Has to make a comment about everyone's wheels.

Have you ever stopped to think...maybe the owner likes them?

[krzysiu]

+1

but it all comes down to the primary use of the car.

If its just being driven as a daily, 200kw-300kw wont do much good in peak hour traffic. Hence they spend money on cosmetics.

or you can spend it on both still need suspension tho. Apparently when I launch my sideskirt almost touches the ground and my rim gets hidden under my guards haha

so... the owner has aids, and not the wheel?

If the owner likes the wheels, then that's his / her choice.

sure you can do both but its the way they start which defines the primary use of the car. If you were serious on track work lets say, you would spend money first on proper suspension setup (more than coil overs) than the way the car looks. Rb ryan mentioned preference on functionality as he has a diff view on the primary use for his car. Hella flush may look nice but the sacrifises are not worth it. This is an opinion after all so each to their own.

Yea I'm with you on that hellaflush is for show. Chuck the car on the track with 10 inch wide rims running 215's with massive camber n see how How it handles.

not really... just stating my opinion.... heaps of people on 86dc rag on my ksev's wheels if it makes you feel any better

I'd say it'd handle better than a car with 7" wide wheels on a narrower wheelbase, a higher centre of gravity, tyres running at a lower tyre pressure with a lot of flex in the sidewall, and no camber or toe adjustments reuslting in poor cornering.

but apparently everyone in melbourne drives their skylines ready to jump on the track at the drop of a pin.

you'll find most guys who are concerned with stance and fitment pay more attention to suspension settings, so if they go on a track will change to better wheels and most definitely a realignment/readjustment of suspension.

that's what we do anyways, every single time we go to a track event, properly using a laser assisted alignment rack. how often do you "omg hellaflush is so shit on a track" arsemonkeys check your suspension?

[funkymonkey]

in other news...

we need one of these to transport our hellaflush cars to the track to get pwnd by sunken battleships.

myth busted

[Basti]

sif shan. i check my suspension all the time, and none of it has gone missing yet. dont generalise man

[alr33x]

that truck is tough..

sau is soo far behind in the styling scene honestly people let the hovercrafts go.. they wont be coming back

[paulr33]

you may find a lot of sau guys are intrested in mega kits with rims etc

just basic looks are ok, they seem to be more keen on increasing power and acceleration

nothing wrong with that, im not overlly a fan of all show and no go but your go needs to be relevent to your intended purpose ie, for me i dont need 300rwkw doest mean ill pay out on ppl with that, i prefer a complete package, looks + required amount of go.

plus i just dont like when people post bs about stretched tyres and blah blah

oh and not to mention standard r33's would be one of the ugliest cars nissan created

Ok I get the point.

Haha!

maybe I should stick some cards in my rear rims to see if I qualify as being 'hellaflush'.

BTW, spacers: aids or acceptable? I know quite a few people who run them, my front rims sit in a little far (probably +35 not +22 like the rears), and people keep telling me to get them, but I always thought they were dangerous and for the gays.

[alr33x]

you need hubcentrics there ok i dont use them, i had them and didnt feel the same but heaps off ppl use them no problems so no they arent aids best advice is to get the right size/offset from the outset.

I got spacers in the rear.

It came with the car from Japan.

Save you from buying a staggerd set of wheels.
