So i'm looking into buying some lenso D1R's, and not completely sure what colour to get, as well as offsets, etc. My r34 gtt is black with an impul kit (see pictures below) , and will be getting smoked indicators all round fairly soon unless you think clear might suit this set up better? I got my brother to do a really quick photoshop job on a picture of the car to give some sort of idea as to what they will look like in both black w/ red line, and aluminium w/ polished lip. Personally i'm heading towards the aluminium look with smoked indicators, but that's where i'd appreciate some constructive comments (none of the usual "oh they're bad rims anyway" "they're heavy" etc etc.) They will be street wheels, not for the track, so therefore i dont mind if they have a bit of weight or arent built to the same quality as some proper jap wheels. The size and offsets of rims, as well as tyre sizes i'm looking into running are 18x9 +12 225/40/18 (front), 18x10 +22 255/35/18 (rear). Would these be the best size to fit? I looked in the R34 Picture thread and "SiNNO" is running this setup, so i know it can be done, but my car is sitting a bit lower than his, so i might need a bit of camber? Is this the most aggressive setup I should run? These photoshopped pics give no justice to the amount of dish there would be, especially at the rears. :) Couldnt get pics to sit in here from photobucket, so have to upload them the crap way :) .

not a fan of the wheels at all but if i had to choose id say go the black and f**k off the red line....

I see where you're coming from, but i'm only looking into getting them because they are a cheap wheel with good dish. Not looking to spend a large amount of money at the moment to get some volk/work/gram lights.

hey mate,

definately would go for the black hweels and the smoked Nismo indicators and front lamps.

They'll look tuff! The black D1Rs won 'Best Wheels Award' at last year's R34 GT-R 10th Anniversary.

That doesn't say much for the people voting or the wheels that were there. I hope it's just clueless people voting for Chinese wheels over multi-thousand dollar lightweight race wheels.

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
