Ok, I'll be the first one to say, DON'T DO IT!

Those 'bling' wheels in my opinion don't belong on a car of this calibre, this car deserves the best motorsport wheel and it's hard to pass on the TE37. the work wheels will be considerably heavier and you will definitely notice your car feeling more sluggish.

This car is the epitome of a hardcore street/track car and in my opinion needs lightweight forged monoblock goodness.

I'd say you may also have issues getting them over the AP's aswell.

Another thing I don't like about these meisters is that they use the size spokes as the 18'' version, only the outer part of the rim is larger and in my opinion does not give the full 20'' look.

Anyway this my opinion and many may disagree, just thought I'd give my 2c worth......

P.S if you do decide to go ahead Matt I've got first dibs on the TE's!!!!

TE37s are getting overdone these days imho plus meisters look sick on 34s, proof:

but matt, to run wheels that wide with such low offsets will require some serious tyre stretch+camber to get in the guards and considering the look youve gone for with the car, i dont think theyd suit. the above car has 10.5s rears (unsure of offset but doesnt look like -6)

however, points will be achieved for toughness

I know what your saying Jack but this car doesn't see the track so increase in wheel weight not a huge issue IMO... sluggish? with 400rwkw!? it might not feel quite as sharp but won't be that much of a difference

I agree with Pete, everyone has TE's, can't hurt to try something a bit different

he has the wider Z tune guards up front so just the rears are a concern... the rears in that pic could be close to -6... heaps of dish there

can anyone confirm what offset needed to fit 10.5s on the rear of a 34GTR?

Personally, I love the tough look of the Work Meister S1.

But I certainly understand Jack's point regarding unsprung weight etc etc.

As mentioned TE37s, CE28s, LMGT4s (all of which I have owned) and other popular Volk Racing wheels are so overdone on BNR34s.

I am a wheel whore, therefore i am always looking at other exciting wheel matching for my car.

These were the original pics that got me hooked on the Meisters. This particular set was traded on this forum in 2008/09 and changed hands twice as far as I know. The set for sale in Sydney may very well be the same set of wheels transferring ownership again...

Looks almost Tonka (toy) tuff!

As always, I appreciate the input

In agreeance with Pistol Pete, When i went for the SSR SP1R's on mine i had the choice of those and about 3 different spec'd TE's. Although i absolutely love the TE's they are getting pretty common same with GTC's and CR Kais are getting around a bit more. Yes all very sweet and tough rims but with that size and off set you can't go wrong!

Just got car back from Racepace. Verdict: I like the way the car handles now!

Boring photo of Hicas unit removed. Note 5kg weight reduction.

Custom Racepace Hicas bar,retaining OEM tie-rods. Racepace logo is a nice touch.

Again, it's nothing exciting. Note 4" exhaust sits very close to rear differential housing.

Just curious Matt but how many bonnet's do you have? Ive counted two R tune nismos and a vspec 2 bonnet so far. Add that to your wheel collection and you must have a double bay garage for just storing all the gear to mix and match the appearance of your car! Im hanging out to see your "cleaning out the garage" sale thread in the parts section.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
