Ant97GTR Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 HI all, After reading James's updated thread showing off his new rims, I couldn't resist doing the same thing. Some of you know the hassles I went through last year trying to get a set of track rims sent from Japan....for those that don't...lets just say that I first ordered a set in April 2006!!! As it worked out, this turned into a bit of a blessing as I sold my gtst and bought my gtr. After doing a little research, I settled on the size and after deciding on a manufacturer was left with two options...the CE28N's or the new RE30's. When I was given a great deal on the brand new RE30's my choice was made See the results below (note the lack of front lip is due to it getting a 'refresh' ).......

VSPEC-33 Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Awesome rims there mate, damn they're wide! With all that rubber under your car you better make sure you dont break your gearbox, thats alot of grip! Gotta love the dark GT-R's with bronze rims Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/160971-gtrs-rim-job/#findComment-2988657 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferni Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 Nice one dude, good to see you went for 10.5" as well. What power and suspension setup you running that? The car/paint is looking good.

Ant97GTR Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 Thanks for all your comments....its probably a bit sad but I can't walk past my garage without sneaking another look As for breaking the gearbox....with the power I'm making (or lack of) the extra grip shouldn't break it anytime soon, although being a 2nd hand car you can't be too sure of the condition.....I'm more worried about the extra strain on the clutch which is on its way out. Ferni....Its pretty stock atm....running around the 260awkw mark. Suspension wise...it has HKS coilovers and a couple of minor tweaks. My aim for this car will be grip/handling first and power later. Al....I did although that wasn't intentional.....only got back on the 3rd of March and have been flat out sorting jobs and unpacking! Would love to make the meet tues night but prob won't happen...but I will be at the membership renewal on the 24th.
