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

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
