For Sale:

Fabulous Forged Expand Racing R wheels in 19" X 10.5" +20 (R33 & R34 GTR offset)

http://www.fabulous.co.jp/products/wheel/expand_racing/

As you can see these wheels retail for over 100,000 JYP each; more than any Rays wheels in similar dimensions

I know what you are thinking - the brand name 'Fabulous' wheels does sound a bit 'sissy', but the quality and workmanship is absolutely stunning. they must be seen to be appreciated. I know a thing or two about wheels since I am self confessed wheel whore and have owned over half a dozen sets of top shelf wheels for my beloved GTR.

Condition: brand new. Tyres were mounted in Japan to protect the chrome finish during transport. The rims had never been fitted to a car. The bolt holes are unscratched!

NOTE: Tyres are NOT road worthy and cannot be used on road.

Wheel caps included.

Bought from Yahoo Japan through Import Monster. It was an impulsive buy as I got carried away with an online bidding war where winning the auction became the focus.

Weight: 20.5 kg with tyre mounted! No heavy chromes here.

Price: $3400

What a great set of wheels! wow! makes me water in the mouth.

Surely will go to a new home soon. GL with the sale - these won't last long.

I weighed one of these up and it was a kg lighter in this fitment with the tyre, than an 18 x 9 Volk GT-C with a 265/35/18 tyre on it.

Style and light weight, can't go wrong. These are sitting in my shop for anyone who wants to come check them out :D

Cheers Aaron!

See the wheels in metal at Import Monster HQ, and while you are there you can also check out all the other tasty JDM bits on display!

Hey guys,

Forged goodness. Willing to let these go for $2500 asap....

They are brand new, they are unique, they are very light and perfect for show or track alike.

I might try them on my car and see how they look??

Cheers

Matt

these wheels are famous for VIP cars, have you tried those VIP forums?

I had 19" fabulous profound II on my bimmer, and they are just amazing, for those who don't know about these wheels, better do your research quick and grab this bargain. $2500 is hella cheap for brand new.

Bump for 2011!

I reckon these particular Fabulous wheels are 'far from' the VIP look as one would expect. From my point of view, it will look very unique on a GTR.

Check out these photos taken by Newera @ Skyline Festival 2010, the offset is just about perfect and don't forget they ARE FORGED (lightweight)! I am tempted to just keep them...if only I had enough garage space.....

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
