R34 Rim Choice

[QIK_GTR]

a mate had them on his R34, same colour as yours and they looked great, I think you've made a great choice, very safe, but it will look good!

[Granthem]

Well on a fine comb inspection last night i noticed that the mags have been scratched when going on. Basically the rattle gun has worn away paint of some rims in the nut chamber. Off to the tire shop today, see what they propose to do. I didnt buy brand new mags to have paint missing from a simple careless job!

nothing ever runs smoothly does it

[QIK_GTR]

thats something thats almost unavoidable....in all reality it'll happen eventually even if you use a tyre brace and do it by hand....I wouldn't be overly concerned about it and I'd think the tyre shop will say the same thing, its near impossible to stop that happening!

[Granthem]

Yeh i understand, but to me a little but of duct tape to stop the metal on metal would save it. its not a major problem but i thought with new rims they would have been more careful

^^^^^ Me too... I'd be pissed! People don't take care anymore huh? I have a white leather steering wheel in my R32 (Yea yea, I know, we've got to make mistakes to learn from them though) I took it to a mechanic in Townsville, came back with greasy black prints all over it! Grrrrr.....

What did the shop say they'll do for you??

[stolen_s15]

Nice choice mate. Only problem is those wheels will make your brakes look small and ghey. Good excuse to chuck come brembo's on.

[WOG BOY]

I just shat my pants,

very nice (best Borat impersonation)

Looks awesome mate, but definitely needs to be lowered just a little bit to make it look complete...

either that or some sideskits and rear bar

*BEWARE OF GUTTERS*

man do they make the stock rotors look tiny...

Cheers dude, Im very happy with the look its achieved

Yeh im planning on some nismo skirts and probably a rear bar like yours, or an Impul item.

Other then that the looks department is nearly completed!

Yeh brakes look lame now but

Thanks for your input Yo Yo!

nismo side skirts and matching rear bar (like mine) will look sweet.

Impul kit flares out a bit more so I don't think it will flow with the stock frontbar

Just paint your brake calipers like I did lol! I was gonna do them in brembo gold but the supercheat auto only had the anodised red left at the time.

^^Reds a great colour. My favorite Brembo Colour with the white writing.

VERY NICE Granthem! looks sweet. Maybe a nice subtle bodykit to top it off will look nice too.

they look MINT man, those rims look so good on the silver 34....dump it and damn dats hot....tint the fronts aswell!!!

[Granthem]

thanks for the comments guys im glad your all liking the look its achieved

[NA_Goodness]

Looks hot. once its lowered and the brakes are bigger it'll look sweet. Good work

[R34NRG]

defiently get some slotted rotors, or even better drilled =]

This is why when ever i've bought new rims i got the tyre shop to fit the tyres and balance them, then i take them home and fit them myself carefully with a torque wrench like they should have been done in the first place ! Then i return and get the alignment done.

I also don't like rattle guns anywhere near my blue anodised Rays wheels nuts.

Nice rims dude, i've got 19" Koya Race teks with black centres and polished lip on my 32.
