Those rims are tight. I like them. I have 18" rims. How much bigger can i go legally?

and where do i buy rims similar? I like chrome, especially if it stands out and is flashy.

I bought mine from Import Monster www.importmonster.com.au

As to how much bigger you can go legally, I'm not too sure. But there are a couple of very knowledgeable people in that regard on this forum.

Yes, but the Latinos and African Americans do not put them on imported Japanese cars.

As a suggestion, have a look at the rims on my car. They are chrome. 19" with deep dish and staggered. They look fantastic IMHO. I have had lots of compliments on them, but I have also had some people on this forum say that they don't like them simply because they are chrome.

But you can definitely do chrome with style.

The poster above with the pic of the white sedan with the chrome rims. They look fantastic also.

Good luck with your search!!!

Those wheels on the sedan are not chrome, they are forged wheels.

The rules can be found on the RTA web site here.

As for the wheels, they're hideous. As a general rule of thumb, if it's made by Vault then it's going to look tacky and cheap. If they're sold at Tempe, you can be sure that the offsets will not suit a V35.

Those things do look like hubcaps. The little bit of dish will help, but it's not going to offset the size of the spokes (fat spokes are a classic hubcap technique, since they hide the steel wheel underneath) and a lot of the "hubcap" look comes from the really cheap chroming that they do on these wheels. It doesn't have the bright and deep look of real metal, but more the "painted on plastic" finish you find on hubcaps (or Hot Wheels cars). Then in a few months, the chrome starts to cloud and they start to look even cheaper.

There are some quality chrome wheels (the Weds Kranze LXZ's on my mate's S14 would look sweet on a V), but unfortunately they're expensive.

If you put those rims on your not gonna impress anyone. Let's face it, as much as we would like impress ourselves, we also want others to go WOW! when they look at them instead of things like "who the f**k put chromies on a skyline!!?!"

Think i just regurgitated the ribs i ate last night which is a good and a bad thing. Can still taste the smokey BBQ sauce yummm

Anyways, there are plenty of quality "chrome" wheels to choice from. Its actually polished, not chrome but i won't get picky:

What style are you after though? Dish? Concavity, fat spokes, thin spokes, chicks with dicks etc etc

But if you remotely liked those tempe tyre specials that you posted in the OP, i think youre beyond help buddy

I am sorry to say that I agree with most of the people here, BIG CHROMIES of that nature do not have a place on a skyline

I have a set of Work VS SS on mine, chrome rim with powdercoated centers, and they look great.

Iamhe77 has a set of Nismo (I believe) GT5', all chrome on his m35 stag, they suit the car,

As for the rims you showed us they would probably suit an old Monaro more than a Skyline.

If you like chrome..

If you like those rims in your 1st post, buy them.

A set like these look 1000% better

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
