Hey guys,

Looking to get the D1R wheels for my r34 gt-t. The guy at the tyre shop is quoting me for 18x8.5 and 18x10 rims. These sound a bit big, do any r34 owners have these on their cars and will they fit or will i need to get smaller width. I dont want the wheels hanging out of the guard. If people could post pics as well would be good..

Cheers

Ye they are the lenso ones. Why wouldnt you bother? Looks wise or is something wrong with them quality wise. Keeping my options open anyway just trying to decide what i want but i was curious about the 10inch wide rim at the back after i heard. I dont think that they make a 9.5" wide i think the next drop is to a 9. Has anyone got these on their cars?

he mean's get light quality jap rims....

i'm probably gonna get some d1r's in 17x10+15 for drift... i like the fact that you can destroy them and replace 1 if needed....

there is no way i'm letting my ssr's near a drift day

thats fair, i still havent seen them on an r34 yet so im still not 100% about getting them, just saw them and thought they would look pretty tough on a white car. Im just trying to find something nice, just for street use though. It doesnt matter if they are a bit heavy. If i didnt get these i would prob get 19" wheels of something else anyway. Im gonna put semis on the stockers and use them for track days. Any thoughts?

i just dont like them personally.

i had a play with them at access auto a couple of weeks ago when i was there and they r seriously heavy, like there heavier than my stock rims on my 34

How much heavier?

They are much, much bigger than the standard R34 wheels as well...

my thoughts are drive on the road on stockers and spend ur money on good rims (quality not looks) and tyres for the track.

but since i can tell ur shooting that idea down in flames in ur head right now, id suggest if u really want something that looks good, and u dont really give a shit abot quality then the D1R's are fine, they wont break like glass, but id personally keep them on the road and not take them to the track, i wouldnt reccomend stockies for the track, even with semi slicks, but i guess thats up to u. personally id spend about a grand on some good quality wheels for the track, dont have to be uber lightweight, just something that is made by a reputable manufacturer, (Rays, BBS, Work to a lesser extent) in a track/sports orientated form (NOT meisters, vs-kf's etc etc), strength is the key, without being a boat anchor.

Is there a reason why stockers are no good for track? I had a type r integra i used to run at wakefield all the time and that was awesome to drive with semis on stock tyres (im pretty sure they came with enkeis from factory though). Thats the only reason i didnt really see a problem with running stockers at the track. I can always get good track wheels if i find some on the forums cheap or on ebay / whatever but i just thought that there wouldnt be a huge problem running the original 17s at the track.

because they are thin and relatively heavy, being thin means u cant go very wide tyres, and if u try anything slightly wide ull get the tyres balooning, this means u can often get the tyres flopping over the place under heavy cornering.

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
