Looking to replace my stock wheels on my black (and completely stock) r34 gtt and I really like the look of some of the 10 spoke wheels .. plus everyone seems to have 5 spokes

Has anyone got a black gtt with a 10 spoke wheel set by any chance ? or have you seen pics posted of one anywhere on SAU ?

Tempe have these wheels that are 10 spoke but they only come in hyper silver ..no shadow chrome which is what I'd like http://www.tempetyres.com.au/products_clos...mp;part_no=1478

Do you think the car would look silly with 18" rims with 10 spoke design with stock suspension ? This is the look I'm after:

I just found these rims that look very similar to the ones pictured.. and the price is good. Anyone know if the RPM brand is any good or absolute shit? http://bigotyres.com.au/showcase/index.php...products_id=503

Before buying from tempe, or other local places, find out the offsets they come in.

You dont wanna be spending big money on rims with shit offsets which wont suit the car at all..

why not go with something like VOLK CE28N - 10 spoke, Jap light weight rim and probably is forged.

Or perhaps some WedSports. Most of them come in multispoke!!

But honestly i wouldnt buy anything from tempe

Edit: The r34 you attached - are those the new advans?

personally i think 10 spokes would look great on a 34. however it all depends on the offset ya get,how they sit on the car and your budget.

im a little biased as i like the look of mesh and multispke rather than the 5 spoke styles.

any japanese wheels will be 2-3x more exxy so are pretty much out of question unfortunately ..I'm not gonna buy from tempe because they're SOOO dodgy (I was in there today and god .,.I never wanna go back) Not sure if BigO's is any better ..

You can always buy 2nd from japan..

Will be from 1.5k to 2.4k MAX for a decent light weight rims.

i have seem some Ce28ns for 2k landed with rubber!!

Whats the price for rims if you buy here locally? as in from tempe etc..

i bought 2nd hand ssr's from japan that were in showroom condition for the same price i paid for my brand new aussie wheels... and the jap ones had way better rubber!

    • Yeah nice idea, you mean to suction it to the gauges? I hadn't thought of that.
    • A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

    • I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.
