Bah you guys don't think outside the square that's all - I love Meisters but you need to also think about the car the wheels are going on. I reckon these will suit the Cube very well.

The ones in these pics are 17x7s for reference's sake...

sooo ahhh when are these gonna be up for import?? haha love the shape!

i still say you shoulda gone with the 19" meisters. buuut, if you've already bought the wheels I might as well be supportive right? :3some:

Are they making 19s in 20-series profiles these days? ;)

Mine are 16x7+0 and 16x8+2 and since the guy didn't take them with the s13 when I sold it I got to keep them :)

chef or luke, do 16" longchamps come up often on the auctions? What's the going price?

Also, those rims could look pretty sweet once they have the cube dropped on it's rails on them :P

Was acutally going to get them all fixed up, either chromed or polished with the original black inserts

I've got an inbox full of people asking about the rims on ns, a few on sau, couple off eBay and carsales so I'm guessing there not easy to track down lol

lol well you'll all have to reserve judgement till you see them on the car!

I like them. Stretched tyres with a bit of a lowering job and they will look awesome on a black car.

kye, hold onto those, luke and i know someone who might be after a decent set of wheels soon.

if its Bernardi,dont worry about it. apparently that 180 was made of poo

in other news starlet almost complete, and 32gtr GMG has the perfect amount of metallic

    • I don't think the shuffle can damage the turbos. It only happens at low shaft speeds and loads. It's just annoying (to some people - others are tickled by the effect) and it quite possibly reduces spool performance a little bit.
    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.
