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

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
