There are rims out there, you just need to know what you want and know how to find it.

Ditch searching from Tempe. What's your budget?

Something along the lines of these suit your criteria of 18 inch 4 stud.

18x8.5J+29

18x9.5J+29

Alternatively if you're dedicated you could do the turbo brake upgrade, and have better brakes with a larger variety of 18" wheels to choose from.

Finding 4x114.3 rims isn't all that hard ...

Finding 4x114.3 pattern wheels to clear turbo brakes on the other hand is pretty hard ...

im doing the turbo brake upgrade on my R32 using the R33 gts-t calipers and rotors redrilled to 4x114.3 but ya need some huge offset wheels in order to clear the big calipers or ya need like 25-30mm spacers to fit them

oh yeah, importmonster.com!

Rip off, their fees are ridiculous. Trying to search on that site doesn't show you half of what's on there most the time too. Using a translation of auctions.yahoo.co.jp is the way to go, and then get Jesse Streeter to get them for you.

thanks guys,

i might try some of the places around newy, bob jane and all them.

my budget is about 1000-1500, im only an apprentice so cant afford all that much.

i have been thinkin about the 5 stub conversion and brakes and that, but a) i havent got the money for them b) i wouldnt know where to start to find them or put them on and c) this is my daily drive so it cant be off the road for more than the weekend.

i have a good idea of the style i want, these r on tempe tyres, but r for turbo'd lines.

look around for multi studs so if you ever do decide to upgrade brakes or sell its win win

yep..

you'll probably find most of the better size/offset rims are multistud anyway.. both the sets i've had that clear 33 brakes were.

Hank scorpio- where can i find Work and Volt rims, i have seen Volt rims on some of my mates cars in sydney, they dont look to bad.

as for a picture, the missus reset the computer for some reason and she only saved her pictures, so i havent got around to takin any more, im pretty 100% sure it is the same as Line 3's skyline, but a light silver colour

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
