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

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
