New wheels fitted

They're too big and need some spacers at the back to sort the offset imo. Mazda wheels are very low quality going off all the scrap ones a mate who works at a Mazda gets. 200sx's look best on r32 gtr wheels which also have the benefit of being very light. Most of the other skyline/350z wheels also look good on one.
Yes mate
As for all the comments about the wheels looking like Camaro/Mustang etc the wheels do indeed look very similar to the new Camaro wheels, which is no bad thing in my books! Here's an example:

Cheers for the comments though, seems like it's a love it or hate it look
I picked them up for £150 with decent tread left on the tyres so the fact they aren't in great condition is no biggy, I do intend to refurb them at some stage hence I'm keeping the old ones in the garage, plus I do think they look really smart too, just fancied a change!PS. I'm being hunted down by the SXOC offset police as I type this on the edge of my motel bed
25mm spacers all round. I toyed with 30mm on the rear but after a wee bit of lowering they will rub plus I'm not planning on getting the arches rolled.
As for the quality, sure they aren't the best. The laquer peels and they corrode like crazy but it's something different from the standard Rota GTR's (Which look gorgeous!). Not to mention the price difference.
Ouch at the last bit
They are from an RX8

i think looked better before:/
Don't know why you'd go for those when there are so many tried and tested wheels which look awesome on s14s.
When you lower it the offset is going to look ever weaker, suppose it's nothing some spacers couldn't sort though.
Spoiler should deffo be removed too

Looks better, should have gone for the 350Z wheels though and they are RX8 wheels

For £150 they're fine, especially with decent tyres and they'll look a lot better ones spaced out a bit.
Yes they are RX8 wheels.
Not too sure about 350Z wheels, the rays ones are pretty nice on a 200 but the standard ones look pants. Anyway due to budget constaints I wouldn't have been able to afford them being around £400 for a set if your lucky and at that price point I would be looking something much tastier
No doubt I'll change them in a few months time (got my eye on a set of Enkei RPF1's ).And someone said it looks gangster? Not really the look I was aiming for, but cheers anyhoo
