danr Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Hiya all, I've just taken these mags off my car and i was told they were genuine nismo LMGT4's (17x9) but regardless of this the wheels didn't fit my GTR (spacers, apparently they're a 30 offset, suited for gsts and silvias), i've had them replaced and now im just trying to identify them. Does anyone have LMGT4s, that can tell me what to look for? cant see any nismo badging, they've got the nismo decal ofcourse, but nothing to suggest the brand by any casting information on the mags. thanks in advance.

Ronin 09 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 i would think that somewhere in the casting there is the brand "RAYS" Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/138389-nismo-lmgt4/#findComment-2577459 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muz Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Hiya all,I've just taken these mags off my car and i was told they were genuine nismo LMGT4's (17x9) but regardless of this the wheels didn't fit my GTR (spacers, apparently they're a 30 offset, suited for gsts and silvias), i've had them replaced and now im just trying to identify them. Does anyone have LMGT4s, that can tell me what to look for? cant see any nismo badging, they've got the nismo decal ofcourse, but nothing to suggest the brand by any casting information on the mags. thanks in advance. Mate I have LMGT4's on my GTT. (F 17 x8.5 x 35, R 17 x 9.5 x 38) They do not have any Nismo stamp on them other than the face decal. They should have a Rays sticker on the inside telling you size and offset. It is the spoke pattern that makes them Nismo LMGT4's nothing else. They should be able to be lifted with the little finger (wheel only) as they are forged monobloc construction hence the lightness. Rays make them for Nismo. From my Nismo catalogue they should weigh about 7.7 kg bare so 11 with rubber is about right. Also details on size and offset can be had from the Nismo site. Scroll down until you get to section 4. It is in Japanese but sizes are in English. Fairly easy to interpret. http://www.nismo.co.jp/products/productgui.../partslist.html http://www.nismo.co.jp/products/productgui.../partslist.html http://www.nismo.co.jp/products/productgui.../partslist.html But to give you some idea, the R34 GTR requires an offset of 12 if the wheel is a 17 x 9.5. The wheels you have would suit an R33 GTST and maybe some others.

danr Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 Here ya go mate, just match them up with these awsome, thanks mate, unfortunately they're not genuine they havent got the "made in japan" and the decal seems a bit smaller on these, and they were also missing the rays brand, which got me suspicious in the first place. The mags i just got put on are drifteks and they seem to have the same badging, seems these ones are just drifteks + nismo sticker. Im planning on selling them, just wanted to confirm authenticity. cheers guys!

siksII Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 hmm bout 11ish kg with tyres From my Nismo catalogue they should weigh about 7.7 kg bare so 11 with rubber is about right. Cheers and hope that helps Muz hey guys, they will be nowhere near 11 with tyres. tyres weigh a lot more than 4-5 kgs more like double that, i weighed a lm-gt4 17 by 7.5 with tyre and it was 16.5kg. your being 9inch wide should be a couple of kg more than that. attached is a pic of bronze gt4 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/138389-nismo-lmgt4/#findComment-2577897 Share on other sites More sharing options...

siksII Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 for comparison ill add that standard 16 by 6.5inch r33 rims with tyre are approx 21kg depending on the type of tyre, so the gt4s which are one inch wider and larger are 4.5-5kg less each than even standard 16s! damn light.

scathing Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Does anyone have LMGT4s, that can tell me what to look for? cant see any nismo badging, As per the pic, they should have "FORGED MONOBLOCK" on raised writing between two of the spokes.
