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?

    • Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?   
    • You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.
    • Run the piping how we all have for decades. Also the duel runners with the +T setup dramatically helps it gets on boost quicker. Yes, chase huge power it'll become a problem, but you're a long way off when you're already saying an aftermarket ECU is out of the budget. You also say NisTune as it's simple, and then immediately say it'll be painful, meaning... It won't be simple. It will likely cost you a lot more stuffing around with a Nistune, than just putting a Haltech or similar in.
    • I’ll order an afr gauge to keep an eye on it.  Then will get a haltech soon 
    • TD05 or maybe pulsar PSR2867r Gen 2?  id love a garret but it’s quite out the budget for now and I’m not chasing crazy power.    yeh fuel pump haven’t looked into but whatever works, kind of last on my list.    Nistune because it’s simple but Ik it’s a lot of pain especially as I’m auto +t with the whole seperate TCM etc still investigating that. Haltech id love but once budget tight for now atleast.    finally the reason I’m trying for a plenum instead of the stock intake is I already have a standard Intercooler mounted etc. so the ports are on both sides so trying to not have to go over the clutch fan radiator etc. trying to find a good deal return flow if I don’t than this will do for now I guess. btw any ideas with that, apparently some people have to cut blades to reduce it from hitting the Intercooler piping over the radiator ? Thanks
