    Default $50 Challenge! come one come all!

    everyone on IA is a Nissan pricing expert, so step up and prove it.

    Simple challenge, $50 to the winner.

    All you have to do is link a for sale ad of an s13 240sx that looks as good as mine with at least 400hp that is priced less than $8000.

    You do this, i pay you $50.

    Rules-

    Car must be painted completely (like mine)
    Car must not have any body damage what so ever (like mine)
    Car must have at least 400 hp (like mine)
    Car must be running perfectly (like mine)
    Car must have a clean title (like mine)
    Bonus if car has the rarest conversion known to Nissan humanity (like mine)


    Everyone is welcome to participate in this contest, but i must warn you..... this is Austin's contest to lose, he's the proclaimed Nissan pricing expert.

    Good luck!!!

    Post a picture of your 240 and a link to it's for sale ad!

    In case you forgot how my car looks, here you go.

    Replica wheels are almost direct copies of the same wheels you would drool over. Quit acting like Kim Kardashian when it comes to wheels.

    These are the wedsport wheels my wheels are copies of. They cost approx $3000 more than my wheels.



    I dont have them..... because i have common sense. I've gone 160mph in my car on these rep wheels, they ride smooth, they have no better chance of bending or cracking than Volk wheels do. Most of you guys understanding of wheels is very limited. The forging process for SOME rays wheels is why they cost what they cost. They make wheels for lemans cars and professional race cars where having a forged wheel is actually important. About 75% of wheels made by rays, volk, gram are cast like any other wheel.

    The only reason XXRs are as cheap as they are is because they dont cater to a variety of needs. They use 1 center bore and generally drill 2-3 multi lug patterns. There's little to no quality difference in terms of casting strength from one wheel to the next, some wheel companies may have better designs....... but that hardly matters when everything can be copied.

    As ive said in the past..... half the cars on this forum dont make enough power to break a wagon wheel, yet you're all obsessed with having formula 1 quality wheels on your car.

    If the car's engine and interior is on par with the interior, it is worth 8K. I've never understood the hate movement on "fake" wheels, I personally like XXR's and is a great bang for your buck. Although I just ordered my second set so

    I see nothing wrong with them either... Well, other than when people put "real" stickers on their "fake" wheels, in order to pass them off as something they are not (not the case here).


    Be proud of what'cha got. Quit faking the front bitches.

    I see no issue in saving money on wheels and buying a knock off brand, as long as you aren't trying to claim them as the "Real Deal" etc I see no reason to save some $$$

    Id say the same just kinda scary to see the knockoff rims that have broke/cracked etc.. Then lead to damage or accidents. I googled the images once and Rota knockoffs seem to be the worst

    For every broken Rota picture you find, I can show you two broken Volks. Wheels break, it generally has nothing to do with brand.

    That being said, I would encourage everyone to support the original designer rather than buying a copy.

    I guess "off brand" would have been a better choice but they're pretty similar to mb battles but not exact. I guess for the price I would expect something of better quality. Rest of the car looks good though.

    I can't find replica Advans anywhere. If I could find replicas of what I have, I wouldn't have paid what I did for mine.

    lol @ people knocking cheaper wheels.

    thats a nice car and a nice bumper, but the bumper on that car sells for less than 1/2 the one on my car if you could even find the one on my car. I search constantly and have been for years to find 1 piece of replacement plastic for my bumper that i want so bad i'm willing to buy another complete bumper to get it.
    Right now there's a K Aero bumper on Ebay for $1100

    Sorry, I forgot to hit the ~insert sarcasm~ button when I posted. K's bumpers aren't "supa-rare".

    And I know this.

    It doesnt mean shit what another ad says or has for a price, vehicle price is driven by what the market (or some dumbass) will pay.
