Chrome and Skylines don't mix...

But if you HAVE to, then go the race-style chrome.

Even better, get a polished wheel - shine without the added weight that chroming adds.

i have 20 x 8.5" wheels on my R33 GTS25t

front and rear guards have been rolled, tyres are 225/30/zr20

guards sit just on the rim, front and rear with only minimal rubbing at the front on hard lock.

Basically, 20s are so big, that it's almost impossible to keep the rolling diametre the same (on a skyline anyways).

19s are still really massive, if you really must go for big wheels.

Run it in a tyre calculator, but i have never seen any profile less than 30.

so your telling me my stupid 17 inch volk racing wheels r better

First of all work out what you want to achieve, looks (like I said chrome on sports are is bad, good for 4WD like in America) or power. If you have a massive FMIC and upped boost and 20 inch chromies... wtf are you trying to achieve? Its like a sprinter having a cigarette before a run...

If you want a nice modded car with nice wheels then get some smaller 18 wheels that are light weight... Im not asking you to get the super light type but something that doesnt weigh a tone... youll be amazed how slower sports cars go with 20 inch rims, esp chrome.

Make up your mind with the following pics:

Clearly chromes are suited for the 4WD!

Hell yea, gimme your volks :thumbsup:

Chrome is bad, but shadow chrome etc, the other forms that look fitting are nice...

There's a guy up the road from me with chromies on his monaro.. The entire rim is chrome lol, looks like a massive silver dinner plate.. it's ugly.

Don't put chrome near your car... unless its shadowcrome etc etc

And yea, 20's 19's even 18's are going to compromise your car's drivability and handling if not properly set up with the appropriate suspension...

... Dn't get chrome :

Massive chrome on skylines dont mix in my opinion, dont get me started on those vaults ones ahaha. Not only does huge chrome rims adds more weight to the car it also kills the comfort factor and tyres will burn a deep hole in your wallet. I rekon 17 18s light weight Jap rims are the way to go, suits the car more.

But hey if 20inch chormies float your boat Mario then go for it, its your car man in the end your customizing it to your liking not for others.

I am Getting gianelle deep chrome dish jet black 10 spoke 20s i seen an r33 with the black car black wheels with chrome dish looks sexy...how often will i hav to change tires ?

that all depends on alignment, and how stupid you are with the car.

not often if you dont do burnouts and drift. if you do... you better have deep pockets :(

At the end of the day its your car and you should modify it to your tastes not others.. if your intending to do SHOW then by all means go 20", but if its for a street car go 18".

and tyre prices between 19" and 20" isn't much different either, so if you can afford the initial cost may as well go 20". You will need 30 series on the front and if you like 35 on rear.

Cheers

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
