Well if you have ever heard of Autosalon, then you'd understand what the wheels would be for :/

Also i wasnt planning on driving on them like most people said and for 2300 bucks i wouldnt plan on buying them either, i just wanted to know if it was for one rim or not.

I was looking at 19" LMGT4's and the 20" TE37's caught my eye, for show use when i put my wide body n try entering it next year etc.

As for yur loling tell CGHOST R33 and the GHOST Skylines cars that are at Autosalon why they have 20"s on their cars or why anyone at any show changes their rims :wave: Too many people jump to conclusions here without actually helping out or contributing.

I have some decent/affordable 18x9's on my R34 coupled with 235 front and 265 rear Kuhmo ECSTA SPT's and they do the job damn well.

err... i actually lol'd @ gtst just being gtst...

Let the man do what he wants.

I mean its neither a practical rim nor does he want to use it as a practical rim.

Autosalon isn't particularly my cup of tea but if that's your thing go for it. Personally I rate it up there with people who build 'street' muscle cars and then tow them around on trailers to events. Kinda disgusts me.

And sh!t guys, in the end its his money for his purpose not ours.

All he wanted was some info on the price, not for a running commentary on how much of a dick they may make him look.

agreed. Whats the point in putting massive ass wheels on skylines.

Just ends up ruining the handling and seems pointless

Thats what you think. If you have decent aftermarket suspension and have your camber and toe settings right Its no different to 17's or 18's, my car handles like a dream and turns on a dime. hardly understeers and very easy to control power oversteer.

I love the rim bashers on here, so full of shit.

As most people know I have 20" AMEs on my 32 and used to drive it daily to work and didn't have a issue

If the rim is a good quality rim (not a china special) you wont have an issue using them on the street.

Obviously for racing you would go smaller but for driving on the street and show rims size means f**k all

because you cant use the handling and performance of the car unless your driving like a tool.

I like the sort of VIP/USDM style that I'm going for thats why i put 20s on my car.

And now being 20x11 at the rear they really look insane.

Seriously just because someone doesn't like stock 16s like the rest of the stock brigade doesn't mean what they like is stupid or wrong

its time to grow up and respect other peoples ideas when they are actually trying to make an effort at doing things properly.

wow, didn't expect the thread to go into a full blown argument, but i do appreciate the people that have spoken on my behalf for my choice.

As for the rims, they are something i do wan to do when i get around to it, im just getting ideas now. And will check out the GT7's etc like people have suggested and obviously look into diff suspension set ups and cambers etc.

A minority of people on SAU have found out now that i have purchased a Cross - Factory Wide body front and rear fenders along with a bomex bodykit and have many "aero" parts such as hoods etc lying around ready to be fitted and painted. Since i have all the parts now and will be building putting it together. I will be moving on towards the performance side of my car.

Being that my car is N/A i have contacted Nissan and since then have undergone many calls, and enquiries as to purchase myself a RB26DETT N1 engine and GETRAG Tranny.

So my car wont just be a show pony, it will have some balls eventually too and that is my next goal. As for the people that have helped out and contributed (even the ones that just stated opinions) I will be posting a new thread called RB26+GETRAG (something along those lines) to get help on the performance side too.

So thanks for everything from the people that helped out and respect my ideas.

Ps. Yes i added you GTST to my friends because i did not take offence to your comment, and by replying i hope you didnt either to mine. Hence the request to make sure we are still on the same page, regardless of what rims we like :(

I have 20's

Handles the same as it did on 19's, 18's, 17's and 16's. Doesn't sit like a tractor with the right suspension.

Only downside is they're heavier and the tires are more expensive which is fine by me. When I need to, i swap back over to my 18's.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
