Opinions needed!!

what do you think? would they look any good? (well better than r33 stockers anyway!!). The centre caps will be GONE, and replaced with...something..dunno what :)

I've heard they would fit ok being 5 stud, but does anyone know if it's a hassle?

ps. if anyone has some time on their hands and could photochop them onto a wine red r33, i will love you forever :) :)

There is a few things to consider first PCD, offset, width. Having 5 holes is only 1 piece of the puzzle.

You should find some and try them on before you get any further into buying some. They might stick out of the guards or need big spacers. They might be too narrow for decent tyres at the back.

In general though I think they look pretty good. What do they look like without centre caps though? could ruin the whole idea.

could just replace the centrecaps with something generic most of the factory rims made for ford come from ROH so they may have some ROH caps or blank caps that will fit onto those rims.

i would be interested to see the results of the photo chop

:)

heres my attempt at a photochop pretty amateur but hope it gives you an idea of what it looks like :) sorry i couldnt find a good photo of a wine red skyline but you get the idea :headspin:

Hope the owner of the car in the photo doesnt mind that I put some falcoon rims on his ride :)

G'day Shell - I reckon they would look great.

One thing to think about is the size of the front brakes on the R33's are pretty big compared to a lot of other cars (4 spot brakes), so the off set may not clear them :)

Worth a try though :D And for the centre caps, you'd be able to make up a sticker to go over the 'ford' on them without an problems.

P.S. - I might have a set of R34 GTt rims for sale soon if my car is written off.... :)

thanx for the pic, mcnamg...they look pretty good!

I'm just soooo sick of the stock rims...and i'll be getting these for free (if my bf still goes ahead with upgrading his XR rims!!) And they'll be 17's too yay!

Jay, i would have thought the front brakes on the XR's would be pretty big?? but yeah, worth a shot anyway, it's no loss if they don't fit :(

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
