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)

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...

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.

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.

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 :D

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.

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
