Hey, this is definitely an issue of personal taste, but I don't reckon fully chrome wheels suit at all...a little chrome (as in the rim outer) looks cool but any more doesn't work for me. As for rim design - I reckon 5 spoke wheels, standard or aftermarket really suit the R32.

Here's the wheels I have on my '32:

They are 17" Longchamp XR-V, some obscure Japanese performance brand. Mine have gunmetal inners with chrome outer rim...looks really nice on my gunmetal 'line!

Oh yeah, wide rims look great - make sure your rear rims are deep dish, ya gotsta have dish!! ;) Trust me it looks crazy!

Here's a pic of the rims on my car:

Your car looks sweet, RaseR!

Why can't Australian wheel makers make cool wheels like them? Huh? Why?

Is there some unwritten law somewhere saying that Australia has to produce ghey wheels? (I know about Drift R...)

Hey Rezz, thanx mate!!

Those wheels were one huge factor in persuading me to buy that car!

But yeah I totally agree - not many really nice wheels sold in Australia....Most of the time they are either elcheapo HSV imitations or 'fully sik' chrome stylez. Very few decent rims with any dish on 'em either...damn it, when will they learn!? ;)

LOL - this being said, there are probably heaps I don't know about!

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
