I was looking at Powder Coating my Advan's that came up a GTR I just bought but after the weekend giving them a wash and seeing what immaculate condition they are in, I thought they might be of more value to someone that wants gold rims. I am told these rims & tyres have done under 3000kms from previous owner, which was initialdennis here from the forums.

Rims are Advan TC2 with Hankook Ventura RS3 Semi Slicks in excellent condition! Rims have NO gutter rash, with the inside of the rim also shining like brand new!

I am interested in trading with some nice, immaculate 18" Black or Gunmetal Rims that sit mean and look great on a R32. They have to have function as well as look great! Some dish would be great, but not too fussed!

As you probably know, Genuine Advans are expensive and these rims are in immaculate condition, so I will put an asking price if anyone is wanting to buy them. If you have trades, let me know what they are and how much money you are willing to give on top, unless you have something of the same value.

Price- $3300

Also interested to hear what rim you think would sit the best on this car! looking to get dark tint soon and want to keep is as street as possible.

Look forward to hearing your comments and offers;)

And do you guys think 19" Rims are too big for this car? I have a set of immaculate BBS Challenge wheels with new rubber that i could powder coat black and put on. They are a great rim but I thought 19" might be a little big?

Yes 19" is too big. 17 or 18 is the right size, anything larger just look too fully sik & hectic basically.

You don't use different sized rims because a different rolling diameter will upset your 4WD system and a different tyre width will just make the thing understeer even worse than it already does.

Kool. What is the best size rims for a R32? I want 18's preferably. Thx

18x9.5 +22 is recommended for 32R's. As long as the car isn't excessively lowered. (with 265's)

You can do 18x9.5 +12 but once again make sure the car isn't excessively low.

(looking at that photo of your's it'd be on the limit for +12's without scraping)

Thx RBN1, I have adjustable Teins so could play around with height if needed ;)

Cool, go for the +22 's.

Your car is too nice to have the wheels scrape the arch.

sweefu, Wheels 17x9.5 Stud Pattern 5x114.3 and tyres 235/45/17 and they are in great condition. I would say in excess of 80% tread. I will offset ASAP.

I was just informed by previous owner they could be +22. Not 100% but pretty sure! Another pic on how they look-

Matt at Racepace told me yesterday these are some of the lightest wheels he has ever taken off a GTR. He also told me that I might be asking a little too much;)

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
