Item: Volk Racing - F Zero Winning 18s

Specs: 18x9" +35 18x10" +35 114.3 Suit GTR

Price: $1000 ono no tyres

Location: Gold Coast - Pick Up most definitely preferred

Condition: Good - couple of gutter marks and the fronts have a bit of 'inner' wear from scraping strut on full lock ;)

Reason for selling: Don't fit my GTSt neatly without mods and they're not my ideal rims so I can't be bothered making them fit

Contact: Dane 0404837187 or PM or in the thread if it's a question that others may also be wondering :(

As stated, this won't fit a GTST with stock gaurds etc. The fronts don't actually stick out past the gaurds, but the inside can scrape the strut when on full lock.

Also the rears stick out the tiiiiiniest bit on my GTST which is almost negligible, but unless your gaurds are rolled, you'll get nice little stringy bits coming of your tyres when making a 'g' or two around turns - unless you dial up some serious camber i suppose.

Oh and one of the rears had a little buckle in it (thanks must go to the previous owner for failing to mention that to me when i was asking about their condition... :) ) But it is currently getting fixed by depulu wheels and I'll even give you the receipt for that repair.

Here's the pic from the original listing from where I bought them, but I will get some more pics tonight of each rim (well the 3 that I have in my posession currently at least)

Pics (left to right): 1) pic from original listing...not sure which wheel that is? 2) rear left 3) front right 4)front left

Update:

Got the 4th wheel back and it is perfect!!!

except for the little mark that i put on it taking it out of the boot when i got home :D:laugh: which you can see in the photo. also there is some overspray on the rim itself that you can see (i'm a bit annoyed cos i liked the anodised blue even though you can't see it with tyres on them..

so here it (they) is ready to go:

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
