Wheels on the Nissan Silvia S12: what actually works
The S12 Silvia wheel scene is rare-vintage-JDM. The angular pop-up body wears small period wheels — classic mesh, Watanabe — flush under a drop, or tough wheels for grassroots drift. Predating the five-lug era, it runs a four-lug pattern that keeps period wheels available, and because the S12 is rarer than the S13, builds skew period-correct. Rendering lets owners preview a period or drift set against the angular body first.
