I've reaaally been doin my head in looking for some rims for my 32GTR; standard brakes etc.

Im lost when it comes to sizes and offset regarding each rim size as well as getting a rim/tyre package. (Im after Hankook K104). Not really a fan of thin spokes; i want something that will "fill" the guards; and im thinking bronze/gold would look pretty classy on a white GTR. They also gotta be able to handle the track.

Some examples of rims i like:

-TE37

-KOYA DRIFTEK WHEELS

-URAS NS-01

Looking to spend no more than 2.5K

PLEEASE dont give me a whole heap of options like "try 18x9 with 235 or 245 or 255 tyre, or 18x9.5 with this or that" or i'll just do my head in again lol

Just tel me straight up what rim with what offset with what size tyre and where to get em! :woot:

what colour is your car?

can't go past R34GTR rims - mine's black with these on them - i reckon it looks neat

oops just re-read - you car is white?

I like the clean look, so stick to a dark grey or silver rim.

R34 GTR rims would look awesome on a white r32. There was a couple of sets in the for sale section for about 2.6k with tyres.

or

Nismo LM GT4

Paint flaking around edges (just paint em white, or silver etc)

17x9.5 +12

Michelin Pilot 245/45 ~70%

$3000 - a bit over budget but well worth it..

There at Jimports

http://www.j-imports.com.au/

would look something like this (they are te37s)

What's wrong with some Aussie rims - ROH "Drift R" in a 17x8 (235/45x17), maybe 17x9 (245/45x17).

Talk to Andrew at Traction Tyres in Rowville.

Haha!!

Probley have more luck with those wheels at the Holden Forum. :down::P

you should buy these off Karl in WA. I was going to but its not suited to a gtst. Was on ar32gtr before.

If they where a bronze/brass/gold color they'd be something like im after....

.....fcuk me, i neva realised choosing rims on a budget for a line is so haard :D

(OO)SKYLINE(OO),

Sell me your rims! :D

Edit: I've just realised this thread should be in the Cosmetic section, sorry

I'm near (oh, so near) to getting a set of bronze TE37s in 18 x 9.5 +22, which is IMO the ultimate R32 GTR rim. NOTHING is tougher. I have a set of gold BBS LMs and they look the tits. They are 18 x 9 +20. I also have a set of R34 GTR rims in pretty darn good nick. I would consider selling them, but I do like 'em and I'm a wheel whore so have to see how I feel about it. See my AVATAR for pics of the R34 GTR rims on a silver R32 GTR. Colour is kind of grey, gold, metallic (with a tiny amount of green and brown in there). A good 'mysterious' colour... They are 18 x 9 +30. Offset should ideally be +20 (what the heck were Nissan thinking putting +20 rims on an R34?!?!).

Do not be conned into +12 or +15 offsets as they will stick out of your guards (assuming 9.5" plus width which they usually are). They are a 33 or 34 offset. Some will say they fit, but not according to me they don't. Do not go wider than 9.5" in a rim. Too big.

Minimum road tyre size for 9" is 245 (normal fit). I've got 265 on 9" and they sit straight on the sidewall. I'd go no bigger. The TE37s I've got coming will have 275s on 9.5". I'd go no bigger. I have 245 RE55 (semi slick) on the 9" R34 GTR rims and they are a perfect fit. I'd go no bigger in that tyre.

Love my wheels. Hope that helps. Sorry no pics.

Oh yeah, stick with forged. Light. Strong. Cool. (ever thought about forging a rim? Cool process. Man is clever).

But for big brakes I might have stuck with the original R32 GTR rims as they are beautiful. So light. Need 10mm spacers to look right plus some lowering of the car. Same goes for R33 GTR rims. 17" fills the guard a little more, and is slightly more in keeping with the original look of the car. 18 is getting kind of big, visually, for the old 32. Still, love the 18s on mine.

Some examples of rims i like:

-TE37

-KOYA DRIFTEK WHEELS

-URAS NS-01

for the record:

TE37's: having sex with a slutty supermodel that a lot of blokes have had at some point

Driftteks: having sex with a slutty ok looking chick that every man and their dog has had their way with, and catching aids

URAS NS-01's: having sex with a ok looking chick, catching aids, but being told by ur doc u only got herpes

If they where a bronze/brass/gold color they'd be something like im after....

Yeah nah buddy!

Oh yeah the pic in my sig is not my car, as I have don't have the spoiler and have White TE37's :D

you want an easy answer? get 34 GTR rims. they are strong, light(ish), forged, made by BBS, easy to find (if you want a 5th one as spare, or to replace a damaged one), they hold their value, they keep the original GTR theme going, and they look sweet. they are a good size being 18X9 +30 and if you like you can run some 10mm spacers to help them fill out the guards a little more, but they look fine as is too. they do look really good on a white GTR. the dark silver/grey wheel colour is a great contrast against the white. bronze wheels look pretty average on a white car. they are more suited to black/grey/red GTRs.

I should add 33 GTR rims are also a great choice one a 32, and are cheaper to buy, and cheaper to get tyres for. they are 17X9 +30 and are still forged and also made by BBS.

personally on my 32 GTRs i've had heaps of different wheels.

off the top of my head I can remember.

kakimoto 17X9s. 3 piece, I liked them

32 GTR wheels

33 GTR wheels

34 GTR wheels

Enkei NT-03

Weds TC-01

BBS LM GP

Advan SA03R

all were forged, all japanese. and none let me down. on the 32 now I run the BBS LMs for road use, and have the weds and the enkei's for track use. and the 32 GTR wheels are spares for my silvia. :(

why do u have someone elses car in ur sig? :(

It was a nice photo someone took in Japan I found on the GTR UK Forums and its probley how I want my car to look in the first place but I got something just as good so I left it that way. :(

Would URAS NS-01 17x9" +30 fit without any dramas on my GTR32? ....or is that too much offset?

They wil fit not a problem. That is exactly the size of an R33 GTR rim, which I've had on my car. Countless many others too no doubt. If anything the offset would ideally be +20 or +22, but it won't kill you having +30. Just sit in the guards a little narrower.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
