Opinion On Rims

[SKYRYAN]

Ok car is black, wondering what people's thoughts are on this..

I was looking to chuck on some R34 GTR rims on my R33. What do you guys think and has anyone had an dramas doing this before? I'm looking at getting some in the silver colour which are in great condition but I was originally after the bronze/green colour. Reckon I should stick with the silver or re-colour to the bronzey green colour? EDIT: They are the right colour I just didn't see them properly (camera flash made em look silverish )

I attached a pic of the rims I might be getting.. and a pic of the current rims in their "clean" state which get real dirty and are flaking away etc.

they fit no problem! and respraying them isn't an issue as well, i think its about $50-$60 a rim to respray them

but for the price you can get some nice rims

[viet_boi]

GTR34 Rims on a R33 Look HOT, even on a R32, GTR Stock rims look nice all up anyways..should fit perfectly

[phenline]

the gtr rims are nice but over priced in my opinion as michael said for the price there are alot of other rims you can get. Also dont like how they would be sayin GTR on the center caps for each rim yet would be on a gtst... like stickin GTR badges on your gtst

That's true... I like rims like the BEE-R B5's but maybe 6 spoke or something. I also want something larger and thinner spokes coz I wanna put in some sexc slotted rotors that will stand out well with the right rims.

Great rims, will look mad on your black car. However I'd imagine that the offset would be out a bit, especially more so on the fronts as GTST's run staggered fitments unlike the 34GTR rims...?

[IMPORTD]

gts-t's dont run staggered fitments, however its common for aftermarket rims.

like others have said, R34 GTR rims are alright, but overpriced for what they are.

go buy a set of volk/work rims (or even a certain set of forged sparco rims. ) that will fit perfectly, and look better.

[thrtytwo]

havnt read the rest of thread so dont flame me if im repeating, but for what you pay for 34 GTR rims i think youd be better off, and better LOOKING with some nice aftermarket ones

[big col]

Like many others I'd suggest aftermarket rims, because people will think you are trying to pose as a gtr... and nobody likes posers! BTW it's a well known fact that fake gtr badges on a gts-t makes baby jesus cry (not that you're doing that... right? ).

[Kaido_RR]

hmm,

just to let you know there is a jap rim company that makes GTR copy rims, look like gtr rims but the center caps dont have GTR on them, i cant remember the name but if i remember right can get a set for brand new 1.5k without tyres

[_8OO5TED_]

genuine r34 gtr wheels are still like $3K with decent tyres, you could get a very hot set of Works 18s etc for that price too.

dont dream of slamming your car with r34 gtr wheels, as they will rub on the front no doubt!

thats what negative camber is for

[SKYRYAN]

Where do I get good aftermarket rims from? It's gonna be $2300 for the 34GTR rims with no rubber... I dun like the GTR bit in the center as much as u guys dont

Although my car does already have a GTR wing and factory GTR diff

What are these rims they look hot...

http://www.jdmimports.com.au/ use to have a good range in australia for rims.

[C-Red]

I've just got a shipment of SSRs in: http://www.c-red.com.au/newparts/ssr/current.shtml

There are a set of GT-7s that would be nice on your 33.

[SKYRYAN]

Does anyone have any R34 GTR rims I can come and try on one side of my car to see what it's going to look like before I make my decision whether to go those or aftermarket?

[IMPORTD]

just use photo shop... would save alot of time and messing around!

[ztuned]

japan....

shipping is $300 by sea (takes 4 to 8 weeks) EMS is around double that $600ish takes 4-7days. shipping pricers are without tyres.

with a budget of 2 to 2.5k inc shipping you will be able to pick up some nice rims

for example

LM-GT4 19inch suit gtr landed to ur door for about 2.5k-3k

brand new WorkEmotionCRKai (18inch) 2.5k landed (or less)

Volk Gt-C 2.5k-3k landed - gtr spec

buddy club p1 2-2.5k landed (or less)

BBS LM 2-2.5k (or less)

or bargain price SAR3 for 1.5 to 2k (more towards 1.5k or less)

-i should have a few set of rims laying around in the nxt few months, as im constantly changing my mind lol

just some examples of what you can get if you got the cash pricers are ruff est. too tied to work out what they would really cost so i just over est lol

cheers michael
