What Are These Wheels?

[Flynnn]

UPDATE:

After weeks of trying to find some rims that would suite the color and the lines of my car, i decided to settle for 18" Gravity Gullflame in Gold colour, 9.5" wide.

It's really essential for me to get the widest tyres available for a R33 GTST, so i was thinking 275's at the back and 245's at the front.

The 9.5" width rims come in these offsets: +15, +25 and +35

.. and the 8.5" width rims come in these: +25 and +35

Should I go both front and rear the same width rims? or Should i perhaps go 8.5" for fronts?

What is the ideal offset for front and rear wheels?

Do you think i could get same offset rims for front and rear on a gtst?

Help me plzzz..

Old post:

I've been lusting over these wheels lately, but can't seem to figure out what brand they are.

They can't be Wedsport SA-70's, although they look very much alike.

Can one one help me?

i think they look a lil different to cr-kai's as well

[Bliksem]

Weds TC105N's

I priced them through BT-Revolution around 6 months ago, around $2800 for 18" + 100 for delivery to your door if I remember correctly

Guys, another question.

What would be the best (like in that photos of Silvia above) for a R33, offset wise ?

Obviously not Emotion CR Kai's

The offset of the car above isn't THAT good. I mean it's got a wider body, but the wheels aren't close enough to the guards in my opinion. The front are alright though.

Try using this calculator mate.

Just experiment with different offsets and width to see how much the wheel comes out and see if there's enough room under your guards.

Hi Adam

In my defense, those pics were taken when I had a set of Ikeya Formula rear lower control arms in place and before I had a chance to get it aligned. I've since fitted the stock rear lca's and sold the Ikeya Formula ones (overkill for a daily), and the offsets are much closer to perfection. See the pics on the following post for proof:

Note that there's too much camber on the passenger side as it's yet to have an alignment (which will be happening tomorrow).

Cheers

Sorry mate, I didn't mean to offend you in any way. Seeing that the car is used as a daily, I'm not surprised it doesn't have its tyres 2mm from the guards.

It's a beautiful car though mate. I'll be lucky if any of my car's will look like that. Take care of it.

Cheers

[VSPEC32]

No wuckers mate. I was more surprised the many that putting the stock arms on would set the wheels up for almost perfect offset to the outside of the guards. But haveing said that, it means I can't lower it drastically without dialing a whole lot of camber in to tuck the top of the tyres under.

If I were you I would go with the 8.5" at the front and 9.5" in the rear. I wouldn't have a clue how much clearance there is between your wheels and your guards, but I can help you out if you can get me some information.

Your current wheel specs:

I'll need your, wheel width, offset, diameter, tyre width and profile.

Your new wheel:

Just give me your desired width for the front and back and I'll work out which offsets I'd recommend.

Also how much clearance there is between your WHEEL and your guards front and rear.

If you get me that information, I should be able to help you decide which offset to go with.
