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

RAYS Engineering advertises an 18x7.5 TE37 on their web site for ￥81900 each, which is around AUD$1000 a rim with the current exchange rate.

If you can land them in Australia for AUD$1K under their home-country RRP (I'll assume you're planning on dodging Customs Duty and GST) I'd love to find out where from.

thanks guys for the info, it really helped

god theres some porn-O-grapic rims out there! offt!

im gonna look around for some second hand jap rims as mentioned, thats a good idea!

i was only gonna put 18s on cos i thought it would look good,

but if 17's are better, then ill go 17's - it doesnt faise me

i just want phat offset and rims in the rear

i keep leaning towards the shadow alloy and dark bronze, they are hot!!! but the theme on my car is black on black on black

hard decision!!!

I know some people hate cheap-brand wheels, but the two shortlisted wheels for my SW20 (if I bought new) were:

Koya Drifteks

Lenso D1Rs.

You already know what the Drifteks look like. The D1Rs look like this:

They should give you a pretty nice amount of dish (the spoke does curve in near the barrel) and if you're willing to run camber, streched tyres and massaged guards they do come in GT-R offsets.

Even without, cars with as shitty offsets as S2000s can get good dish:

Yeah, your definately better off with 17"s, to many people go large diameter rims just for the hell of it, and they actually perform worse.

You need a certain amount of rubber, running on rubber bands just doesn't perform well at all.

woah..could not believe that you said you wanna spend 2-3k on wheels and u wanted bsa te37 copies? also the lack of jap rim recommendations lol. just doesn't sound right?

u could buy 18x10 +18 xd9's and powder coat them black for about 2500?

Your price of $1k may be a little high as even the obvious importer lists them at a discount to that figure.

But you are right in that $3k for an TE37 in 18" is a non starter given the current exchange rate. Other of the Volk rims are doable within that budget.

I would be happier paying a bit more than that for the real thing than paying for a knock off.

at first, i was looking at getting the xd9 18 x 10 in matte bronze but the 10' wide wouldnt fit on the rear ( as it is a GTST with GTR front guards) without alot of guard mod, adjustable camber arms and better coils

and i didnt want the 18 x 9 because i wanted the dish of the 18 x 10.

and i was also looking at the BSA replica TE37s only because i never thought id actually come into reach of a genuine set of ray te37s.

Check out these wheels Work XD9 madbray (MBG) These are the latest finish to just come out !post-68456-1260257006_thumb.jpgpost-68456-1260257039_thumb.jpg

That is Colin's. Look really good in real life too.

Shiv: You might wanna check if your car will fit those offsets. Numbers look like a GTR offset to me. If so, you'll need to roll some guards or do something to make them fit.

True, but that's offset by the fact that importers have to pay to ship them from Japan whereas the local retailers would not.

I paid around $4K for mine about 2 years ago. It was before the bubble burst.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
