hey guys i'm in the market for rims for my r32 gtst coupe but i seriously don't know what to buy. i've planned to save up and buy some at the end of the year hopefully when sponsers on the forums are having sales or when people are buying wheels from sponsers and getting rid of their current rims lol.

Now i don't want anything over the top. I just want to use as much available space under my stock guards without rolling, lipping or anything of the sort. For rims i like dark colours like black and gunmetal grey. Dish or no dish doesn't really matter to me. considering 16" and 17" only. 7.5"-9" wide.

If anyone can share ideas and pics of what they think look hot on r32 gtst's that would make my decision alot easier as i can see it for myself. Don't know if theres a thread like this but people can refer back to this thread when purchasing rims for their beloved.

My expensive choices would be (new or used) black te37's but i know they only look good with some good offset (my opinion), XD9's, nismo LM gt's and black meisters.

Cheaper choices would be (new or used) Buddy club p1's in gun metal, avs model 6's in gun metal/silver, any of the old skool dish enkei's, old school super advan tri spokes and black ns-01s/ drift teks.

Now who can show me some pictures! :)

yeh i could go the gtr rim route...i also like r33 gtr rims as well as r32 gtr rims...for 34 gtr rims i like them without the caps on. thats just my opinion though.

looks like theres abit of stretch in the back hehe...what size tyre is on there? scrub much?

Professors... But i have to say that don't i :bunny:

all depends on coin...

on matter what you buy its all in the offset... Get your guards rolled a lil and let those suckers stick out!

te37's, xd9's and meisters...love them...these are on gtrs though so would look nothing like this good without some decent roll and lip

Those xd9's look awesome.

Is it much work to get them on a 32 gts-t?

I must say when i first saw a set of xd9's that i didnt think they were that great but now they have grown on me.

If you pm SoFly he should be able to tell you as i think he just got a set on his r32 gtst.

i guess if you want gtr size like them...maybe 18"x10" +18...there would have to be alot of work done to get them to fit especially if ur car is low. lip, roll the whole shabang.

a person i know has a 32 gtst thats lowered pretty low has r33 gtr rims...17"x9" +30 and he's needed to take out all the plastic bits in the guard as well as roll it. no lipping needed but for those xd9's in that size would need alot done to a standard gtst guard.

heres another one i found that i like! desmond regamasters!

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
