Brb, flying overseas to queue up for 2min noodles.

Mate, it probably doesn't even come with a flavour sachet.

Or a large Japanese man thrusting in your face

you didn't stipulate where said ramen was to be obtained

Fkn whats with all these Rota etc dudes though "Oh I'm not cashed up so I've GOTTA buy fake wheels NEW" Tonnes of nice jap rims about for even less coin than rotas

I don't get with all the hate with fake wheels though

If people run the rip off 'original manufacturer' argument, how many of these guys have ever downloaded music/movies illegally?

If people run the argument of structural rigidity, i think it has also been proven that some manufacturers holds its own in track sport events

I don't have fake wheel but if someone i wouldnt care.

A majority of the hard parker crowd are P plater with $10k cars. Buying genuine rays for 30-40% of the value of the car should be frowned upon more than running fake wheels :/

in this case the issue was him asking about how his Volk and TE37 SL stickers looked on his rotas....

shit for a daily who cares what you run just don;t pretend they something diffrent.

for track work, well that a different matter.

Recently I broke a wheel that was lent to me after I split my own tire in half.

The wheel that was messed up was a Work Emotion CR Kai.

Did consider just buying a pair of rotas in the same colour, and wondering if anyone would know.

There's so many that look so identical, that if you put on genuine stickers on what are essentially COMPLETE BLATANT RIP OFFS no one would know. Not realty. Enough that you'd never suspect it.

Which means that if you designed these wheels, you'd be pretty angry at someone blatantly copying your product for half the price.

It's wheel piracy :P

Do you have a story where you don't break something lol?

I've been running Rota's on the track for 3 years now and the only issue I've had is the paint chipping and bubbling easily compared to genuine wheels but I guess they'd all get pretty hammered on the track 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.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
