Check that out and tell me what you think would look nice on a yellow r32

Was thinking some 19X8.5 Cross-5 Chrome, you reckon they'd look sweet, or too plain? Its hard to find wheels that look good on yellow

Also if i put 19X8.5's on it, with say 30 series tyres, would i be able to lower it a bit, or you think i'd have rubbing issues?

Reason i say speedy, is because i get awesome discounts from them, and only them

Thanks guys

if I had to choose one from that list, I'd go the Lite-7, but they only come in Honda/ghey sizes. The only decent looking one that's in an 8.5" that'll sit nice on a skyline is the Cheetah, Octane and the Spyder Gold. I'd personally go the Octane in a 18x8.5 as 19's and 20's look wierd on an R32 proportion wise.

Cross 5 looks silly. Too much chrome, not enough style... its a chunky rim that's trying to look sporty.

The cheetah's look like BBS copies... and makes em look like they're a blast from the past :(

The octane has a inner lip with bolts, makes the rim look like a more expensive 3 piece, and looks nice in black. But any black centred rim on a yellow car looks hot.

Hey, so i went down to beaurepaires and had a look, the octane is actually a gloss finish instead of a matt finish, which makes them look quite good. The others just sort of looked boring, or werent as good as the pics. Only problem was i was too short sighted to tell if they looked good, and my pictures came out blurry (the lebo and mauri guys i was with said they looked cool, but..)

So, ill get them, and if they look gay, i'll be reselling some 19X9/8.5 octanes, for about 1200

Thanks guys :whistling:

you know, its funny I have a yellow 32 with speedies on it, but I don't have a pic :no:

I've got the holotype R. Mostly because they are 200 a corner in 17x8 :)

the other guys we race also have the holotype r but they painted them white...on a red and white car

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
