Wheels Anyone?

[AlexCim]

old wheels!

New wheels, Ok well, they are not that fab. They are just stock R34 GTT wheels without the centre caps. For now the caps are on, but i like it without the caps. Ill find something to cover the hub as i think it looks tough. $550 for the four, in damn good condition.

Wrapped in 225/45/17 Hankook Ventus K104's (my first new set of tyres) $165 each fitted and balanced

Now, only to lower the front 1 or 2 circlip grooves, castor/camber bushes/rear dust covers and a wheel alignment and i am...DONE with suspension

When/If in future i decide to get new wheels, Advan Racing RG's in gold, but for now the standard wheels will do. I think silver or gold suits a white car well!

Will let everyone know about improvements over the next few days, maybe we should have a stagea specific tyre thread as we do carry around a few 100 extra kg's then skylines?

Looks great I think, amazing what a little extra diameter can do to the looks of a car!

Yet still very stealth.

Cheers

34 GTT wheels look pretty good on a stagea. I run a set now as well,got them cheaply from a mate with an S14 who was going to use them for track work. gotta be happy with $450 incl. tyres...

Another stagea with R34 GTT wheels, needs to be lowered a bit though

Actually, there where a few different wheels on the R34.. On my R34 GTX I've got the (factory standard) AVS 5 spoke ones (8 inch rims), not the standard nissan 6 spoke ones that Alex now has.. I'll put a pic up soon (I'm in the middle of shifting the web hosting of my sites...)

I can't remember who bought Jay95R33's stagea but he had put R34 GTT wheels on it before it left canberra too, they do look good on

[AMS]

Love it Alex, Looks Great

[AlexCim]

Probably cant tell, but i lowered the front of the car 2 circlip grooves so 1.6cm.

3 days in, front are already dusty! argh

Wow AC, great value for sure, for that price..... geez! Ive been 'looking' for R34 GTT wheels, but couldnt find anything for anywhere near under $1000.

So, Stagea owners, if you hear of some R34 wheels for sale for a 'decent' price, please let me know (if you dont want them that is).

Thanks in advance, Brendan

[beastien]

Lookin good Alexcim

[Techo]

I agree, looks tougher without centre caps

[Tangles]

AC do they fit ok?

ie no offset problems etc?

might have found me a set!!! happy happy joy joy

If you come across a set of affordable 350z 18" Track wheels, they look shit hot on a stagea too by the way

[AlexCim]

Absolutly no problems with the wheels mate.

I reckon they are perfect. Handling well, not too hard a ride, cheaper tyres, can get replacements if you write them off, great wheels overall!

[Tangles]

$600 for 4 x R34 GTT rims with rubber

I paid $650 to have them fully bubble wrapped etc.

Also (work is) paying $95 via TNT to have them delivered from NSW to Adelaide

from Stan (Satanic).... thanks man! Heaps good to deal with!!

siick

Cheers, yeah Im real glad I saw the add from Satanic maybe 5mins afterhe posted them for sale. LOL

Pretty sure I will have the rubber taken off, 1 rim repaired from gutter rash, and then head to our business's powdercoaters for a gunmetal grey powdercoat finish, I think.

Then save for new tyres, so it wont happen too quickly (my wife just got robbed today) due to cash constraints, but thats neither here nor there I guess.
