PAV34 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) Just wondering what you guys think i should do with these 19x10.5 LMGT4s I just bought. Was thinking of getting them painted 'Nismo Black' to match my 18 x 9.5 Omori set, but on the other hand I'm thinking it would be a shame to paint over the factory silver with polished lip finish. Will be going on a Bayside Blue BNR34 by the way. Thoughts?

GTR-N1 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I'd leave them silver personally (with your BsB body). A Nismo Black Omori set later on for the track will make a great contrast. I have 2 sets of LMGT4s both in Nismo Black (powdercoat) - but that's because my car is QM1 white and they were both 2nd hand with slight imperfections.

Owgasm Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I thought they were white for a second. Had never seen them before. Where did you get this set from! Haha Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/426237-19-x-105-lmgt4s/#findComment-6874863 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAV34 Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 I thought they were white too so I checked with the seller. Found them in Japan Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/426237-19-x-105-lmgt4s/#findComment-6874939 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PewPew Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking? I'm looking for a set at the moment to upgrade from my 18x10.5 but the ones I see on Yahoo Aucions are ridiculously priced... 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/426237-19-x-105-lmgt4s/#findComment-6874994 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piggaz Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Leave them factory... and buy another black set Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/426237-19-x-105-lmgt4s/#findComment-6875142 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owgasm Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I'm with factory colour. One day you may want to sell them, untampered rare collectable is worth more than "restored" counterpart.

lidz Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Very nice, was watching these even though I don't have anything to put them on! Went for a decent price too, congrats! Another vote for leave them silver, will look excellent against the bsb. Only tip would be to change centre caps, go the flat caps in the diamond cut finish as per my sig. Jesse streeter sorted mine for a good price Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/426237-19-x-105-lmgt4s/#findComment-6875633 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAV34 Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 They went for an OK price, but when you add, delivery, commission, etc it ended up costing me more than a new set would. They look great in your sig, i think those centre caps are definitely the way to go. Very nice, was watching these even though I don't have anything to put them on!

Brandon Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Yea but I was told the LMGT4 were semi discontinued (need decnt number of orders before Rays will make them). And to make things harder, 10.5 are typically a made to order size and even for TE37, they can take awhile since its not off the shelf (typically). Good pick up I'd say. ps: if you've seen my other post, you might want to check how much a new set will cost as I've notice Rays for whatever reason decided to jack up their already very exp rims by another 50%+ (something like 2yrs ago was 52,000yen and now 82,000yen, TE37 18x9.5). They went for an OK price, but when you add, delivery, commission, etc it ended up costing me more than a new set would. They look great in your sig, i think those centre caps are definitely the way to go.

Owgasm Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Define decent number Brandon. 10 sets? I'm sure these forums could get 10 people interested in a 19x10.5 +12 set of lmgt4s. Depending on retail price at the moment, it would even be easy.

Brandon Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 No idea. This was 2yrs ago when I got the 18x9.5 TE37. I was actually after 18x10.5 TE37 or LMGT4 but the TE37 needed a couple of months (which I didnt want to wait) and LMGT4 doesnt even have an ETA date (even 9.5). Which is why I end up with these TE37 now. Cost shouldnt be all that hard because what I get quoted is basically what is listed on Ray's website. Just check that and convert to AUD + frieght + agent commission and it should be it. I paid 3.2k for mine when it was 52,000yen (1aud = 75yen?)back then so you can kinda work backwards and see how much the frieght and commission is. 10.5's gonna be slight more expensive too. Easier, email Streeter or similiar exporter to get an actual figure.

EM1 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Lmgt4s can be made, 10 sets is the min order ,and they come in 4 colours offset 12 and 22 ,I looked at doing this about 1 year ago through the guy that imported my car for me,but it was 4800 for bronze black silver ,I think white was slightly dearer.

vspecIInur Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 The photos were taken from yarra blvd I believe. Nice little bit of twisty action. Not the best for the 34 gtr but nevertheless lots of fun if you're bored Those rims are the best for any 34 gtr. Hard to source so I went with TE37's Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/426237-19-x-105-lmgt4s/#findComment-6928259 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMOKEYV35 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Just perfect, no repaint required. Leave as is. Plus, keep them in original and minty condition and they will only appreciate in value. PM me if you want to know where to get a set of unbeatable lock nuts.
