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

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
