Project B12 SR20DET: Need your input

hybrid DET · Oct 2nd, 2002, 01:36 AM

Hey fellow B12er's,

I'm in the market for a new set of rims for Project B12. Most likely 16" x 6.5" or 7". I'm open to any colors silver, gunmetal, bronze, black, whatever. I've been looking for awhile now and havent been able to settle on anything.

Being familiar B12 styling, I was hoping you all could share some sugestions with me. Anyone have anything in mind?

i think the konig imagine black opals would look sweeeeeeeet on the b12. hey quick ? not on the subject, have u had any problems with ur kit since u have painted it. a lot of people were trying to tell me that the bumpers on the b12 wouldnt hold paint

Your car is red right??? If it is you could easily put on white or gunmetal wheels. Actually they would probably look the best.

My faves in no particular order:

Motegi MR12

AT Italia Riva

Borbet Type-B

Kosei K1 These things are very strong and very light. Racers favourite.

OZ F1 Cup Expensive but you get what you pay for.

SSR Competition. Comperable to the Koseis

Any oldschool cross-hatch BBS wheels if you can find them.

Here are the Konig Imagines:

I like the Traffiks too, maybe an alternative to the SSRs but I would rather have the SSRs:

I serioulsy looked at getting the SSR competition but then backed out at the last second for some reason...

Both of these are cool too. Does anyone know if the opal ones still have a non-opal polshed lip? I cant tell from the picture.

These are awesome but damn that yellow lettering!!! If it were only red or Silver.

Does anyone have photo shop of any of these rims on a b12???

Thanks for the help

The bumpers can be painted as long as a flex agent is added to the paint. However, after a few years hairline stress cracks will inevitably form in the paint from the flimsy rubber bumper.

I've had to repaint mine every couple of years and at this time I am really in need of new bumpers and paint.

What do you guys think?

a) What the fuck are you thinking, i've lost total respect for you!
b) Those rims are tight!
c) Stick to building engines! You have no style!

I was planning on getting them for my se-r, but selling it now (for a 510).

I personally would answer (b) due to the simple fact that to most people the b12 sentra is just a reliable grocery go-getter that has no fashionable points whatsoever! But they are so wrong.....We b12er's can actually sport those squared-ricey wings because our cars are boxy as well. And the wheels will look wicked on a red or black B12.

What happened Mario, got a taste of the 510 bug

Are you gonna put a KA24 in your 510? Why are you getting rid of your B12? And be sure and fill me in on this new bumper you're referring to.

I thought the same but they remind my girl of the tri star anteras from back in the day and she thinks they are ugly. She drives a honda, I dont know why I'm even listening to her.
