I have no time for heavy rims.. the rims you want arn't my cup of tea but i do see the appeal..

I think they look awesome for the look your going for.. I havent seen them before so its good that they arn't common

Id say if you like them that much.. go for it.. but you will see a decrease in performance..

theres a slight diff between 25kg and 8.

25kg + Tyres x 4rims = :blink:

DON'T BELIEVE YOU :P

They're only 7" wide, why wouldn't they weigh 8kg... :blink:

Actually put them on a scale and see. My wheels (15x7.5) weigh ~7.5kg each just to give you an idea. These are SSR Mesh wheels too, not some 'cheapo' branded wheels.

They are not some cheap brand. they are Koya a very strong reliable company within Australia and New zealand. Why am i even bothering argueing. all i wanted was your opinion on how these wheel looked. i dont give a shit about anything else. i know how much they weight so stop talking about it. i just want to have your opinion on how these wheels look.

hahaha sorry about that mate, I personally think that the wheels would look alright if it actually filled out the guards enough. The small spokes would make your brakes look small, but if you're going to upgrade them later on...

Did these manage to clear your front brake calipers okay? I always hear problems of people having to use 5/10mm spacers to clear the brakes.

Shit happens what can you do. when they put the wheels on the grey insert in the wheels blended in very nicely with the colour of the car. the dish is approx. about 12 cms and looks shit hot. Didnt have a problem with brake clearance that i know of.

When people's wheels rub the calipers, it's only a few millimetres that's why they use a 5mm spacer to clear it. If you only trial fitted to see what they look like and not spin the wheels, there COULD be clearance issues.

What are the widths and offsets of the wheels?

Not saying they aren't light just think you might be out with your less-than-8kg estimate :P

under 8kg's for wide 19's are VERY light

I would strongly suggest you weigh them (without tyres) if you can - even if you don't tell us

ps. I think they are good looking wheels and would like to see what they look like on your car

INOX Drifters - The exact rim in your pic are in Australia. im almost definate ive seem them on a car. oh and plus the company is australian.... so im not sure what you ment there.

and second. i very much doubt the weight of just 8kg.... .:P...

and third... they do look sweet... but most definatly will make your breaks look tiny weeny... lol

oh and double check the caliper clearence. had this issue my self... did not want to use spacers. ended up going 19" drift Rs and got real good clearence.

I have a great camera in my phone. very good quality, but it decided to shit itself.

Redback the wheels are not INOX Drifters. these are the drifters and the vizzo. Totally different

The Vizzo is on the left with the drifters on the right

dude a nismo lmgt4 19x9.5 weighs 9.4 kg... and that's a single peice forged lightweight jap rim.

yours are going to be double that no matter what

and your arms are not a pair of scales... to pick somehting up and say its 8kg is rediculous.

every time i carry my record box it feels the same weight, yet getting on planes it has weighed in from 18 - 24 kgs

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
