I was going to say, gee they look exactly like my LM-GT2's ... Thanks for the clarification MintR33 !

They are an awesome looking rim. I have them for my circuit racing, love the look... make the car look so much tougher than the VOLK multispoke rims i use for street...

They are like any other aftermarket wheels, but I believe it is Rays Engineering who make the wheels, do not make them anymore as there are the Nismo LMGT4's now hence why they are rare.

Nissan/Nismo would have used them on their Skylines/Fairladies (Z cars) with their racing events like with the R34 GTR and the 350Z JGTC, they use Nismo LMGT4's.

I would keep them for sure.

Also Revhed01 has a set of White Nismo LMGT2 wheels and looks very nice.

cheers lads. they are a bit scrappy so i want to get them reconditioned. how would i go about replacing the "nismo" decals? also, anyone know a good workshop in brisbane who recondition rims? adam

As good as new, it was cheap, only about $100. Just give yourself a full afternoon to seperate the wheels though it takes alot longer than you'll think.

I planned on getting the middle part machined back to silver and then doing everything in clear but didnt end up doing the machining. Make sure you get the clear though, they recommended it to prevent fading, stone chips etc. Its not much extra either.

Had these for over two years now.

They suit the 32's!

These are 18x10's all round.

Only problem I have had is the inner rim cracking, from fatigue crappy Sydney roads etc.

Got em de buckled, rewelded and machined. Running 265 35R18 tyres all round, as I was running 255 35's, too stretched lol.

Got LM GT1's on my 33 . I tried to get a spare back in 2001 (Scraped a gutter) and was told that it would be almost impossible so I agree, EXTREMELY RARE rims nowdays

Tops it off really well.

Cheers,

Your wheels suit your beast too, gotta get that certain look going!

Only problem is that if these crack again they can't be fixed, so it's gonna be hard to find the 'right' wheels for the beast.

Bought my car about 3 months ago and they came with the same kinda rims, was just wondering if they are original LMGT 1's or 2's because i cant find any on the net that come in 16"s without the dish. also wondering what they are roughly worth.

    • @Supernanoyour car has ended up in my hands and I was wondering if there has been any work done to the motor?  
    • Sigh... yeah OEM mount rear battery, very R33, very demure, very mindful.
    • Would need a substantial current draw in the car to make a bunch of sparks. Obvs to now test resistance to ground of the car's B+ lead. If there's a short there, you'll see it. Only likely place for that, as you suspect is alternator. But there is also the possibility that rats have had a chew on some insulation. Shitbox has the battery in the boot, yeah? Plenty of cable to attack.
