Here is a pic of the rims I bought about a month ago. I bought them second hand (not a mark on them) from another 32 owner. They are 17" x 7.5" Koya K-55 machined chrome, not sure where they are made (i think japan). They also come in chrome chrome. The studs around the outside are gold colour. I thought that it might clash with the gun grey, buy they ended up looking sweet.

I have always wanted white 5 or 6 spoke racing rims tho, i think they look hot with grey.

Makaveli - what colour is ur 32?

Here's some wheels I dig...

Google them!

Buddy Club P1 QF

Racing Hart 6 spokes.

Sparco NS-2 Python

Volk Gr.C

Not such a big fan of Enkei but I do like the Enkei TS-6 as seen in NFS-U.

Now this game has maybe 30-40 sets of rims and they are all pretty much horrendous.

T.

uh - ROH DRIFT R's come in 17'' 18'' and 19'' and they are sold at any ROH certified dealer - maybe Bob Jane T Marts? It dosen't say on the ROH site go to www.ROH.com.au there at the bottom og the HTML one :D

I love many of the Jap rims, Volk/AVS etc etc... but they are all so pricey. If you have the $3-4000 new then good luck to you, otherwise you are still looking at around $1500 on up for 2nd hand.

As a rule i dont like chrome rims on any Skyline, but if you are after a new rim, then id say look for some thin 5 spoke 17" rims, then depending on cars colour get thenm painted white or graphite.

I think the cars ride height can make good wheels look ordinary, so as lond as your car is lowered with some nice larger diam rims then there are plenty that look good.

Unless you want to rip off inner guards and run spacers, and perhaps still have rubbing then id be sticking with 17s, much easier to find a rim that fits properly, still look goods in the 32s wheel arches, and cheaper meaning you can possibly afford a nicer style of rim.

I think the best value rim around for the R32 is the HR Racing AVS Model 5 look-a-like. There a shadow chrome wheel, go for somehting like $1650 new with rubber for 18s.

    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches. 
    • Welcome!  Can't go wrong with a Stag.
    • Looks good. Nice height.
    • Hey all, a little help from the Stagea hive mind plz.. I'm days away from buying either a 2002 Stagea 250tRS AR-X Four, premium leather, power seats and all the old switches etc that go with it, or a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO, pov pack, cloth seats etc, with coil overs, sports zorst, comes with original zorst and suspension and parts. (I think I've got the models right?) Both are VQ25DET, have 160000kms, both straight no rust both with $2000+ in recent servicing receipts, both ride on aftermarket 18" rims. The Aero has a replaced turbo as well. I like the cool factor of the Aero car but the AR-X has never been modified. Neither have been driven hardly at all in the last 5 years. Any thoughts on which one or does it come down to personal preference? davemoto
