Does anyone know of a company here in Aus that sells 4 stud deep dish, looking for 15x8 and I guess

a 0 offset. Even a supplier in Japan that does'nt involve trying to decrypt pages of Japanese. Or if you've got some tucked away that your willing to part with would be even better. I don't want Wantanabes, but will consider other spoked items. I've looked at import monster and not much in there, quite like some of the hayshiracing mags but again it's that whole Japanese decrypting that is a Head F #@K.

I'd also like a simple Y or N to the C210 being a 0 offset. Cheers

15x8 0 would be a good starting place. wouldnt be a hot boso fit but if your just going for a tidy street car thats where id start.. best bet is before you spend shitloads is to ask around on forums and test fit some wheels. importing is not feasable, and even people who own imported wheels want more now.

sportsmaxx make some decent sized wheels for the money. just under $900 delivered for a set of 15x8 0s

alternatively there is superlites/ challengers but i recon the challengers belong on a XY falcon and the superlites on an escort. good sized wheels for the coin though.

heres some inspiration

HGC211F14x8-6R14x105-38.jpg

Front: 14×8 -6 Rear: 14×10.5 -38 F: 175/60 R: 185/60

I think a zero offset for the front would be fine in an 8" but rears will need alot more negative offset to fill the guards(going from the above pic).

As for finding wheels, keep an eye on www.ae86drivingclub.com.au

often see wheels in decent negative offset pop up from time to time.

Thanks for the info, my rear guards will be cut out shortly and flared fenders attached so no problem with fitting 8" rims. So 0 offset for front and back should be ok. Looked at ae86 tonight and there does appear to be a few rims like what I'm after selling there. Again thanks Ricky, Dsh4, are those Wantanabes? they don't look so bad. Don't suppose you post items from there do you?

Thanks for the encouraging responses guys, as i said in my opening thread I'm not so keen on the Wantanabe look. I've seen so many other mags on C210's all in Japan of course, so there must be a heap of different designs available. Probably just not over here.

Infiniteautosport.com.au I just found this site whilst googling sportsmax 002. They've got some ok looking rims. Mostly 2nd's by the look of it. Once again thanks for your helpful info. With each new reply I'm finding more and more rims and avenues. Cheers. Don't spose anyones seen some Indy style rims, the ones with hole instead of spokes, I do like this style. In 4 weeks approx I'll be selling my rims for $400, near new tyres on each rim post-44326-1235565084_thumb.jpg,

Message sent to Steve. Had a long think about this offset business last night, and dsh4 is about on the money. Looked in my C210 service manual last night and found that the offset is + 25, but that's for a 5' rim. If I'm going 8" or even 9" the offset is definately going to have to swing back into negative by a long way. Think it's time too seek professional help as I don't want to stuff this up.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
