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!

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
