16" Nismo JTC wheels and 205/45 Yoko AVS ES100 Tires
I got the new wheel bug. So I'm a throwin these up here to see if there's any serious interest.
16" Nismo JTC wheels
-made by Ray's Engineering (makers of Volks and other Nismo wheels)
-Forged construction (super lightweight and durable)
-35mm offset
-2 bolt patterns: 4X100 and 5X100
-fits B13s and B14s
-3 wheels are perfect, one has a little curb rash.
I found these on eBay from a guys who couldn't speak English well, so I had to kinda gamble that the decal he scanned in that had the correct B13 specs applied to all four wheels.
I would venture to say you could not find these for sale more than once a year online in the US.
And for you B14'ers, its one step closer to JDM Lucino VZ-R perfection!
Okay, now that I've hyped it up ludicrously, I'll name a price:
$1100+shipping from Nashville, TN.
Now, I know the SE-R crowd is, shall we say, frugal. So I realize these may not sell here.
But eh, what the hell.

I may have taken a gamble with the importer's English, but I research the existence of these wheels thoroughly online before I bought them.
You have to trust me on this, but the wheels came in authentic Nismo boxes with the size and specs printed on the box (not affixed with a label) as well as the model and address to Ray's Engineering's manufacturing facility. I did not keep the gargantuan boxes, because I did not think anyone would doubt the validity.
I am a 30-year-old designer who also specializes in package design, so I can spot a bootleg anything a mile away. Furthermore, my mother is Japanese, so we visit there about every two years (although I havent been recently in about 5). I am aquainted quite well with Nismo products and their packaging identities.
I REPEAT, THESE ARE NOT FAKE.
Additionally, here are pictures of the labels on the wheels themselves:
BTW, "Vesta" is another division name for Ray's Engineering products (such as Volk or G-Games).

I need to find the links, but I also have a few Japanese websites that not only list these exact specs for this model, but also have pictures of these wheels on both 180SXs and Primera (both P11 and P10).
And yes, these wheels were available in 4,5X114.5mm before somebody corrects me.
Nice looking wheels, Louis. How lightweight is lightweight?
Aaaaaarrrrrrggggggghhhhh! Must resist purchasing... too many irons in the fire, though. I actually found a set of those last year when I was doing my big wheel/tire search. Didn't want 16" wheels... at the time.
Shoulda, woulda, coulda... bought 15" Enkei RP-F1's instead. With them on my nonlowered car, it looks like I have 4wd. Should have rocked the 16's.
Guys, forget about frugality... you get what you pay for.
Peace,
Mark

Thanks.
This weekend, I'll take one off and measure it with the tire...I think there's a website out there with an AVS ES100 16" tire weight, so you could get an approximate weight then...
Funny thing is, I wanted heavier 16s to offset the lack of traction with the new turbo. But when I saw these, I jumped.
They feel lighter than my old SE-L wheels/Azenis combo (them tires is heavy!). But that's very non-scientific and subjective.
So now I'm going up to 17s. (If I sell these. If I can't, thats a sign I need to keep them!)
personally if i were you, i'd slap some good drag radials on it and forget the 17's!!! those wheels are sick and if i could i'd buy them...but 1100 is way outta my reach for some 16's....and i dont think u'll come across some nicer rims than those for a b13! my $.02, and none the less free bump!
Hey I got the same wheels! I got compliments all the time when I put them on my black Classic, white NX2000 and Platinum gold 200SX. They go well with all cars mentioned above. In fact, in my signature below, I have them on my NX2000 w/ r-compound tires. Mine are 16" and they are about 15 lbs, IIRC. I got mine from Modacar in Northern California which they had to import directly from Japan to put on their show car. They only got one set. I bought mine in 2000 and I remember searching the web and found many Japanese websites showing these rims. Now i can't seem to find them anymore. These are very rare indeed.
Interestingly, mine have the older Nismo decals on them. Other than that, everything else look the same, including the caps and stickers on the inside.
If anyone wants to see picture of them on a white NX2000, I have a high-res picture I could email you.
