hehe great feedback guys,

honestly im not too sure, i like the look of all of them, i do understand the argument though,

if i get rotas this is a possible conversation at carwash:

Colin/brandon/all others/new guy etc : oh adam sweet rims man, u shuld get the volk sticker on them bro would look better

Adam: nah bro theyr not te37s they ROTA GRIDS 18x10 + 15 , from england, theyr not fakes designed pretty well cost me quite a bit as well

Colin/brandon/all others/new guy etc : theyr still te37 replicas bro, you FAIL LOL , look nice though

XD9 conversation

Colin/brandon/all others/new guy etc: nice rims adam, cant say multispokes suit the 33 as well as the 32, but oh well theyr Works, better than ROTA's

Adam: thanks bro. sorry i gotta get back to cleaning the 50 spokes that i have now LOL

i guess the big f**k up would be if i end up spending close to 3.5 grand and then not liking the rims, the xd9s have dish, but they sort of only look right if i u look at them from a certain angle, i would consider real te37s but money is a factor and also the 18x10.5 +15 in te37s dont look as concave as the ROTA GRIDs,

so real dilemma here, other option would be just get the suspension kit, and see how the advans look, XD9's have 6 to 8 weeks delievery time, whereas rota are ready to shop now should arrive very soon, BIG MT, have u seen that thread where some guy on SAU tested the shit out of GRIDs on a R35 GTR on a track, and then got them xrayed and they wil perfect, no cracks or dents,

fml.

Dont worry. We wouldnt. Actually we will only say something if you did put the stickers on.

Cheap Rays. But then again, the thin spokes doesnt really agree to my opinion of rims on 33s.

Some euro love?

ive jst been reading up on rota's, with works ofcourse you dont really need to,

this is what ive found,

its either you love them or hate them, theres no middle ground, some people think theyr cheap rip offs and break easy, others have prooved they dont and theyr more than replicas, ROTA has taken alot of time engineering them, and offering better offsets at good prices, but theyr cast wheel not forged so are abit more susceptible to breaking,

not very popular with GTRs here in australia, but having a look at aht GTR UK forums lots of people are running them without any problems,

lets crank the debate up,

ROTA GTR (LMGT4) vs ROTA GRID (Te37) both in white same size and offset 18x10 +15

yeh il be getting them through the trader on SAU Steanzo-ROTA_OZ or sumthn, hes runs cartel-online.com,

official disturbutor of ROTA rims in AUS,

okk - id call around before you go thru him, option 1 would be able to do you a wheel and tyre package - dave and i dealt with them on monday - excellent customer service

and im pretty sure joshie hits them up too

Rota GTR then if you really want them so badly. I'm sure the whole point of us not likely rota is simply because they're replica, meaning imitations. I'd much rather get second hand ones than get replica myself but that's just me (which is why I got mine second hand). But hey, with the argument of being stronger because its forged, it doesnt bother me because I doubt I'll ever drive in a way or make that much power to destroy the rims. Just for your info, those CR Kai I had before were sold to my friend for 1.5k, so these rims really only cost me 1.7k.

Anyway, I thought you like your rims? Why spend 3k+ on new ones when you dont have any issue with the current ones? I'm sure theres better places to spend that money on.

ok, 1750 vs 1440

up to you

ill stay out

geesh is that option1? and same offset and size?

if so then i cnt repply complain, thats bloody cheap for brand new rims.

oh yeh brandon someones sellin 19x10.5 +11 VOLK GT-C for 3000 LOL, what do you think,

and the rota p45r are 360each and they come in 18*9.5+12

Yea. Option 1's got the cheapest tyres you can ever get in Brisbane. Just make your mind up whether you want Feds or KU (either way they're still the cheapest in Brisbane).

Tris: thats my recommendation for your 180 ages ago. If I've got a drift spec car, the 57d in fluoro orange or yellow would be my pick. Hahaha. Full on attention seeker. And considering they're less than 2000 delivered from streeter, definitely 1 of the cheapest Rays around.

If this is what I think it is, that guy f**ked up and bought the wrong faced GT-C. That model cannot clear your brembos man. If not, GOOD BUY!

Back on the Rotas, get the fattest's please for that kinda price. No 9.5 unless thats the only width they've got.

265s are fine on a 10.5 inch rim. not a big stretch at all.

colin yours are 18x10 + 18 right? biggest offset u cn get in XD9's?

how do the 265s feel? any rubbing at all? and how much lower is the car from standard height?

i dont want the rims sticking too much, my mate got defected for it lol, but i thnk his were stretched quite alot.

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
