Where To Buy R34 Gtr Rims? Recommendations?

[KR4-GTR]

Hi all,

I've been searching the last 8+ weeks for a set of R34 GTR rims, but am yet to find a set which are not filled with rash.

I have had a WTB ad up and have had only 1 offer come through - and that set obviously was not for me.

Does anybody know anyone who is either selling a set, or can anyone recommend any shops other than just jap, import monster and UAS - as they are out of stock.

I'm in Sydney so local shops / people would be best, but i'm even willing to have them posted.

Would prefer a set in good conditon and with rubber if possible. Ready to fork out good $ for them too.

Any suggestions would be appreciated as im running out of ideas here.

Cheers!

If you get real desperate, call Nissan

[jpcdanny]

japanese import spares in sa have a set 08 82660212

[D-Spec]

Hit up some Yahoo Jap auctions

If you get real desperate, call Nissan

A panel shop last week was quoted $3300 each from Nissan to fix a damaged r34 gtr

It needed 3. No wonder the repair bill was over $30000 in spare parts alone.

Pm sent about wheels

[KR4-GTR]

pm replied cheers mate!

and thanks all for the suggestions, i'll give them a shot (apart from calling nissan haha!)

[KR4-GTR]

still looking for a set, anyone have any more ideas?

on a side note, i have had a few people PM asking how much i was prepared to pay.

i have $2000+/- ready to spend on a good condition set with good rubber.

obviously this depends on rim condition, type of rubber and % remaining, if they include centre caps, location - etc.

have had a few new offers come through, but at present - im still waiting for the right set / seller to come around.

i'm even currently looking at getting a set sent over from kuala lumpur, but thats only if worst comes to worst.

please PM me if you have any ideas! thanks!

Contact Import Monster - i know Aaron has 3 sets there... being one of them was a set i sold him

They are also a forum trader

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

Darron at Just Jap may be able to help.

[KR4-GTR]

cheers guys, i'm actually thinking of just buying a r34 gtr.

[mr33gts4]

didnt you just buy that r33 gtr? and you're already moving forward?

[KR4-GTR]

Nope, already had it almost 3 years!

[Turbo Piston]

Just get the R34 man!

Ive got rims that you would want - but not willing to part with them. They are mint, with only one slightly scratched

[KR4-GTR]

Just get the R34 man!

We'll see mate

If the right offer to sell is received then i'm ready to go ahead, however i'm also more than happy to keep her!

All the hard work is done and she is ready to be enjoyed, so i'll do just that until the right buyer comes along! Every time I take her for a drive she still puts a huge smile on my face. one like this --> haha

So to summarise, Dont rule me out - i'm not anywhere close to getting over my car and i'm still in the market for a set of sexy 34 GTR rims for her!

Called about 10 shops around sydney thismorning - no joy.

Added a nice big fat notification to my signature on here though. Ohhh yeh!

[SS8_Gohan]

can't believe you can't find a decent set! amazing... it seems like they pop up all the time in the for sale threads

not much help, but i got mine from Aaron (import monster/rampant imports) - if you've gone 8 weeks already, what's a few more via the auctions

[KR4-GTR]

Yeah i'm hanging out, not a necessity but it will be nice when i do find a set!

Just a poor time to buy i guess, haha - a few months ago there were a stack of sets available, just my luck as soon as i want some - almost NOTHING!

[SS8_Gohan]

you sure you want them anyway? i don't think they'd fill the guards enough on the 33, unless you run spacers

[TaKz]

yer they wont fill the guards and would need spacers!!

why not just get some 2nd hand jap rims for that price with appropriate offsets and width something like i duno 18x10?

[KR4-GTR]

Yeah, they dont really fill the guards on a 34 GTR that well either though haha! What you think?

I have the same width rims (x9) on my 33 at the moment, would consider spacers, but have seen them with them on there without and they dont look too bad! I just like genuine stuff!

Was looking at a set of 19' GTC's in gunmetal but then id have to drop the car and roll the guards - etc. I'm trying to keep it pretty original and will also probably be holding on to my stock R33 GTR rims.
