Seriously though...

Color choice, be it for wheels, interior, body, whatever, should be entirely up to you... but having said that, I think gold wheels look crap... even on the Impreza/Kia WRX twins...

Bronze on the other hand, especially bronze TE37's, are the mutt's nuts.:burnout:

Hey Rezz,

Thanks for the pics - I know lots of people think gold wheels look crap - that's why you can't buy them easily new these days.

I just had the idea - and I didn't know what it would look like.

So thanks for the Pics

As for my opinion - the jury is still out !

Cheers,

Steve, why don't you present ROH or somebody with a deep dish design? They might just go there.... Oz made Japanese style wheels - for Aussies who are fed up with this...

Well when I was looking for a set of wheels, I think I rang up several wheel places (ROH, Simmons, ANZ, etc.....) and I only found one wheel design that I liked that had even a close resemblance to dish as most of the places only had a couple of offsets to suit skyline and 17x8x9, unless I went for a custom made 3 piece :( - buying direct from japan would have been cheaper.

I don't know why - but I think I like gold wheel on a silver car.... It's a bit different I spose......

I think I'll have to go search some other colours as a comparison. Maybe Black or White .....

I dunno - It's hard to choose wheels hey ?

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
