Hi

I came across these the other day when looking for wheels to put on my RS4S when it gets here. Has anyone seen/had them on a car or any other wheels of this brand?

I think they look pretty nice, but I'm yet to see them in the metal, or see them on a car.

Thanks

they look ok!

check how much they weigh. i would imagine a lot if they are cheapish wheels

This may be a dumb question, but how much should they weigh? Is there an easy way to find out other than getting the shop to weigh them for me?

gday

so what size and offset are you looking at and do you have any other rims in mind?

also noticed your in launceston, wouldn't mind meeting up one day.,

Hey

I'm looking at 18s, not sure about offset yet, I want to try and keep a bit of depth to them which is why I'm keen to see them on a car or in the metal so I can get a better idea what's possible.

Yep, in Launceston so happy to meet up some time. Hopefully should have the car in mid-Jan (it's on the boat from Japan next week), so looking forward to that!

Check their website for sizing and weight. Tangles has these wheels in 18s, i think. Do you have a RS4S or RS4? Wider rear track needs offset to be higher at the rears. Swapping cradles sorts that. I got cr kais 17 x 9 +23. IMO get good tyres and rims that fit your car well. Try not to use spacers.

Its going to be a long couple of months for you then.

I have 18x8 with 30 offset and my tires are 235x40, when i lowered the car i needed 15mm spacers on the rear but after getting adjustable camber arms and

bringing the camber back to standard i didn't need the spacers any more.

When you get yours down here your welcome to have a look and try my rims to see how they fit, I am pretty sure they didn't fit with standard hight,

the problem was the rims where rubbing against the coilovers which are a lot thicker then standard so i guess it all depends what you have on your car.

I'm getting an RS4S Dayz edition. I can see some stats on the webiste, but no weight I don't think.

The plan is to get wheels and tyres that fit well, I don't want to be mucking around with spacers or have bad fitting rims. If these ones don't work out, I'll try and find something else.

Haha, it certainly will be a long couple of months, particularly once the car reaches Oz and is getting complied etc, so close yet so far!

Coming and looking at different rims sounds good. The more I see the more idea I will have.

Next question, where is the best place to get them done in Launceston?

IMO dont fck around too much with the camber. With coilovers or lowered the rear wheels naturally tend to lean in, and result in chewing the inside of the tyres. This occurs because it physically works against the multi link independant rear suspension of the stagea.

Ppl use camber kits as a cheap workaround for looks, but dont reliase they are just complicating suspension components when they should concerntrate on strenghtening them. Let me emphasise again - buy rims that fit with a 9" width and good tyres. Offset and disc type is the key to a successfull fit. Remember always equate fitting bigger brakes behind them. :(

anything to suit gtr will fit

the same size all round is a must

18x9 +15 would be a good start

Cool, thanks for that. Definitely looking at the same size all round. Is the fact that they are 18x8.5 rather than 18x9 going to make much of a difference?

Basically, an 18x8.5+15 will sit 1/2 inch further inside the guard than 18x9+15.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
