What Rims?


Recommended Posts

So in the next month i am looking at buying another set of rims for my 33 gtst to replace the heavy 'hunk of shit' spec ROH wheels that came on it.

The current wheels/hunks of shit are 18inch which i think fill the gaurds nicely so i am pretty keen to stay with that diameter and go with maybe 8.5 - 9 inch in width. Will stagger widths if needed but im unsure of what offset with look aggressive. Im sure most of you will tell me soon enough what works tho.

I will be rolling the gaurds to accomidate a tough offset so let me know what you guys have fit in your 33 gtst gaurds with rolling but no flaring.

See below for an indication of what style/look of rim i am into. obviously there is a big price range between the rims in the pics but it is an indication so u know what look i am after.

so, simialar to any of these and lightweight is what im after. post up prices if u know them and the dealers. im in hobart so rather limited.

tyre choice will be very important to help recommending an offset.

for rears to my knowledge from my own research but not experience

18x9.5+30 with a 245 unsure of profile this is what joeyjoejoejeojeojeoejoejoejoejoejoe i think is running on the rear this is a good balance of good fitment and nice stance

18x9.5+18 i think is possible if your willing to run like 215 or 225 tyre someone on here is running this width on the rear the tyre should tuck back into the guards but i'm not 100% with this

hopefully this gives you a better idea until someone with better knowledge that can guide you

The koya driftek looks insane.

Though you can have a look into enkei rims. I got some on my 33, their Rp01's. went for 17's with 235 width tyres all round.

Lightweight but strong rims.

If not, i'd take those dirftek ones

Yer the driftek is a tough looking rim. i think they may only come in up to 17 inch though. at this stage i would still like to stick with 18s.

Im quiet happy to stretch some narrower tires over a 9 inch wide wheel lol.

Obviously car wont be at standard ride height though, so i dont know if ill get 9.5s in there

cant go wrong with volk te37's good luck finding original time attacks

yer they dont need to be time attacks, i will most likely get my rims powdercoated black if the rim i choose does not come in black.

just used the time attack pic cause they was black :dry:

EDIT: any one brought a set of 'SSR typeC' lately?? whats the cost on those puppies?

yes definatley no bigger than 18 inch and im not really after a deep dish rim. my car is a street car that will see maybe one or two track days a year. not a show car so therefore big shiny heavy dish wheels = fail

drifteks are avail in 18's :D

also that ammount of dish is less than 10kg a corner :(

i was told by the wheel shop i spoke to that they only came up to 17. ??

they gave me a price today for $350 a rim. that was for 17x9 at 35offset i think.

18x9 at 30 would be great. im after all black.

    • As far as I know, Infiniti stopped importing vehicles before 2020, even though they were still selling their stock for at least a year or 2 after that, they were older build years, therefore, you can import a 2020 400R, because you couldn't buy an AuDM 2020 built Q50 RS. As for insurance, you might need to go through one of the enthusiast insurance companies, they tend to insure a lot more grey import models than the mainstream insurers as Duncan mentioned.
    • loved seeing the zenvo on the a1 just after the hatfield tunnel i was the guy in the white van trying to egg you on it sounded awesome and those exhausts glowing red inside insane cheers for the thumbs up tim and tom.
    • So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.
    • Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.
    • So awesome! I love the RB with the exhaust on display.
