elbee111 Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 OK, I am a little peeved with some comments regarding this pic that was originally posted as part of a thread entitled "Is this worth buying" posted in the VIC section. How many studs do you see. OK, I see three as well. Question is.... How many studs can be on this wheel? Note: This wheel supposedly belongs to an R32 GTR. I cannot believe that this is a pic of a 5 stud pattern. Please tell me if I am wrong. El Bee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver-Arrowz Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 It looks like a R32 gtr alright (thus 5 stud). brake calipers look r32 gtr, and so does the guard (pumped out a little) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akeenan Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 HAHAHA yep my answers still the same as before 5 studs.. I can see elbee11 buying this piece of shit just to see the stud pattern of the wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rezz Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 Whats the commotion about? Of course it`s bloody 5 stud. I mean... *cough*... there`s 2 studs hidden coz of the "dish" of the center section of the wheel. Bugger the 3 studs... a more pressing matter is why is this thread in existence???

Silver-Arrowz Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 If it were a 4 stud, then it would be a non-turbo skyline, thus it would have the 2 pot caliper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbee111 Posted October 25, 2003 Author Share Posted October 25, 2003 Oh well Looks like I'll have to throw a coupla bucks in the idiot jar again. Looks can be deceiving. Case closed eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51jay Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 From the spacing of the studs you can see it looks like a 4 stud wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinks Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 could it be a 4 stud wheel/disc with upgraded 4 pot calipers? I find it hard to believe 2 wheel studs can be hiding under the lip. 2 of the 3 visible look like they're directly opposite each other, the spacing is too wide IMO. I assume this is on an auction site, otherwise i'd be asking for better pics. I'd be wary but if it's sold as a GTR and you don't get a GTR, you'd want your money back.

Duncan Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 I'm voting for 5 stud, those nuts are very deep in the wheel, and I don't think the 2 you can see are directly opposite each other. my 2yen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NA_R33 Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 id have to say 4 stud from the way i see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strutto Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 5 Stud! Based on the angle between where the nut countersinkings meet the edge of the rim and the fact that it is a 7 spoke... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 hey elbee111, I've finally put 2+2 together, you don't want to buy that car, do you? Its in pretty bad condition for anything but a race car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 voting for 4! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rezz Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 Originally posted by strutto 5 Stud! Based on the angle between where the nut countersinkings meet the edge of the rim and the fact that it is a 7 spoke... strutto is right, the position of the nut countersinkings in relation to the spokes clearly shows it is indeed a 5 stud rim. Can you "4 stud guys" tell us why you say it`s a 4 stud rim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 i don't know, from the pic, it's like you kinda guess there is only space behind the hidden bit for only one more. I could be wrong, that's why I voted but not formally say it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
