Who wants them?

[edit] $850 for the set with tyres

They've got some gutter scrapes, but they are straight if you're pedantic, you could pull the tyres off and respray them...

The RE55s are 225/50/16s have done 1 sandown day, and approx 5,000 road kays. Probably 60% (or a bit more) left. They are the SR compound.

Pick up melb unless buyer arranges pick up and shipping.

Reason for sale - brakes don't fit under them :no: I actually like stock rims on 32GTRs!

Pics as below - padon the dirtyness... the car is at the paint shop and covered in dust!

PM or post here

looking for that measurement ....

hey mate the wheels are at the shop, but the tyre calcs give the rolling diameter as 630mm

if you want to I can get the diam actually measured, but it will be a rough estimate and probably bang-on or around that figure.

cheers

Just wanted to know if these are the same set you mention in post 11 of this thread?

If they are from your initial calculations there should only be ~30% left???

If you are sure about the treadwear remaining I'm keen to make a decent offer.

yep they're the same ones.

what i can do is post a pic of brand new ones on my R34 wheels showing the original thread depth and you can make a judge of how much meat is left.

i honestly can't say exactly how much is left (they're at the panel shop) - i would say at worst maybe 50%?

there's not all that much tread depth on a brand spanker...

edit -pic of new tyre for comparison

Bump for new pics :)

These are pics i took yesterday.

I am confident that there is 50% left.

if you consider that a new set of RE55 tyres is $1100, this is still a bargain with the wheels!

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
