Yeah could be. I had some just like that on a Celica GT-S long ago. I thought they were pretty cool. Apparently so did the thieves who stole them

that S30 is ugly all over....

the front wells are misshaped the rears are the only ones with a minor flare molded i HATE that front kit and the weird *** molded spoiler makes the rear look like a Z31 profile, and those wheels are crap, if you like that sorta solid rivet retro racy look get what i had on my S30




plus they are deep, nice and dished, though, they werent large enough, had alot of tire flex in hard turns..... need 16's or 17's, those were 14's i think

I like them, but then I'm old enough to remember cool rims. Hehe They kind of resemble a Centerline model. They're nice and deep, which is so ridiculously hard to find for 300ZX's, so it seems. All the kids seem to want these days are those huge, crappy, flat style looking wheels with no depth. I'd rather keep my stock rims, if I can't find some with some depth.

i actually like that s30 minus the rear bumper, front valance, and lack of front flares

and i already got the 14in riveted enkeis, guess im going to start a 14in riveted wheel collection... but im all right with that

also they are 215 60 14, so is that a 7 in wide rim?

Tire size does not determine or reveal the wheel width.

That style of 14" wheel is generally 6 or 7 inches but I would guess 6 inch wide by the looks of the lip.

well generally as long as the tire isnt bulging over the wheel rim you can have an idea by the section width what size wheel it is...

and my enkeis are 6.5 in on 205 tire (probly should be on a 195 tire) and these are 215 so i just guess 7 in

that has to be the worst grammatically functioning sentence i have read in a while. also, i still own 2 Z's and my dad still has his, and i am alot more knowledgeable about Z's and cars in general than you which is what earns me the privilege of being here. also, i own an eagle talon, not an eclipse. and as far as ricer goes, while it has gained popularity lately some of that attention grabbing a retard/ricer's mind, its also a large community with many intelligent people, it is also the fastest 4cylinder on the planet and fastest AWD car on the planet and fastest 5spd car on the planet, yup, all those records owned by the DSM. so if that is ricer, then i guess i no longer have a reason to even care about cars.
