I am in the market for some new rims for the Stagea and was wondering you all have sourced yours from?

Is it better or cheaper to import yourself from Japan (or elsewhere) if buying Jap brand ones, source locally made ones using BA Falcon fitments, auctions or wherever else?

Was looking at either Enkei BXM2 or RPF1 or 5Zigen Sports Engine SC300 or Pro Racer GN+ but have no idea where to source them from. Looking at 18" rims at this stage.

Last set of rims I ever bought was 17 years ago for an imported Mazda 626 coupe so have no clue how things work these days.

Cheers, Al

5ZIGEN FN01R-C's are the bomb

I just got R34 GTT wheels, too hard to choose some wheels I found.

Nice wheels you suggested Alex

Still the question though, where do you actually buy these things?

I like the mesh style or 6-spoke like TE-37s (without the price tag)

As for budget can go to around $2,000 for rims only although up to $2,500 if pushed but would prefer not to.

Are local wheels suitable for the Stagea?

Try the Business Classifieds here, JDM Concept and JDMimports usually sell new and used wheels here to forum members, and seem to be pretty knowledgable about the Stagea's size and offset details...

Most R32 and R33 GT-R wheel offsets should suit it fine, so it's just a matter of finding the style you want and fitting it in your budget...

Hi Alex

there were a few different R34 GTT wheels - for example my factory standard AVS ones on my R34 WILL NOT go on my S2 RS4S stagea (even though they both came with 17inch wheels) - the R34 ones are 8 inch rims and have a different offset - they run into the stagea suspension (I have tried putting them on, which is how I found out).... The ones on the Rs4s are 7.5 inch rims...

So anyone else, be careful..

Ian

Depends on what you want and how much you want to spend, I found a nice set of Koya's when I had to look for a set, but personally I love the look of 34 GTR rims on a stagea, but that is just me :laugh:

no its not just you...r34 gtr rims looks sex on the stagea

Was at Bob Jane T-Marts today (having a look around) and they had RJR wheels, one of which was the ones in their latest catalogue, the RJR Graphic. These look pretty good for a standard mesh style wheel.

Does anyone know much about these wheels, are they okay (I know they are cheaper than the Jap brands and may not be as good) but they do seem okay for the price.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thinking of the 18x8's but with better tyres than the package has.

They also confirmed that fitment is the same as the BA Falcon

Cheers, Al

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
