XR6 turbo rims on an R33??

[Shell]

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.

[mcnamg]

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

[mcnamg]

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 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....

Doctor fitted a set of Ford FPV rims to his 32 GTS4, and they looked pretty good. No idea whether the offset is the same for the 33 though.

Gotta get rid of those stockies Shell. :uh-huh:

They look ok on the ford but in the flesh ,so to speak, they look heavy and sort of stodgy....don't have the finesse required for a Skyline

[Driver]

they look nice

[StuiE]

ZOOM's XR6 had 32GTR rims on it for a little bit, I think it used spacer tho.

[Shell]

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

[B-Man]

Yeah - Doctors R32 looked hot with those ford rims.

Do it Shell

[mcnamg]

no worries good luck with the rims hope they look good and hopefully you can find some centre caps to suit them

[Captain Natro]

Soooo... Did anybody actually try this? If not il be seeing if some fit in the next couple of weeks

[Captain Natro]

Just found some pics on the interwebs and yes they will fit

This thread is from the dark ages. Pretty sure they wont clear the front 4 pot brakes. Other than that the pcd and offsets work.

[Trex]

I could never find any falcon rims with a low enough offset. most were around the +35+

[iruvyouskyrine]

Biggest thread necro i have seen in a long time, good on you for searching though!

And my 2 cents is that they would look nice on a 32, dont know about 33/34. The XR6 rims look nice on S13's.

[gtsttrk]

I've seen it before on a couple of 33's and S chassis. IMO, doesn't look the hot at all, but hey, it's all personal taste

[gtr jet]

If you want better offsets try pre AU rims. Most of the nicer wheels are in AU onwards offsets however and they are shite.
