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

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
