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.

      I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

      Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...

      But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.

      That could easily make a horrible noise. +1 to the benefits of: a) Disclosing all relevant information when asking questions such as these, b) Actually going out and having a look at your own car, seeing as you're the one there, and we're not!
