dan_the_man Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 Had a look at these mags at Bob Jane Tmart the other day. Apparently they were built just for Skylines. $343 each for 17x8 without tyres. For r33 GTST Do you think they are worth it? Dan Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/18334-opinions-on-these-mags/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
aybee Posted June 15, 2003 Share Posted June 15, 2003 i had a look at buying them too. they look pretty good on that 34. but i deciding that i couldnt go past the model 5 look of the hijoin rims. plus never liked rims that have spokes that dont go all the way to edge of rim. like 3 piece, those drift Rs, etc. just that in 18s they look like 17s and 17s look like 16s. my 2 cents Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/18334-opinions-on-these-mags/#findComment-383495 Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0nyGTSt Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 They look ok - don't exactly give me wood unlike a lotta Japanese rims. At $340 I'd be looking at something else but taste is a individual thing is it not? T.

bonzelite Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 they're not bad. but they don't "give me wood" either. i've seen better. check out Work Meister S2's. or Nismo LMGT1's or GT4's. it's up to the beholder, really. kinda sorta. some wheels look outright stupid. but these are just "okay."

aybee Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 i find that most of the jap wheels that i see are farken ugly, especially when they are black or blue, etc. for example i would never even consider putting on nismo lmgt1s, for the example i gave above plus they are down right fugly. sweet jap rims are avs model 5, 6 and kreuzer, r34 gtr, buddy club p1 racing, volk te37. but like tony said it comes down to the individual. if you like the rims, buy them.

Nizmo Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 i got Roh's on mine but Adrelines. Those look ok but look more like something that would come standard with a ford or holden - good price tho - if u like them then u should go for them - they wont look ugly.

sewid Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 I saw these wheels in HPI mag i think (some mag) they looked a lot better in that photo. I dont like the Drift R logo. A bit tryhard to ripoff the GTR logo in my opinion. Why not use some creativity and be original instead? Thats a pretty lame criticism but it would put me off buying them so... :zzz: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/18334-opinions-on-these-mags/#findComment-385077 Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0nyGTSt Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 Originally posted by aybee avs model 5, 6 and kreuzer, r34 gtr, buddy club p1 racing, volk te37. but like tony said it comes down to the individual The above rims are VERY expensive. Buddy clubs are $5,000? GT-R rims are always CLASS. Volks you know how expensive they are. It is a bit unfair that you compare rims that are thousands to a cheap set of $1,200 rims. But again no-one said SAU did not have expensive tastes T.

Peter Wilson Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 If anyone is interested in a set of Buddy Club P1 Racing wheels (with tyres), PM me. They will shortly be going up on the correct forum...

aybee Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 i was comparing them to the work meisters and nismo rims. Buddy clubs arent worth anywhere near that. maybe in 21s even if i could afford them i dont know if i would go for the big brands. model 5s have been my favourite from the second i saw them, so... i bought some hijoin copies cause of the all the copies around i thought they were the closest. plus it was good that they were the cheapest avs model 5s :whackit: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/18334-opinions-on-these-mags/#findComment-385882 Share on other sites More sharing options...
