yep they are superlites and can be bought from any bob jane outlet

sizes are 15x7 15x8 15x10 16x7 16x8 can choose offsets from +4 to -4 on the x7's and 8's and -27 or something on the 10's

Thanks Guys , there is a wealth of knowledge on this site and im glad to be a part of it , it will really help in the future as i am planning to build this car in a bosozoku / shakotan japanese style i will start a build thread as soon as i have sourced all the parts

thanks again

:huh:

yea as soon as i discovered the shakotan /bosozoku style i had to do it minus the 8ft exhaust of course

my plan is as follows:

10inch rims 4 inches out the gaurds

overfenders

vented bonnet

huge twin pipes

large oil cooler (with pipes through the grill)

chin spoiler

and of course the hang ring on back bumper

iam budgeting around 4000 to do it properly

any input would be great....

ok so after a trip to bob jane t mart

i have discovered they do sell the rims i want

15x10 -26 (which if my calculation are correct, puts them just over 3inches out the stock gaurds ?)

with

215 60 r15 tyres (i was informed i should be putting inner tubes in with this much stretch any thoughts?)

so the damage all up will be

$1560

for me...its a Watanabe RS Type 8 spoke.....

http://www.rs-watanabe.co.jp/index2.htm....you can custom order from the manufacturer on the site....

i used to owned it to my KE70 Corolla..but here is the sample

215s on a 10" rim wouldn't be THAT much stretch I don't think mate? I run 225s on a 17x9.5 rim atm and it's pissweak in regards to the amount of stretch it could potentially handle. course i'm not factoring in the amount of sidewall you're playing with.

I reckon keep up your tyre pressures and you should be alright. tyre shops would know that type of shit though.

good for you anyway, zoku-cefiro is an AWESOME idea. I was the same when I first saw my taste of bosozoku stuff, more along the lines of the VIP style like that crown (i think it is). I've been trying to find a decent price on 15x10 steel bands so I can have just stock steely centres welded in. trouble is I'm not sure if i should put them on my ceffy or if i should put them on my 910 bluebird. decisions decisions...

either way. keep us up on the progress bro, it sounds like it's going to be a sweet looking sedan! here's a personal question though....

Are you considering *giggling* sharknosing it?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
