Hey everyone, I bought a new set of wheels so my old ones are up for sale. They were on the car when I purchased it, most of the markings are worn off but they are made in japan and I think they are Volks. I'm unsure off the offset but the rears fit well on a R33 gtst and the fronts need a small spacer (probably 5mm) to clear the brakes. I'm guessing the offset is somewhere between +35 and +40. The fronts are 17x8 and the rears are 17x9. They are multistud 5.114.3 and I think the other pattern is 5x100.

Here are some photos of the wheels when they were white:

And here is one since I painted them satin black:

The wheels have no tyres, they could be used for skids but also look good enough to drive around on and look fairly cool.

I'm after $400 for the wheels (no tyres)

Feel free to make me an offer or trade for other car parts I might need.

I'm located in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, I'd prefer local pick up please.

I can take some more photos of the wheels as they are in the next couple of days when I have some free time.

Thanks, I'll try search for them online. A friend of mine seems to think they are volks but there are many rims that look like this so its hard to be sure. There is a marking inside that says made in Japan.

Yep just checked and the pattern is 5x100 for the second pattern.

I also found out something else about the wheels. Turns out they are not actually 17x8 and 17x9. They are actually 17x9 and 17x10!!!!

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
