Ive got offered a pretty awesome deal for these rims new.

Just been reading about them and ive heard good and bad stories about them, the owners of them say there good but peoples friends uncles parrots brothers crack after going over road works and stuff.

Whats the quality of these and whats everyone 2 cents about them???

A Pro is apparently they weigh like 8kgs o.O

the wheels will be used for daily use, long trips, some track work and some skid pad work. so has to be sturdy. although atm my GTT is only about 180 rwkw.

Im thinking these or drift teks, is there anything else that looks similar that people think id like???

any input will be greatly appreciated but please dont over or under exaggerate, this is my wallet after all :P

thanks guys,

Jarrad.

Been running 18x9.5 P45R's on the GTR for about 18 months now with no issues, and really why would there be issues.

I don't drive into kerbs, I dont go offroad, I don't drive through roadworks and potholes - So basically I drive like a normal person and not like a "P plater drift champion".

Wheels don't just crack by themselves, abuse generally does it.

Yeah not to keen on dish. That's why I like the other ones :D

Think 18 8.5 +25 would fit a gtt good right round??

Don't want to roll guards so 9.5 is out

Yeah Thats right smithy. I found it hard to believe they'd just break lol.

Hmm looks pretty nice. Well ive been offered p45rs in any size in 18s I want for 1200. 1100 for 17s delivered so can't really pass it up, and I want the same size right round so I can rotate Tyres. So what should I do?? I've been told the 17s by 9 will fit my car heaps better but I want 18s. Do you think the concave is worth getting 17s for?? Personally I don't know or care to much about flat or concave, but do they look shit in the eyes of a wheel whore?? Hah.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
