nice one harry. looks good from this distance. and certainly accommodates a hell of a lot more tyre.

[PHaT MR30]

Do it Ben! RPF1 is one of my Fav wheels!

[Marlin]

I like, but not forged.... hunting hunting forged.

[evil_weevil]

[Marlin]

I haven't Chris sorry!

[Marlin]

Hot tip! Thanks brother!

[NickR33]

fair bit of custom work in those by the looks of it... that's one of the best 32gts I've seen... looks tits

[Marlin]

Just spoke to Darron @ JJR, he says they're to fit S13.... I wonder how much modding to fit 32 coupe?

[evil_weevil]

you need harry's help to fit them maybe? hehe

[sav man]

That looks nice lol

Thanks Damo..... I think you should tell Benny to jam it for a bit and come spend a month up here.... free board, food, and piss

now that's a plan!

[Russman]

Thoughts lads? The dollar being strong gets these delivered at under $2k in 18 x 10.5. Weighing 8.93kg each.

They really are cheap ey! I've been thinking of them. Can almost buy 2 sets for the cost of TE's!

[jenkies]

nearly there. pitty its getting hot again.

yep i like that idea. ive never been that far north. i should have come up for toolies.

i just have to finish my car first. see you in a few months.

on the guard front "bolt on" flairs wont do the job by its self. most of the drift buys hack away all the guard under the flair or wide body guard. i have a few differnt sets of flairs in the shed waiting to go on. one set is a S13 set and they dont fit all that nice. i actualy got some flairs off an early celica supra. but thers a heap of work to get them rigth to.

if you find someone with the right skils a propper metal flaired guard will be just as good as any bolt on flair and more practical.

Do it Ben! RPF1 is one of my Fav wheels!

i likeis too. its funny as they have been around for a few years but have only just become "fashionable" i think it just takes one persons with the right car and the right size rim to really set a wheel off.

the TE37 has been around for years and then one day they were the best rim you could get. then the work XD9. but i think that the pan speed does wonders advertising the volk CE28Ns. if that car never came out wearing them than i dont think people wuld like them at all. i think the current style is dish but with a modern spoke designe where as a few years back it was the tapered spoke of the te37s and lmgt4s that rained supreme.

[phunky_monkey]

I still think TE37's and LMGT4's are the nicest rims going around, but I also love Enkei NT03's which would be my choice for a cheap set of wheels.

[Marlin]

I'm with you there Dane, both are timeless.

I priced the Forged Advans that are on Berry's thing.... hmmm, too rich for me at around $1k per corner.

Anyone know where to buy Volk the cheapest? TE37 is still the stongest wheel available, their later stuff pales next to them.

I'd really like a forged wheel as Giant tells me I'm "hard on the gear"..... but not if they're twice or thrice the price!

And sorry I've kinda taken over the thread on this subject.... I don't think it warrants a thread of its own

Yahoo auctions would be your best bet for TE's Ben. You should be able to pick some up second hand in good condition, but would still be more than the Enkei's me thinks.

If not, then perhaps some NT03's??

You are Hard on the gear.. Admit it!

If its pure cosmetics then its up to the individual. But if you want the best track rims then sadly its TE37, GT4 or in 17" TC05s. They are forged, light, durable, and have the biggest internal clearances for brake setups and lower temperatures in operation. CE28s dont clear brakes as well, ditto the Enkei range of wheels. It sux that all the Work rims are pretty much heavy cast jobbies with sh1thouse brake clearance.

I have never tried the NT03, so would be interesting. I would love a set but they are carnts to clean.

So, as much as i dont rate TE37s, since Marlin and Bel180, Baron have MY TC05s, which in 17s actually clear some 355mm brake setups....well its what I am running

[Marlin]

I can hand them back to ya mate if you really want them?

And Timmy, do you really think so? I thought when we used to chat in the car you said I was really smooth? Or were you referring to something else? Maybe my chest? Or with the laaaaadiies?
