Hey just curious if anyone else has heard of them? i was looking on nismo.com.au (cant remember why) and they had a set of dtm rims on there that looked rather nice so i looked up the brand and it seems almost every set of rims they have a replicas. Even had an identicle te37 replica. The dtm rims that were on nismo were $1000 for a set of 18 inch rims no tyres.

Link to DTM: http://www.dtm.co.nz/page/dtm_6.php

So what do you reakon steer clear of them? Im running out of rim choices ive only got about $2500 to spend.

Want Volks but cant afford them =[

Yea i had difficulty with colour choice, and when i brought it down to black had 3 choices of Matt Black, Satin black, Or Gloss Black. Decided on gloss because it would be easier to clean and after seeing gloss black NISMO LMGT4's on JAGR33's black R33 GTR.

Should have pics by the end of the week. Just takes a while for them to get the wheels powder coated.

mate $2500 is plenty for some good jap rims, most likely second hand but there are a few lying around for sale.

There was a set of te37's just 2 weeks ago for $2200 with tyres, it was for 17'' though. but yeh...i confess to liking DTM wheels too.

not too sure about the quality though.

have had DTM's on my 34 for a few months now .. still love them, especially the chrome/shadow silver colour... One issue though, most of their rims apparently never arrive with hub rings (mine didn't) so you need to find the right size hub rings to fit them. It can be a PITA but most big wheel shops have them if you're lucky.

yes you can.... second hand jap rims that look brand new should come in at around 2.5k with rubber

I don't quite get the obsession with japanese rims ... what's the big deal? Most of them look plain and boring. Sure they may weigh 5kg less for the set but unless you're racing the car, who gives a damn ?

Oh and DTM is an NZ brand afaik

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
