Don't listen to Hamish mate he's angry at the world and the popularity of D1Rs. They are a great looking wheel, but like all cheap wheels, will have your wheel balance issues above 100km/he unless you get frequent wheel balancing.

I get cheap wheel balancing and alignment so not a major issue on that front. Just can't decide on which one to go for. Dish or concave? In terms fo fitment they'll both be pretty similar going by pics.

You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

True that mate, good point. Might consider getting the studs black too, didn't think of that.

If the wheels are brand new in matte black, is it as simple as getting a place to clear coat them to make them gloss? Or do they ahve to strip the matte off and re-colour in gloss black?

Ahhhh I was thinking the exact same Varrstoens as what you've got but the only offsets they offer are +20 which, believe it or not, are too aggressive for the fat VE guards. A bloke had 19" Varrstoens like yours on his VE and he eneded a lot of guard work apprently. Tough look though.

Really?!?! f**k yeah! Do I contact the aussie distributor or Varrstoen directly?

And do they do them in 20s? 19s Are too small for the big VE body :(

      My BMW 335i

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
