while we're oogling over them cars... I've got a set of Watanabe RS8's on my Corolla (2 or 3 piece I believe) does anyone know if Watanabe manufactures custom outer rim sections (so that I can increase the width of the rim, while keeping the inner half n centre the same).

Funky,

There is a guy called Oz Wheels in Leppington that will custom spin anything you want for about $160/200 per side. Any width, any diameter. If you want I'll get you his number and address, I have his business card at home somewhere. I can take some pics of his work and post them if you like. As soon as I get my internet connection up again, Telstra f@#ked up the speed change connection yesterday.

He spins rims for Simmonds for sizes they don't do anymore, makes a lot of Porsche Cup wheels.

I had him rework a set of BBS Lorinser wheels for my PNV. Made 2 x outers for rear and 2 x inners for front making 8's all round. That's 4 rims for $800.00

Cheers, D

OK Guys,

The pics below are what I had done by Oz Wheels.

P1080001 is the side view of my new inner rim

P1080002 is the back view of same new inner rim

P1080003 is the side view of my new outer rim

P1080004 is the front view of same new outer rim

In the deal you get the outer rim polished and in my deal of 2 outers & 2 inners I replaced the bolts.

All up mine cost $800.00, it may be a little cheaper if using existing bolts, but as these are going to be my track rims I figured the investment worth while.

Cheers, D

I'll give him a call sometime next week... got money tied up atm so can't act on it immediately. Just for reference, would you happen to have "before" pics of the same rims?

Also does he mill out new halves or does he weld in and extension piece to elongate or cut a band and rejoin to shorten?

Don't follow Funky,

The front face rims were made up because one of the outers was stuffed and he didn't have the profile for BBS Lorinser rims.

The outer with the new inner is original if that's what your referring to and vice versa on the others. The original bolts were six pointed star headed instead of button head caps.

And talk to him about the mods you speak of, as I don't know for sure.

Cheers, D

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
