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!

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
