Nismo Rims??? - Drifting forum

TOYCOOLROLLA · 31-03-2007, 05:28

Someone was offering me this and he said that its an old Nismo rim. I don't know if there really was one of that look. I checked inside and out of the rims and there are no special markings to indicate that those are made by Nismo except for th center cap that says Nismo. What do you think? TIA.

Some Nismo wheels are made by RAYS, look for any markings along those lines.
Never seen Nismo's like that before, could well be pulling your plonker dude.

These look like the Nismo 270R wheel. I have never seen them as they are rare in the UK, but they certainly do look like they are.

cefiro_drifta · 31-03-2007, 17:25

wat size are they ... i think the 270R's were 15 or 16's so it they bigger than that then they not the 270R's

could be anythign as most center caps are the same size... i haev enkei, TSW and BK ones that fit in to all my wheels if i wanted them

Lynxy · 31-03-2007, 18:45

they look like some cheap wheels to me..

i could be wrong however

TOYCOOLROLLA · 01-04-2007, 05:29

The only markings I saw are those Japanese wheel markings that is underneath. Size of the rims is 17x7. Its a little bit thin that what I actually need but the offset is just right. Thanks.

Dragon Force · 01-04-2007, 09:29

They look exactly te same as an old set of "Dare" rims if you ask me!!!

Cheapo!

TaxiDori · 01-04-2007, 09:55

What's offset? If it's agood offset then that'll help too.

If they is japanese markings to indicate it's jap made wheel and they nismo center caps and they look exactly in the styleof the 270r then I would say they probably are them.

I'd say the chance of them being a cheap wheel with jap markings and nismo center caps that happened to fit and match with an ok offset is much more unlikely scenario.

TOYCOOLROLLA · 01-04-2007, 10:18

I just checked google on the 270r and it seems that the wheels came stock for the car "simonman" posted above.

dare rims with ebay centre caps in my eyes

Rhino · 01-04-2007, 19:37

I think you may be right the centre caps look like the new nismo design rather than the good old one! plus i'm not to sure about the finish..

Stand corrected!

TOYCOOLROLLA · 02-04-2007, 07:51

Dare rims are not available where I come from and we mostly gets rims from Japan. I was looking at the DARE rims and they look very similar but those came in 4 holes and 6 spokes as what I got are 5 holes and 5 spokes.

Rads_s13 · 02-04-2007, 13:32

put a close up pic of the centre badge up

but from the little bit I can see on one of the rims, they look like the old skool nismo logo.

No it's the old one.

jap-si · 02-04-2007, 13:39

looks like this to me.

Mad Cas · 02-04-2007, 14:10

Thats the old skool nismo logo, the one that looks like a caveman drew it with a stick. Cool as fook. The wheels look like they will look nice polished up, shame the width is a bit weak. Tig an alloy hoop in and make them a 9J

TOYCOOLROLLA · 02-04-2007, 16:08

here is the pic of it.

BLAZE · 02-04-2007, 17:05

they look like the 270rs to me

TOYCOOLROLLA · 03-04-2007, 17:09

That's cool to know. Does it mean that the 270R are rare and so are these rims?

jap-si · 03-04-2007, 17:31
