not 4x4 1/2.

 

to jmw1 your right i did spend countless hours !!! yes hours even days polishing up my turbo z rims witch i am proud to say i got pulled over by a police officer today and i really got a complament on how shinny and distractive they were to him the pofficer told me they were soo shinny in the sun light that he felt that my wheelz blinded him he laughed and told me one day he wanted to race me in his cruiser.... weird... very werid... i was stunned and asked him ... ummm a sooo im not gettting a ticket... ? he said no but he said he wanted to see the other wheelz done on the other side ( i was only able to get the left side done takes me about 5 to 7 hours to get the wheelz just the right super shine... :-) ok ill keep the turbo wheelz for now !1 :-) by the way i was told by a zdriver person on ebay that the wheelz do fit and its a direct fit...

 

Was he the seller of those rims?

 

hahaha.. Prolly

 

So when is your apointment at the body shop??

 

Those wheels are 17x8 inch. +12mm seems acceptable for offset.
The thing that would make them not fit is the lug spacing. It does say 4.25 spacing and the Z uses 4.5 inch spacing.

But, I once bought some chrome wheels (aftermarket) off of an early 80's Stang and those were 4.5 spacing and fit my Z fine. So... I'm wondering if the description in the eBay ad is wrong. If you trust the ad, then those wheels will not bolt on.

 

Was this directed at me?? if it was I went already, long very stressful story..

 

Veyenyl is right.. they wont fit... or Zs gor a 4x4 1/2 bolt pattern theyre not gonna bolt up.. i agree with everyone else on here... get the rest of your car in order first before you start looking at getting some nice wheels....

 

Oh no SC, not directed at, but I am sorry you had a stressful time at the body shop.

 

haha.. okay

 

Dear: BLEACH i understand that the 280zx uses 4.114 or 4.5 am i right ? and not 4.25 witch are honda size wheelz right ? sorry i must of clicked on the wrong link but yes i have personally seen the older stlye mustang rims that i have pointed out on a 1982 280zx non turbo i stoped the guy and asked him how do thouse rims fit and he said all he really needed was longer threads to bolt them on. bleach what other type of words of advice do u have to share with me ? please help me out the best u can thanks , ken

 

Drive with your nice polished 15" turbo wheels... do some bodywork.
Dont bother with a brake caliper upgrade. Buy stainless braided brake lines all around, new brake pads, and then bleed the brakes. good enough.
