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

    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
