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! :)

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!

    • To expand on this to help understanding... The bigger/longer the block is, the more it's going to work to sit on your far away high areas, and not touch the low stuff in the middle. When you throw the guide coat, and give it a quick go with a big block, guide coat will disappear in the high spots. If those high spots are in the correct position where the panel should be, stop sanding, and fill the low spots. However, using a small block, you "fall off" one of the high spots, and now your sanding the "side of the hill". Your little block would have been great for the stone chips, where you only use a very small amount of filler, so you're sanding and area let's say the size of a 5/10cent piece, with something that is 75*150. For the big panel, go bigger!   And now I'll go back to my "body work sucks, it takes too much patience, and I don't have it" PS, I thought your picture with coloured circles was an ultra sound... That's after my brain thought you were trying to make a dick and balls drawing...
    • Oh I probably didn't speak enough about the small sanding block for blocking large areas.  In the video about 3 minutes in, he talks about creating valleys in the panel. This is the issue with using a small sanding block for a large area, it's way too easy to create the valleys he is talking about. With a large block its much easier to create a nice flat surface.  Hard to explain but in practice you'll notice the difference straight away using the large block. 
    • Yep I guessed as much. You'll find life much easier with a large block something like this -  https://wholesalepaint.com.au/products/dura-block-long-hook-loop-sanding-block-100-eva-rubber-af4437 This is a good demo video of something like this in use -    You have turned your small rock chip holes into large low spots. You'll need to fill and block these low spots.  It's always a little hard not seeing it in person, but yes I would go ahead and lay filler over the whole area. Have a good look at the video I linked, it's a very good example of all the things you're doing. They went to bare metal, they are using guide coat, they are doing a skim coat with the filler and blocking it back. If what you're doing doesn't look like what they are doing, that's a big hint for you  
    • The odometer does go up when driving.  Does this tell it is an issue with the speedometer itself?    Where can I look for replacement cluster? Or speedo? I can likely do the repair.. Will ER34 cluster work on HR34? Or do I need a HR34 20GT S2 specifically lol
