Hey all,

Just thought I'd share a few photos of my cars new rims. I wanted some cheap rims to last me for a few months until I sell the car, so when I found these for $800 of this forum, I was happy to have them. I need to lower the car now, so that'll be the next thing, but let me know what you think. I'm going to get them powder coated soon, so I'm open for suggetions as to colours.

they look good mate, but only 4 stud? i only know of skylines to have 5 stud

Factory NA's came with 4 studs..

On its arse.. it needs it..

I like it white..

Gunmetle grey looks very good an silver cars too!..

Could take a risk and go bronze?.. that wouldnt be too bad..

Block goes with everything..

Yeh, I'm scared to go around corners, becaue the centre on gravity is like a 4WD!! And yes, I need to wash them, but I was so excited to get them that I just wanted 2 get them on.

Big thanks to Fei Sti Rex (Andrew) for finding them, AND going to get them for me! Thanx man, I owe you big time now!! And Chunda, thanks for doing the 5-stud conversion!! :laugh:

I'm not sure if I want to paint the rims now! It off-sets the car nicely. I was thinking metalic gun metal grey. Something dark, but not black. I'll do some photoshopping and see how me go.

Next up is the new exhaust and cat, then lower it. Maybe a body kit and fibreglass bonnet? Dunno yet. Damn Andrew!! You have put too many ideas into my head!!

It needs to be dumped on its arse, the 4WD height probs doesnt help. It does look small, but i think when its dumped it will look bigger. Any ideas on cheap kits? I was thinking Trust front bar, with VIVA Type 3 side skirts and rear bar.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
