well its a front one, and apparently the rears are verrry wide, yet it was off an r33 gtst, so he's bringing one front and one rear to work tomorrow, see if it fits, and even if i have to buy a brand spanka from takakaira or something i will still have leet wheels, but if i can find one second hand one then yippee

they are silver with red, instead of blue like daves

I bought a set of second hand wheels for my R30 - 2 had been damage, like run flat, badly pitted around the tyre seal.

The guy I got them from managed to get them fixed - said he didn't believe they were the same wheels when he picked them up.

I don't know where they were done (somewhere in Heidelberg) - see the guys at Beaurepaires in Bayswater and ask them about the RS Impul wheels.

yep they advertise per wheel

i tried the rear wheel on my car

GOD DAMN IT LOOKS AWESOME!

its silver with red instead of blue like leewah's

i love them

rear's have 275's PZero's

fronts i forgot

only thing is the front buckled wheel

he's gonna bring it to work tomorrow, gonna take it to tyrepower (who helped me out a lot today, wheel nuts were threaded, he took them off for me, sold me new ones for cheap, and also a set of locknuts for $10 :) :)) get them to see how buckled it is, if its fixable then i'll take it this guy in heidelberg he recomended (maybe same guy u were talking about blind-elk?)

if it cant be fixed then i will be sad but wont be to upset

the $700 price tag was per wheel, i didnt hear properly, but he said $1500 for me :):P with tyres

i hope this can be fixed, they look awesome, i think the rears are 18x9 or 9.5!

its crazy!

front might be 18x7 or 8 hehe

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
