Hey all,

I am putting up for sale the rare Apex'i rims that come on my R33 GTR. As the topic states they are a genuine APEX'i rim, which i didnt even know they made rims. These are a VERY light weight rim so perfect for track work. They are a 3 piece rim and of very good quality. they have minor wear marks on them but for a fee on top of sale price i can have them reco's to be as new, including new paint and polished dish's.

They are 5x114.3 PCD so all skylines pcd. They are about 9.85" so dunno if that classifies them as a 9.5" or a 10" rim???? They come fitted with federal 595 tyres which are suitable to drive on but have camber wear as most skylines do.

Not sure of the offset but they are on my GTR so if they are a 9.5" i would amagine the offset is somewhere around +20? i have included photos of them on my car so you can see fitment.

Wheels located in SE suburbs of Victoria but can organise freight anywhere for the right buyer as i have a frequently used freight company with my work.

Given the extremely rare availability of these rims i am selling for $1500 firm. They are true JDM wheels to set of any skyline.

Thats not how you measure rim width.

Its actually measured from the bead itself.

Its generally 1inch less than the outside width, which you have measured.

Hey buddy, this is the only set of these I've seen other then my own, perhaps yours are different but the dimensions of mine as per the wheel info are:

17" x 9jj

+ 17 offset.

yeah cool, thats what they will be then. thanks heaps. you still got yours??? you know much about them??? forged center piece?? surely it is going of how light they are.

Trial fit possible champ??

yeah man, deff happy to help.still on car though so obviously will be a jack up my car and a juggle around but easily do-able.

Yeah mate, still on my GT-R, They were on the car when I bought it, Don't know too much about them, not alot of info on the web that I've seen, They are pretty darn light I want to get the tyres off so i can weigh them properly, Do yours come with a little sticker on the inside of the wheel in jap ?

On another note,

People looking at these wheels the awesome offset they come with, they can naturally fill out a GT-R guard without requiring spacers !!!

Awesome man. I'll PM you soon so we can hook up a suitable time for both of us ;-)

just wanted to say, i looked at the tread last night, the fronts have about %85 left, the rears have about %55 through the meat of the tyre but have camber wear.

Picked up my new set of Weds guys so need these gone, am little neg on price now but nothing stupid as i know how rare they are, make an offer, might just get lucky and you will know you will never see someone with the same set of wheels as you! oh maybe 1 though haha

    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
