Although these need to be on the right car, they are still one of my favourite rims, if only they came in a 19 x 10.5

These on a blk or mnp r33 would look nuts in a deep dish 19..

I hate those Advan wheels you posted. There's a few nice Advan wheels but these three-spoke ones look ugly as!!

I used to work compliancing cars back in 1999 for an importer and we had a few serious cars come through our doors, the wildest ones where supporting these rims. I agree with you that they can't be thrown onto any car, they need the perfect combo, but if they made them in 19s, a gold set in 19s would look great on a mnp or black r33 IMO

Btw, I haven't seen many r33 gtr's with silver 19" lmgt4s like on r34 nur.

The enkei rpf1 look pretty good on them also

And not sure if there are any Melbourne guys reading this post but there used to be a white s3 r33 gtr with number plates VOLARE with polished rim and silver centre Simmons fr19's

The thing looked insane

My top 4 in no real order would be

Simmons fr19 min ( polished lip with solver spokes)

Enkei rpf1 18 or 19

Lmgt4 19" min

Te37 19" min

Looks like you're a sucka for massive dish rims. TE37 and LMGT4 only come with those dish at 19.

Personally I think 18 is the perfect size in terms of look, price (both rim and tyres) and steering. No doubt 19 looks great and better than 18 but I cant justify spend the extra coins just to look good.

Yes I do like a dish dish I guess, look I like 18s too, good price on tyres, better ride, but r33's are pretty big cars, so if your talking price a set of 19 varsstoens or whatever they are called with tyres from the tyre rack will cost you less then 18 te37's on there own, seriously though, I still think the Simmons fr wheels are amongst the best rims that are a available, not only that but you can order any size, colour, width and offset...

Didn't Simmons shut the doors a couple of years ago though? You're right the FR was probably one of the best looking wheels but more suited to Aussie cars really, you cant go past TE37 on any GTR. And whats with everyone flogging off their SL's? I know when I eventually get a set they will be staying put.

Fr simmons are now made to order from Tempe tyres, after seeing them on an r33 believe me they suit them well, fr18's on a 32 gtr suit well also. But I'm not a fan unless they are polished lip with silver spokes

I love te37's but some guys where talking about a rim that isn't common on a gtr, you really can't go wrong at all with te37's or lmgt4s, but lets admit it, we have all seen a gtr with te37's on it

So nobody flame me, I agree that they are probably the best rim for a gtr, just saying there is other unique stuff out there

So I guess it is same to conclude that the TE37 is the best looking wheel for the GTR.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
