I'm after some tough Jap rims in good condition. With the way the Yen is at the moment its been a nightmare trying to find suitable wheels in the sizes i'm after for a good price. I need to find a set asap

Sizes i'm after is 17x9 (front) and 17X10 (rear). 18's are also fine depending on price and 1?x9.5 and 1?x10.5 will also be considered.

Wanting something along the lines of TE-37's, VSK-f's, GT-C's, GT-N, SSR Professors, SA-70TT's, TC-105N, etc...

Would prefer tyres, although not necessary...

^^^ The wheels are going on a stock bodied Silvia, so no way of those fitting unless i run copious amounts of negative camber, which i don't want to do!

Thanks anyway... :(

veilside andrews on NS. really love the rims and was gona buy them myself but got meisters instead. jump on NS and go on the wheels for sale thread. 17x9 fronts and 17x10 rears.

Yeah, i saw Locky's wheels on N.S.com a while ago, but they are ghey offsets and i'll have to use spacers.

Hmm, i tried to edit the original post to include the offsets i'm after but i could only edit this post? WTF?

Anyway, i'm after +0 for the front and +12 for the rear, if the fronts are 1?x9.5 around the +12 - +18 offsets...

yeh true i guess about the offsets if you want gansta jap tuffness but 10" on the rears would be kinda pushing the limit.

theres some cr kais on ns aswell 17x9.5 +20 all round. pretty sure those would scrub on stock bodied silvia if lowered and 225s aren't used lol.

I say stock bodied as in metal guards and not fibreglass wide body, but they will be lipped and flared. With a suitable flare and a 235 tire, even with the planned -0.5 to -1.0 camber i'll be running a 10" wheel will be fine. It's going to be tough as f**k, thats why i'm being fairly picky about wheels and want something thats fairly recent and not too old, i want everything to be just right!

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
