I am trying to pick out a new set for my track car.

i Currently have a set of AVS model 5 i think rims. 17 x 9 + 19 all around. there is no way in hell they will fit under stock guards but there is a fair few sets for sale that would.

Personally i dont like them that much but they came along at the right time for the right price.

I personally love the old school look. work meisters or equips for the plain dish look but if your gonna go dish make sure you have plenty or non at all.

pic of my car for reference

yeh true about dish...same with xd9, emotions, te37's, some of the weds and anything that have that tapered/curved look when theres good offest.

avs 6's and buddy club p1's are some i like that don't need good offset.

Few from my old R32 that I thought looked best

Abu.....all i can say is WOW. You've probly got one of the sexiest looking R32's i've ever seen!! :)

It looks tough with anyone of those rims but i like the XD9's the most, then probly the 33GTR's.

Jake, just pick one of the rims Abu has. Same offset, width etc....you cant go wrong and it will look tuff as :)

  • 2 weeks later...

just recently bought a cheap set of wheels..8" +38 front and 9" +38 rears...really happy with the wheels as i got them pretty cheap and picked up some bridgestone potenzas for the front and advan neova ad07's for the rear for cheap as.

they are gmax's but i have no idea what model they are because the aren't on the site so most likely old skool.

i've only put the rears on as i'm waiting to fit and balance the tyres and i miust say...it looks tuff as. i was scared +38 9" in the rear wasn't enough but its enough to fill up the guards and not look over done.

so anyone with a r32 gtst that isn't willing to roll/lip/modify guards and want to use as much space as possible 17x8 +38 and 17x9 +38 is pretty good. you could probably go to +35-+32 but i think any lower and you'll be rubbing on something. My car isn't slammed on its ass but it is lowered with apexi springs.

i'll post up some pics once i have tyres fitted.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
