I have two sets of AVS rims, both the same sizes.

One set of gold AVS Model 6 wheels (latest style), and a set of silver Model 5 wheels (older style).

Im looking at selling one set now, and leaving the other set on the car for when i sell the car next year. So wanting to know what rim has the broadest appeal so that i can leave them on the car for when i sell it.

Thoughts ppl? I dont have a digi cam so these photos courtesy of other ppl are the best i can do.

Gold Model 6

Silver Model 5

I like the silver ones better myself.  I think they give it a classier look whereas the gold ones look more like you're out to do some bruising.

Just my humble opinion.

Actually, I prefer the gold ones, but wouldn't you get more selling them seperately then with the car?

Hey Roy,

Keep your model6's cause they're the same as mine! Look much better than the 5's. Looking at the pic they look like 17's? If you were to sell them seperately you'd get alot more for them. I bought mine 2nd hand and they were NOT cheap!

Also, whats the width of your goldies?

P.S: Sorry for bothering you about the intercooler last fortnight, i got it all sorted ;)

Fronts are 17 x7, rears 17 x 8. They are a good fit on an R32 GSTt, i imagine your 200SX could swallow a much bigger wheel ;)

I like both, though i suspect my Model 6s would look better if they were white against the silver bodywork...no need to apologise, wasnt any trouble, good to hear you got the problem sorted.

heeey that's my pic! :D

y'know, if you'd just showed pics of 2 types of rims, i would have said the silver ones straight away. But on your car, i like the gold ones...they actually made me think how nice your car looked, instead of it looking the same as every other silver R32 :)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
