Hey guys. About a month ago I smashed my R34 and damaged two of my rims. They are 17x8 Enkei Aegis, 3 piece rims. One is beyond repair except the centre is still useable and one will require a simple re-roll and maybe a buff. Now, I dunno how rare or sort after these are and I've since bought a set of 18's, but just wondering if it's worth getting them repaired or if I should just flog off the three half decent ones on ebay or something. Does anyone know what it would cost for an inner and outter band/lip to repair the rooted one?

Will cost between 100 and 150 to repair moderate damage, I had a massive dent repaired which I was surprised they could do.

One rim is only very moderate, I recon i could fix it with a strong blow with my sledge hammer but am gonna get it done right if anything. The other one needs new lips, the outter two pieces but the centre is fine

Sell the 3 as a pair, some hectic or drift kid will buy em for a cheap price.

As for the 4th, trophie? coffee table? get creative.

would not even bother for that size and offset, they are almost worse then stock.

Hahah fair enough, cheers. The rears actually have around 3 inches of dish, so i was to get the them fixed i'd run the rears on the front and get the fronts made wider with even bigger offset. But yeah, might just do as you said and sell em as a pair

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      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?

      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
