Hey all. after my buddyclubs got mashed I am looking for an affordable set of wheels and came across these koya RB

wheels. they look awsome and have an old skool flavour i like a lot.

my application is an R32 with 4 x 114.3 stud pattern. They also have to clear 296mm rotors with GTR callipers. but the offsets look to be a bit of a problem. I am looking at getting:

17 x 8.5 with + 4 for the front and my guards are stock. to these I want to fit 235's

17 x 9.6 with -19 for the rear and my guards are lipped and rolled 1 inch. and to these I will be fitting 255 semi's

Will these fit? can someone shed some light on the offsets? I am having trouble working it all out.

also does anyone know who else stocks them apart from otomoto? if these is a place in melbourne that would be great!

thanks!

Just to clarify, you have an r32 with 4 stud?

I just fitted 18x8.5 front to my r32 gtst at +30 and 18x9.5 rear +35 with rolled rear guards and they are fine at 100 mm ground clearance. if that helps.

So with +4 front and -19 rear you will need to have wide body guards to the tune of +20mm front and +60mm rear......

You could try and find the genuine article instead of ROTA copies, and get a wheel that doesn't have a reputation for breaking.

See if anyone's selling used Watanabes, if you want that JDM flavour. Minilites only seem to come in small sizes, like the Konig Rewind.

lolwtf... i've hardly heard of rota wheels.. are they really that bad?

Yes, they are. They're made in the Phillipines, a country not exactly known for its manufacturing quality.

If you're just ricing it on the street in a low powered car then they're fine, but I wouldn't run them on a good car being driven properly.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
