im trying to find rims for my black r32 gtst

and im not sure what ones i want

ive got the black theme going on at the moment, black car, dark tints, black head lights.. so i need black rims

so im heading towards satin black

i want 18 inch and hoping for a fatter rim in the rear

i was looking at the bsa replica TE37's (satin black with red lip) but apparently they dont have a fatter rear rim

im looking at spending around 2500k - 3k

any help would be awesome, as this is the right place to ask

so can you guys post up some rims of what you reckon would look good

Thanks Ash

for 2.5-3k mate i'd be looking into some quality second hand japanese rims - as apposed to brand new copy rims

keep an eye on the forums, or if that fails there are a few brokers who will be able to help you with yahoo jap :laugh:

I dont think the GTC will suit 32 at all. Reason being GTC looks too fat for any sleek cars. Prefer multi spokes (more than 5) with dish for sleek cars. Look at Colin's 32GTR with XD9. :laugh:

I'll pimp this one for ya Tristan.

Oh yea. For that price. Dont bother with copies. Just get 2nd hand stuff and be on the look out on the for sale section. I got my LMGT4 for 3.4k with tyres.

Quoted for truth!

Here is an example from Yahoo Japan

600x450-2009031900010.jpg

18" x 8" +40 Front

18" x 9" +35 Rear

Estimated total price delivered to my work in Warriewood via sea (assuming it doesn't go any higher than minimum bid...) is $2,633.68

Stronger, lighter and hold their value longer than anything from Tempe ;)

EDIT

I probably should add that I found these via Import Monster, I am not a import broker :laugh:

party time! :laugh:

thats the idea!

however i'd argue those widths/offests aren't baller enough ;)

gtc's on r32 = epic fail

work meisters on r32 = epic fail.

black te37s on r32 = major win!!!

volk ce28's look phat too.

for the amount of coin you are looking at spending, i think you could easily get some second hand if not new jap rims.

and on a 32 17's look big if you have low profile 40 series tyres.. saving you some money over 18's.

Like I've recommended to anyone thats on a slightly lower budget. Get the Gramlight 57d. Price isnt bad for a Ray. But if I'm you, I'll keep a look out for import monster's website/post or just the forsale section.

For $3K why not get used TE37s of any colour, and then powdercoat them in black? Hopefully you can then find some in a proper offset and width, rather than the weaksauce ones that replica wheels inevitably come in to fit FWD econoboxes.

I've seen quite a few on the Yahoo! Japan auctions.

For $3k you can buy genuine & new - import them but be prepared to wait a while to receive them.

Rays CE28N in bronze or titanium silver.

CE28N:

OR

Rays RE30 in any of the three colours available - bronze, chrome silver or (for another 5000Yen - ouch) formula silver with a diamont-cut rim.

party time! :blink:

i agree bro... to many skylines with shit wheels to many with pimp wheels and fail offset / width and a very little selection with fitment.

for a gtst

go a 9.5-10 on the rear. 9.5 with a 225 or a 10 with 235 say like -1 camber with some guard work = hellaflush

9-9.5 up front with a nice offset like +15-17 with say a 215 to 225 will look good to.

for your 2-3k you can easily do that

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
