Hi people

I got some 18'' mags with pretty close to new tyres on them. less than 200km on the tyres.

235/40/R18 Zetum tyres all around

Selling because I was told these mags came off an R33 - failed to mention I would need a 5mm spacer and to flare the front guards to make them fit.

so now I just want to recover mostly the cost of the tyres so I can get some new tread on my stock rims.

I don't know much about wheels, so I cannot offer any offset insight - there are some numbers inside the mags I could get a photo of if anyone thinks they might be the offset figures.

I'm pretty sure they'll need a balancing - can see where some of the little weights have come off already.

I'd like to get $800 for the mags/tyres - open to reasonable offers.

Found the thread I got these tyres from -

where they were listed as:

JDM Deep Dish 18 inch Mags (Rear: 18x9.5)

If my memory serves correctly the fronts aren't as wide as the rears - I wanna say 8.5, could have been 8 (tyre monkey told me amidst a bit of a ramble)

Bump

Any offers at all - I'd consider trading for stock rims with good rubber or something to that effect

I'd even consider trading for fmic setup for r33 + cash my way, or cat back exhaust + cash my way (assuming sub $500 value)

don't be shy, I'll consider any offer

the back wheels fit an R33 perfectly

the front wheels need a 5mm spacer (illegal) and maybe some guard work.

I drove it for about 2 hours in total with the front wheels on - there's this corner in front of my drive-way which causes something to scrub somewhere around the front passenger wheel - I'm not sure if it's the tyre scrubbing on the guard or if my front bar was hitting the road, my driver side guard has been flared a tiny bit from a small ding just below the headlight and the scrubbing never happened on that side, so it could be something as easy as that.

You're welcome to come have a look, I'd be happy to put them on the car and show you exactly what scrubbing I'm talking about.

Number from inside the front mags:

PRICE DROP $800 Now $700 ono

I'm not sure how they would go on a 34 - you're welcome to come over and see if they fit.

Here is a link to a forum thread about wheel sizes & offsets for Skylines - if what I think are the offset details on the front mags is correct then there's a good chance they'll fit

As for painting them, there are some guides in the DIY section that cover painting mags - doesn't seem to be too hard a job, more a test of patience

Here is a link to a guide on these forums.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
