for the ultimate jap racing bling check out the KEY!S wheels. http://www.cardome.com/keys/op03.shtml

I'm rocking one in the 33 GTR atm. it sure is 'out there' but feels great and I am a massive wanker anyway so the little stars stitched into the rim don't bother me...

yeah baby.

Which boss kit did you use and where did you buy from?

they are the same bolt pattern as nardi wheels. there are only basically 2 types in the world of aftermarket road car wheels nardi type or momo type. all other wheels fall into one of those. most boss kits these days will fit both. they are both 6 bolt and just have a slightly different pcd and different pattern. the only other types are basically open wheeler or go kart wheels.

the easy way to tell. if it has a bolt on the centre line above and below the horn button it's momo type. if it has no bolt on the centre line (like the key!s wheel) but instead has 2 bolts above and below the horn button then it's nardi type.

i bought the KEY!S wheel in japan.

It certainly is brov, it is the new version of that exact wheel, except it is all black and the grip itself is fully leather

here is the link to where I bought mine.

let me know if you want a pic of it in car.

I bought this little puppy,,,. I'm going to buy a really cheap rubbish one to interchange so I never put my dirty grubby hands on it.

I know how you feel Lol.

I put my Nismo on and I wanted to leave the little shower cap type plastic surround it came in on !

Did you put that bad boy in your 33 or the Radical ?

I'm sure you know this but with velour/felt type wheels if you don't use gloves the acid in your skin will deteriorate the surround super fast.

That Nismo one is pretty damn cool mate !!!. e-bay has some really cheap rubbish ones on there so I'm thinking I'll buy another quick release and use it to move the car around.

Definately going on the Skyline,,,the Radical has a very sweet little number (260mm) with a real race car release. I have some pics I think,,,yes here you go

The 2nd pic shows the spacer I had to make so I could get the wheel closer to me. I was getting wrist soreness very badly and after speaking to Malcolm Oastler at bathurst he suggested I do it. Fixed my problem straight away.

I never drive with out gloves,,but it's good reminding for anyone that doesn't.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
