They could be genuine aftermarket RACING WHEELS!

You may well be sitting on a goldmine.

The only way to confirm the metallurgy, and thus the racing provenance; is to take a small sample of the parent metal, by cutting them.

In half.

PS; My lawyer would also like to know when he can expect to take delivery of your generous gift;

He's generally in his Sydney offices on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays; but not until after 2pm.

PPS; My car says hi. But in a manly way.

Racing wheels have a high magnesium content.

Dale's suggestion to cut a wheel is plainly idiotic.

But I do have idiot friends.

You shall turn a rim upside down > Pour acetic acid aka vinegar onto or into a spoke > You should see bubbles > The chemical reaction you witness, is the formation of Magnesium Acetate > 'Tis fun to watch

here are all the markings inside of the rim, plus have a look at the picture i posted in the initial post of the topic which was on the outside of the rim

I washed the cowshit off one just for you.

Your centre cap seems larger than mine?

Written between each spoke:

NISSAN

05U20 SK24

FORGED

16X8JJ30

JIL (don't have suitable keyboard for these symbols)

Then in Japlish on the centre cap:

"We Produced with Spartan Air"

thanks thats the stock gtr wheel i got the rare n1 spec gtr wheel

Spartan Air never really became very popular, because they'd didn't actually land at an airport, they'd just get Gerard Butler to kick you out the door shouting "THIS! IS! LONDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!" Assuming you were actually going to London, that is. I mean, if you were going anywhere else it wouldn't make sense.

brb, off to drill holes in my wheels for that N1 effect.

Sorry mate, unless I'm mistaken I didn't even see 'Nissan' or a part number on the back of the spokes. That doesn't fill me with confidence when it comes to their genuinity.

there is a reason for that, there is no such things as a n1 wheel

Cos they are rare.

this guy gets it

i mean if they were copies then they would of put the markings around the center cap to copy the gtr wheel

why would they make gtst wheels the size of gtr wheels when they can just make gtr wheels because they sought after more

plus it makes sense they are n1 because of the drill holes make they 1kg lighter over all 4 of the wheels. They made it lighter because the n1 spec gtr is more race inspired then the standard gtr. And the nismo edition gtr is full race version because it doesnt even have a radio....thats minus 2kg off the overall weight...among other things they didnt put in it to reduce the weight

also that guy saying that theres no nissan part number for the n1 wheel --- of course there's not, its limited edition rare otherwise everyone would buy the n1 edition so they only made a few hundred of them i suppose

Are you positively annoyed friend?

also to correct my former post, it doesnt say 'alta'...it says something else...also to the other guy who was saying something about the markings, here are a few more i found on the rim

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
