^Re: above comments about 18x11s: I had 18x11 +18 on my 34 GTR and although they looked sweet I couldn't get full lock due to the inside of the wheel rubbing against the suspension upright (Doing 3 point turns around hairpins at Galston Gorge is pretty embarrassing :P). I could have probably spaced them out to avoid this but they were already flush/just outside the guard on the front so it would have made it a fair bit worse.

Back to 10s now and I'm happy that I can turn moderately tight turns :)

would look very good. i just recently fitted matt black rims to my mnp r33 gtr n looks alot better than before in my opinion.

do a google search and some images should come up of the sl's on a gtr.

i will be putting some new photos up in the photography section once my abflug rear diffuser arrives from japn

also pretty sure that sunline racing used to use those tcII on their carbon r34 so they must be pretty good if a high class tuner in japan would use them for a time attack car

I am pretty keen to get them, but still not sure about the gun metal on a midnight purple hmmm

Oh really, that is a bit of a pain. I really would like a set of 18x11 or 18x11.5 would be even better because you can go to a 315 tyre (I think) comfortably.

n11smo is selling Gold ADVAN RG I (discontinued) rims with plenty of rubber atm.

Gold on MNP is superb!

Thread title should be:

TE37s the most over used Jap wheel in history?

Ha ha ah.....damn, I think you are right Ash...not come to think of it...damn

As if!

One of the best wheels to come out of Japan!

Totally agree. In my opinion, the LMGT4 and the TE37 are the best rims to grace a R33.

Cheers

I know i'll piss people off but seriously over GTC's,

One of the most over used Jap wheels. TE37's are common but bloody effective. I'd still buy a set for mine eventually as track wheels one day

I think the GTC's - regardless of face and lip whatever, is ugly and does not justice to a GTR or any Skyline at all. The spokes looks ugly in my personal opinion. I think the TE37 looks best then followed by the LMGT4 and that's about it. Everything else is a hit and miss thing. Boring I agree, but better be safe than sorry.

What other rims do people rock in their Skylines nowadays? Anything original?

In terms of the looks department, what are the major differences between a standard set of TE37's and the SL version?

Thanks.

Same style / looks but made slightly different.

A forged 1 piece wheel.

Success of 400 grams weight loss on the 18x10.5 size was achieved using the latest technology and mold form tooling while maintaining the same original strength and rigidiy as our current TE37 line-up.

By the way, where to buy replacement TE37 stickers? I personally find them ugly (the blue Volk Racing ones) and prefer to have the LMGT4 Nismo ones - anyone put these on as an alternative?

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • 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
