hi! my boyfriend drives a 92 240sx and for christmas i would like to get him some wheels.
i dont know much but i hear him talking to the guys all the time and i know he wants negative offset and he likes the old school look but i know he'd be happy with anything that looks great.

LOL, your boyfriend is both lucky and smart!!! To be honest, there are a TON of wheels out there to choose from. Try to get a little more information out of him, like sizes, offset, etc... Find out if he has overfenders, etc... Personal preference but I like Watanabes (see attached). Also, is his car 4 lug or 5 lug?

its 4 lug. and i know he has 15s on there now and i dont think he's willing to go bigger. and he likes a chrome lip with a gunmetal finish and he wants a negative offset or 0. im going to sound really stupid but what are overfenders? is it something i can look for myself without asking him because he really has NO clue he's getting wheels and i dont want to give anything away.

no over fenders needed.
get sportmax 002s (15x8, 0 offset old school style)
konig rewinds (15x7, 0 offset. old school style)
several nice larger wheels would be the mb motoring weapon and competition. as well as the hot wheels 17x9, 0 offset whatevers.

in my personal opinion, the sportmax 002s are great wheels. get them, they are like $400 for a SET, you could get tires too.
edit: MAKE SURE you order the 15x8 ZERO OFFSET. very important. haha.

thanks so much everyone. i checked out those sportmax 002 and i think i remember him checking those out once on my computer ((possibly in hopes that i'll check my history and buy them for him--lol)) so i'll probably go with those!!! :-) what is all this talk about spacers though? and when i order what do i need to make sure im not screwing something up? 0 offset. 4 lug. gunmetal. and are they light? cus i know he wanted them light? and there's lots of 15 but what does the number that comes after the X mean? 15 by...what? i know i sound really dumb...but i know purses and shoes...no cars and wheels. ;-)
