Hey guys,

It sure is hard to find a place that has a decent range of 17"s to choose from, that clear the Turbo factory calipers!

Have tried ozzytyres, Bob jane, Wheel revolutions and they don't have anything that i want. Keith for wheels mentioned they have a few, but I haven't checked them out yet.

Does anyone recommend a place when they were wheel shopping that has a good range? I may even consider buying 2nd hand rims, or just putting some proper bolt on spacers on my current ones...

Try Grahams SWT on Moss ST, they are pretty much across the rd from wheels revolution...what type of wheels are u chasing? Just a note, IF you are chasing wheels with big dish ur not gonna find many that will fit in OZ shops...best to chase up some jap wheels with custom offset, or look in the classifieds section and buy wheels u know have come off a skyline.

We have just recently been looking for rims and have had a pretty hard time just getting people to get back to us re prices. Apparently no one wants our money. But then we tried Tyre Zone at Cleveland and they have been brilliant. It's a family business and they do have a pretty good range. We have the car booked in for Friday. Their website is: http://www.tyrezone.net.au

ROH make a wheel named Drift R. Available in 17's and they have a bit of dish also.

Go to the ROH Website, then click Product Catalogue, then click Passenger (Drift R wheels can be found in there).

Here's a pic of what they look like on a S1 R33

The ROH website also has a section where you can enter your car details, select the rim size you are wanting and a list of suitable rims will be produced for you >_<

Try Grahams SWT on Moss ST,

hi, i had same issues aswell. ive also tried them all and keith for wheels, and the above quoted place. and they all seems to not be able to get the wheels i wanted either. or they were extremely expensive.

found that speedy do some wheels, with correct offsets, and brake clearences for skylines, good prices,

check out what they got here. (they also supply alot of places. i actually got kmart to order mine, and got a awsome deal on tyres aswell.

check out speedy's website here. http://www.speedywheels.com.au/

cheers, n goodluck :)

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
