scathing Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 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.

Shiv Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 i was looking at the shiney black koya's in 18s, they look hot but im liking the dish on the Work XD9 in the gunmetal or bronze in 18 x 10.0 atm 2 many hot rims out there to choose from Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/298886-what-rims-to-get-for-my-r32/page/2/#findComment-4973397 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scathing Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 (edited) 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: Edited December 7, 2009 by scathing Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/298886-what-rims-to-get-for-my-r32/page/2/#findComment-4974879 Share on other sites More sharing options...
R34 Sedan Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 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.

jakez88 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 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? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/WORK-WHEELS-XD9-SKY...=item439b925592 or cr kais for abit less. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/WORK-WHEELS-CR-KAI-...=item45ef85c603 or else check import monsters stock and j imports for sure with jap rims.

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.

Shiv Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 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.

Brandon Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Check out these wheels Work XD9 madbray (MBG) These are the latest finish to just come out ! 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.

scathing Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Your price of $1k may be a little high as even the obvious importer lists them at a discount to that figure. True, but that's offset by the fact that importers have to pay to ship them from Japan whereas the local retailers would not. But you are right in that $3k for an TE37 in 18" is a non starter given the current exchange rate I paid around $4K for mine about 2 years ago. It was before the bubble burst.
