Aftermarket Rim Sizes

^You could always paint your steelies satin black and add trim rings. Cheap and effective for a rally rim look, which I've always liked:

 

Chrome trim (wheel) rings can be found at large auto retailers, wheel and tire shops, online retailers and junkyards usually have a bunch for sale. Just shop around, b/c the junkyards sometimes charge only a few bucks less than brand new, so beware.

 

I used to have a set of 13" on my old Datsun 510. Saw a bunch of trim rings hanging on the fence at the junkyard today, I shoulda asked how much.

 

my car came with 13" rims and I am going up to 14" rims. A little less wimpy but won't change the ride at all. Larger rims are going to give you a harder ride I would go no larger then 15"

 

i think the 15s from a 6th gen look perfect. However, I needed spacers to clear the damn springs in the rear. :x

 

I used 5mm (1/8") spacers to clear the rear struts; fronts were fine.
I love the Gen6 rims too :mrgreen:

 

The thin ones are cheap. I paid $12 for two universal 5mm spacers. Cost goes up as they get thicker.

 

I had my father in law make me some spacers out of 1/8" aluminum. Best part.... FREE :mrgreen:

Rick... that's basically what I want mine to look like.

 

I may be able to have him make some to sell you guys in need. What would be a fair price for a pair or set of 4?

 

Greg, yeah the Gen6 rims are perfect for our cars, can't beat the 5-spokers. My 89GTS may end up looking like your car after I do bodywork and rattle-can satin black, lol :mrgreen:

Kevin, do a search and price out universal spacers. If they're thin 5mm-8mm spacers, they're only about $12 a pair. The thicker, hub-centric spacers get a lot pricier though.

 

Thats one step better than mine then. I cheaped out and got semi-gloss since it was cheaper than satin. I really need to redo the paint but may get it sprayed this winter.
