I dont think they are shadow chrome, look like the matt metal version .. still look pimp :D

Damn this just bought some White ones .. came with new tyres tho :rofl:

Yeah, they are "called" shadow chrome but are painted. Easier to keep clean than chrome :)

u bought another set of starcorps!?

hmm very cheap for these wheels..

if its still around end of jan ill buy them.

any chance with chucking in some tyres?

also what kind of wheel nuts did you use? did you have to use the skinny barrel ones (use hex type key to remove) or the standard skyline ones fit?

Yeah, the price is very low considering their condition, but I decided to just go with my lowest price straight up to avoid all the tyres kickers ( no pun intended :D ) I don't think they'll still be around at the end of Jan but if they are, give me a yell :devil:

Sorry, I am using the tyres that came off these wheels so I can't help out there but there's always tyres coming up for sale around here or eBay etc etc so should be easy to find some more. ( BTW, the tyres that were fitted in the above pics are Falken FK452's in 255/35/18 Front & 275/35/18 Rear ).

The wheels nuts I was using were basic 19mm socket size, capped wheels nuts you can get from any wheel shop.

interested in a swap for some different 18s?

Thanks but not interested in swaps. I'm rolling on some stockies now and I'm leaving it that way.

Yeah I bought new ones.. Felt concidering I needed new rubbber might as well spend up an extra $200 for some rims .. they are white :D looks pimp!

Ill swap you my super damaged impuls for your nice clean ones? haha

Since I've had a few PM's asking the same questions, I thought I should answer them in the open so I don't keep getting more.

1. NO, they do NOT weigh 2 tonne per wheel as you might have been told ! The weight is very close to that of an 18x8 NISSAN factory alloy wheel and unless you plan on shaving your lap times, you won't notice any real difference ( my fuel usage didn't change at all from these to OEM 17's around town ).

2. I have no idea if they will fit a Stagea, but at a "guess" I would say not without flares/rolling and suspension mods ( would look hell phat though !! )

3. There is NOTHING wrong with them ! I just wanted to tone down the look of my car. With these wheels on I got too much attention and every tool in a XR6 Turbo or HSV or, or, or, wanted to run me. I thought the baby seat in the back might have signified that I wasn't into street runs but considering what I've seen on the news lately, I guess it means nothing :)

Cheers.

OK, someone buy these wheels so I can then go out and buy "baby on board" sign/s and some fluffy toys ! :)

As for those who've asked for better pics, I'll try to get some this weekend.

    • Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?
    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
