Dtm Rims

[Darkplague]

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 =[

Sorta more interested if there a good rim then where to buy them from, but thanks anyway.

I guess its a case of you get what you pay for?

[babyskyline]

You can go through the topic i posted above and ask the guys who bought them if they were good quality in their opinion.

I will be recieving my set sometime this week. Got the DTM Rush in Gloss Black 18x8.5 +29 (front) and 18x9.5 +35 rear.

Will post picks when tyres are on at the end of the week.

will be interested to see pics Kris.. thinking about a set for my 33 also, but can't decide on colour!

[krzysiu]

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.

[Darkplague]

Yes please post pics, i was looking at the dtm rush in hyper black, but wasnt sure how they would look on a r34.

Where are you buying them from if you dont mind me asking?

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.

Im buying them from Access Auto Works (SAU Sponsor)

They are in Melb so convenient for me to pick them up.

[Darkplague]

Had nothing better to do at work so i tracked down some pics of an 34 with the DTM Rush rims.

yeah I was about to say go check Doski's gallery .. I have the same rims, also black 34 .. They look heaps better IRL too Very cheap and more unique than any of the standard catalog rims you see everwhere

[wizlb]

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

[Darkplague]

Yes i dunno how i managed to miss all the second hand jap rims, must be blind, found quite a few around my price range yesterday, nice to.

Thanks for the reply guys, really helpfull.

sweet...

i paid 2300 for my professors in mint condition with 4x dunlop lemans with 95% tread

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
