I know everyone has seen this kind of thread before - Wheels good or bad?


Recommended Posts

I'm need new tyres and thought, what the hell i'll invest in some rims too. Now i want something light and japanese, preferably bronze and not too pricy. 18x8 and 18x9, 235/40's and 265/40's. So far the leading contender is these Black Racings.

I like the Buddy Club P1 Racings, but they don't come in 18's... and the Buddy Club P2's are about 1200 a rim!. I've got a silver R33 (like everyone else!) what do people think?

Any other suggestions? I want to keep it under $4K

They're nice wheels, but i think they are more suited to say a R32, or 180sx... You tend to see them more on those sorts of cars. I'm not sure how well they would suit a 33 gts-t...just my thoughts anyhow.

Those Black Racing wheels looks sick. I was thinking of getting them when I purchased my wheels. Especially the bronze ones. But how light are they compare to the P1s??

Is there a big difference between the 18 inches and the 17 inches? Like beside the looks and the size, 18 inches rubbers is going to cost you more and I got told 17 inches can make accelation a bit quicker.

Damn I can't believe P1 Racing II drop so much in price!! I should of waited a bit longer!!

Either ways I think the B/Racing and the P1s looks good. Have you seen what B/Racing rims will look like on a R33? I think the B/Racing looks a bit like the Buddy Club P1 QF.

Inark, skylineakt, thanks for the links.

I think that if the price is right, I will go for the Buddy Club P1 II's. Snowman, how long ago was that you were quoted for them? And where is hypertech?

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
