Hi guys,

Just purchased these wheels from Japan for my R33 GTR. I'm hoping they'll look good with my car and perform well with handling (cornering at high speeds). Anyone have any experience with these. Also do you think 18x10 is a good size for the GTR?

Tyres on them are: Dunlop formula W1 - 275/35R18

Pics of my car can be seen here: http://allblitz.com.au/cars/004_nskylinegtr95black.html

Let me know what you guys think of the choice of wheels.

Thanks,

Husnu (Hus)

Here is what they look like in action!

Mine just do not have the blue part as yours do.

10" rims just look phat :(

You're a legend. I've been typing keywords like 'Volks, Fzero, Challenge, GTR' etc... in google images, trying to find an R33 GTR with these wheels.

Thank's a lot, i love 'em !!!!!!

I've also got a set of HKS coilovers, once the wheels are on, i'll try and get the right height :D

Same as my wheels but mine dont have the Blue inner like yours??

How much did you pay for them as I have no idea what they are worth!

I got mine for 1K when I bought my car, 17x8.5 and 17x9.5.

However that said you have to take on board that the factory R33 GTR wheels (Magnesium) are also extremely light weight. Therefore you are not going to, if at all, reduce the vehicle's unsprung weight.

The stock forged non-Magnesium alloys are not very light, my 18x9+22 Enkei RP01s with 245/40R18 tyres

weigh the same as R33 wheels with 215/45R17 tyres and I have several 17x9 Enkei RP01, Enkei Racing S and BBS

LM that are lighter, I don't know about my other wheels because I haven't weighed them.

The real advantage of the stock wheels is that they can eat a kerb hard and take it like a champ! Good ol Nissan!

As for the wheels the poster has bought, I do not like the styling at all, but the width and offset specs are good,

I have ugly wheels that I love too so it is all good :(

The Dunlop W1s were good tyres... in 1998, I don't know when they were discontinued but they are probably

ancient by now so I would burn them up as quick as you can, if you get some heat through them they might

come good again though. But no question, for performance, the setup is good.

Thank's for the feed back guys. I've stumbled across another set of wheels which I have fallen in love with and am just about to purchase.

They are the Volks CE28N. They are practically in brand new condition. Dimensions are: 18-9.5J Offset +15. Tires are YOKOHAMA DNA S-drive 235-40-18. I'll have to put wider tyres on them as soon as they get here. I think these will be the full time wheels on the car, they look stunning.

Actually a few months ago wheels or motor did a tyre test and came to the conclusion that wider tyres do not mean more on limit grip.

Thats more to do with chassis and suspension. Rather than tyre width.

      Well - they have arrived.  And they are easy on the eye to put it mildly... These only have three bolts - but for a start there is a key that fits with vacuum like precision..  And as you can see by my ruler, the interface is large..   I listened to a podcast on HP Academy about Dan (KiwiCNC) and I'm more than comfortable he knows what he is doing. R35 Bearing assembly should arrive later today so can mock that up for a look. Can't wait to get these on and get some brake pressure logging too. IMG_3860.MP4

      I would be very confident that they are the same parts (the 2 different SKUs). It seems very clear that you can drop the cam in the 2-way opening, or in the other opening. If you arrange it in the other opening in the same way that you see any other 1-way diff, ie, with the flat of the cam up against the 1° side of the opening, then it would work as a 1-way. It can only spread the ramps when driving forwards - cannot spread the ramps on overrun. It would then appear obvious that if you put the cam into the opening "backwards", that you would get the angled flats of the cam working onto the "points" of the 1° side of the opening, which would give you ramp spread in both loading directions. I do wonder if the forward direction of the 1.5-way config is equivalent to the forward direction of the 2-way, seeing as the cams are flipped and the angled surfaces on those would need to be the same on each side - AND - clearly when installed in either the 2-way or 1-1ay configuration they are not intended to work exactly the same (the ramp angles on the 2-way are 10° different between forward and backward, and the ramp doesn't exist in the 1-way config). 'twere me, I think I would rather actually have a set of rings that offered the 2-way with two different sets of ramp angles, say the 55/45 of the existing design and maybe a 45/37.5 combo for a less aggressive effect), AND another set of rings with a dedicated 1.5-way opening and a dedicated 1-way opening. The 1.5-way opening would actually have the steeper angle on the overdrive side that causes it to be less pushy than the forward drive angle, like you see in many other diffs. But really - if this Nismo thing is thought out properly and all those surfaces work on each other the way that they need to, who am I to argue?
