white te37's :(

and i also dont mind the look of the white starcorp impuls (although i dont think they are japanese)

na, TE-37's look shite on gts-t's / gtt's, not enough offset to get depth into the spokes. GTR only, same with LM-GT4's

m2 hanbais dt05r in gunmetal. 18x9 +20 all round.

work meister s1 2 or 3 piece. 18x9 & 18x10.

work cr kai - 18x8.5 & 18x9.5.

work xd9 - 18x9 & 18x10.

desmond regamaster - 18x9 +20 all round.

any of those fron the top of my head and sizes close to those will be good as.

No, no they don't. Dezz has a set of them in 18's on his car and they look the shiz! I get all jealous everytime I see them :(

But yeah, +1 for SSR Professor SP1's. Real nice set of rims!

+20 would u have to make a few modifications to fit these offset, this is gtr territory isnt it?.

yer xd9s i like the look of, but i dont mind spending a bit of cash on forged stuff

ther is a user on here named blags who has xd9s on his 33 and the rears have a bit of dish looks mint

The difference between the gtst and the gtr should give you a clue as to what design of wheel would look better.

Because the gtst does not have the "phatness" of the gtr, Wheels with big dish go a long way to enhancing the appeal of the gtst from a looks perspective.

The gtr can get away with far less dish by virtue of its already phat look.

Wheels like meisters and starcorp impulse transform the skinny arsed gtst in to a car with way more street presence.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
