Ok i know the GTR wheels are 8 inch wide wheras the GTST is 6.5 inch wide and gtr is forged, but is there any way you can tell by just looking at them that they are GTR wheels? I bought wheels last year and just recently read that gtr wheels have a 'forged' marking inside but i cant find it anywhere! the rim says 690kg and ive got 225/50 tyres on them.

Take the rim off and look on the back usually on one of the spokes. It will tell you all you need to know.

like this one it writes forged around the center cap?

if mine are not gtr but gtst rims, then why do they have holes drilled into them around the center caps?

Just take the wheel off and look on the back.

i cant right now, i will do it tomorrow, but like that link i posted, shouldnt it have markings around the center caps if they are gtr, and none if they are gtst? also exactly where on the back?

also why do mine have holes drilled into them

GTR wheels. GTST are 6 or 6.5 wide

Ok thanks but it still doesnt answer the question as to why there are no engarved markings around the center caps like the one in this picture: http://www.cruzinforacure.com/Skyline/IMG_5078_800x533.jpg

I think you should cut them in half to confirm; Ben was definitely onto something.

ill cut it in half and shove it up your lawyers ass :yes:

by the way...your car ---

R32 GT-R = 16x8 +30

R32 GTS-t = 16x6.5 +40

If I may add. It's been 26 years since the first gtrs rolled off the line, any number of things could have happened to them. Were there any other markings behind the spokes? They could well be non genuine.

    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
