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!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
