Asking For Opinions

OK I've been looking for some decent track rims and these are the best price/performance I can currently find for under $2000

How would you think they would look on my Silver R33 GTR?

Yes Mick, I'll put FEDERAL 595 RS's on them (unless you can get the r's for me)

[leech_]

i voted for ok but a better colour from memory and i may be wrong you have a silver 33... if so get them in gunmetal grey or black and they will look awesome.

[TailsTails]

19s, deep dish black and chrome lip for the win.

[TiTAN]

Why not find a set of wheels you like for every day use and keep the stock wheels for track use?

[Mike.joosteN]

That is nice dude i'd also go a set of them...

joosteN^

I'm with TiTAN. Go the larger, fancier rims for around town and keep the stockies for track work. That is unless you plan on getting some really monster brakes and will need the larger wheels all the time?

If that's the case then you will have no futher need for your stockies and i'll be the first to put my hand up for them...

[a20089]

I want to go with the larger rims with more expensive tyres for track work then cheaper tyres for daily driving (something I do a lot more of). Besides anyone can see the amount of stress I put on the 17" tyres around the track so I'm very keen on getting better performing tyres and 18"s are the best for the track currently.

They would look pretty awesome. nothing wrong with silver rims on a silver car

seriously, i voted good because they wouldn't look as good GT-C's or something, but they still would look awesome...

[towlie]

Hey dude,

They'd look pretty sweet on the GTR.

I've got a set of 18X9 +22 volk wheels I'm trying to sell which would be pretty good for track work. Let me know if you're interested and we'll work out a good price.

I think they'll look nice but with more dish. Colour....?? On silver cars, I like silver, gold, bronze and maybe white but white would depend on the wheels. Never been a big fan of black wheels, always thought you kind of rip your self off cos black hides the wheels so it doesn't really matter what style they are, where as lighter colours highlight them more......did that make sense? Having said that, I have seen some nice ones with polished rims but they tend to be for show only, ie: big and heavy. Just my 2cents.

Ps: The ones on the Beema look hot as but they look like they're at least 19s.

[a20089]

Thanks everyone for the feedback, I've got to check out Towlie's wheels but unless they are something special I'm going with the SSR's

Leech yes I have a Silver GTR, but black wheels, na.. the lady in charge of "bling" wanted back wheels until I showed her black wheels on silver cars, I'm now excluded from looking at black wheels.

JD-33 spot on mate.

Mang have you looked at the price of those wheels... I could not afford 2 of the for the price I'm getting all 4 of the SSR's

Tarmac, you make perfect sense

The reason for the 18"'s as explained is I have worn the side walls off the 17" 585SS Federals doing a training day at the track, so I need good tyres with less sidewll flex for a real track day. Yes I'm still keen on running a track day, but I've been slowed with supplier issues.

[Sauce]

Silver rims on silver cars is nice ;D

They're hot. I want a set for my 33!

[Tarmac-]

"I have worn the side walls off the 17" 585SS Federals doing a training day at the track"

That's happening to my 15's too and I saw the same on Michele's 17's

[datto260Z]

That should look the goods. My C5s looked good against the silver on the Z, now I have darker simmons and I dont think it looks as good.

[icandy]

they should look great, who you are sourcing these from?
