GTRsean, that carbon fibre front lip look nice.

Cheers. Ended up selling it to one of the guys on here because over time it would end up getting damaged on my daily...

Pretty sure it's a garage saurus lip.

My LM GT3's slid out in the wet today (well more aquaplaned) and said hello to a gutter :D

This kinda stuff's fixable right? I called Magman, and I'll have to email him pics to get a quote... Not cracked, just needs rolling out, and the rest welding or whatnot. I explained to him they're the Nismo rims...

Also, Steve: Not sure those are legit LM's. I'm pretty sure they didn't make them in 16". I may be wrong though.

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.

You know ive got a soft spot for these things

Whats the offset?

Also, what guard/lining mods have been done?

I had 18x9.5 on before, stretched 235's to fit under the guards as mines low. Currently on R33 GTR rims which will be replaced as soon as i find the right offsets and design for a nice 18'' but this time i want 18x10 :P

Hey Owen,

I recently got my Lm GT1 18X10 shaved back for some gutter rash which was inherited when i bought the car... The Magman will prob charge u a large amount for these as the inside of the wheels need to separated from the othside of the rim as they need to reanodise the wheel. You can do separate this youself but it does take some time might be cheaper too.. just ask the place where u werre gone get it done at. The cost would be mainly due to the outside rim being aniodised. This is a surface coating which you will notice gives the outer part i.e the rim of the wheel a "shinner" look. When geting your wheels shaved back for gutter rash you loose this anionised effect.. in addition when they weld onto the rim to fill in deep gashs the aniodised finish may sometimes discolour... (purplish metal colour) so you should be aware of this before getting them welded.

Any way i reckon they are an awesome rims and pretty rare, so fixing them might be a good idea...you need to do the balance thou, if they gonna charge you too much then its prob not worth it.

Hope some of this information helps

Cheers

I got these as well, can't be that rare >_< . I got mine when I told the place that I bought the car from that I didn't want their cheap 18's. so they took 2 grand of the the price and put on some 17" lm-gt's. I was kinda happy though I aint completely sold on em.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
