Item:

*Genuine Watanabe Racing Wheels, gunmetal grey with polished lip - 4x100 - 16x7" - +38 offset. Lightweight and very strong track wheels.

*Barely used Yokohama Advan AO48 Semi Slicks - 195/50/16.

Location: Chirnside Park, VIC

Item Condition:

*All wheels in very good condition for their age. All have some gunmetal finish chipped/scratched off, would suit repainting for a fussy buyer however I never bothered as the wheels still look great. Very minor gutter rash on two wheels, not very noticeable at all.

*All tyres are barely used. They have seen less than 100km of street driving and one motorkhana day, therefore they've barely seen one heat cycle. They've been in storage for 6 months covered in plastic.

Reason for selling: I wouldn't be using them again for a while so rather than having them sitting around I'd rather free up some money.

Price and price conditions: $2,200 ono for both wheels and tyres. Will separate:

$900 ono for wheels.

$1300 ono for tyres.

Extra Info: Pick-up or postage at buyer's expense via courier.

Massive price drop - $1000. This price is NOT negotiable. This will be the last price drop before I just keep them for future use. $575 saving over the new price for tyres that barely touched the road.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
