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.

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

      Need help about headlight

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just checking; you are buying an aftermarket headlight for your V35, and the new headlight comes with a daylight running light that you want to wire in? You have the option of just not wiring the DRL in, and the new headlight will work like the old. If you want the DRL to work you will have to wire it in on the car as it wasn't delivered with one. Best way is to add a Normally Closed or Changeover relay in the car, and wire: 87a to both DRL power wires 30 to a fused ignition power source 86 to earth 85 tap into the power wire that goes to the low beam headlight Note, you cannot use the much more common Normally Open relay for this, you need the DRL to turn off when the headlight is on and vice versa.

      Hey Kaz, Unfortunately I am not at home currently and wont be for a few more months so I do not have access to my files or CAD. And at this point I prefer to keep the files to myself as I want to potentially make a few more pairs and see if they will sell within the EU before openly marketing them. But the way it's shaped and how small it is, I don't think you can fit both an indicator and a fog light onto the same surround, unless they were very small LED-type clusters.

      Replacement clutch recommendation for an R32 GTR

      By Ryno · Posted

      I’ve just installed a Uniclutch sport into my R32. I’ve been blown away by it… it drives like a stock Toyota Corolla. It doesn’t make sense to me that a performance clutch can drive this well. I was about to pull the trigger on a Nismo Coppermix twin plate when I discovered the Uniclutch and decided to give that a shot instead. They’ve changed the game and I couldn’t be happier.    I was previously using an Extreme cushioned button clutch with lightened flywheel. I’m still using the same lightened flywheel with the Uniclutch.
