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:

Thats fine. Oh and also the wheels are not yet available in australia for a few months. There just happened to be one at my local bob jane tmarts from the car show on the weekend. and they are light. Zennon believe what you want

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

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
