FAQ:

Q: Do they come with tyres?

A: Nope, they're bare naked.

Q: Will they fir a GTR?

A: The offset means they'll sit inside the flared guards. They'll fit, but I wouldn't recommend it, as it'll look odd having the guards about 16mm wider than the tyres.

Q: What happened to the decals on one of the rims?

A: Did you know that an industrial high pressure cleaner is brilliant at cleaning rims? I did. Did you know it's powerful enough to sheer off the decals? I didn't. Not my brightest moment. Only one decal is missing. It may be possible to replace, but am not sure.

Q: Will they fit on my car?

A: They should suit 200sx, skyline gtst/gtt, and FDs. If you're unsure, look at your tyre placard and see if the offset matches.

Q: One looks pretty banged up.

A: The ones in the front are the worst ones. The back ones are pretty clean. I'd rather you see the condition before coming out and taking a look.

Q: How many extra KW are these worth?

A: Well, if I had to put a figure on it, somewhere between zero and a million.

Q: Will you trade for a playstation of dubious ownership and a subway card with almost all the stamps on it?

A: While I'm sure these are incredibly valuable items, no, I'm not after trades.

Q: They are certainly a sweet set of rims. Why are you selling them?

A: Usual story. Bought them, bought a house, had a baby, and now have no time for Mistress Skyline.

Q: I'll give you $20.

A: Interesting offer, let me get back to you as soon as I finish my "Will rent out posterior for pocket change" sign.

Q: Where are you?

A: Mitcham, Melbourne, Victoria. Between Box Hill and Ringwood, just off the freeway. Prefer pickup.

Q: Will you post them?

A: I'd rather not, but if you're willing to organise the freight, I'll do my bit from my end.

Q: Do you take cards?

A: Cold hard cash is preferred. Bank deposit if necessary.

Q: Do you ship overseas?

A: No. I don't have any dead millionaire relatives, or a prize in the Equatorial Guiniea powerball either.

Q: Can you drop them off to me in a remote oil platform in the middle of Bass Straight?

A: Unlikely. If you're nearby, maybe I can work something out, I may even be able to meet you half way if really necessary, but would prefer to sell from home. Wifey is hard to convince when I skip out on putting the little one to bed, as it is a bit of a task at the moment.

Q: Are they legit?

A: Purchased right here on this very forum from an SAU member who imported them themselves. Yes, they are the real deal.

Any queries, feel free to message me here.

Q: Petrol station only have 1 air hose, how do i pump it up when it has 2 air valves?

Just in case anyone is curious, One valve is regular, the other has a 90 degree bend in it, so you can inflate from 2 different angles. That's right, no faffing about with the air pump, just grip it, tip it and blip it.

That may not make much sense, but you just inflate like normal. You just have more options now. Isn't technology grand?

Can I tip it blip it then grip it or will that divide by 0?

Tipping, blipping and gripping will result in a wayward airhose spraying everyone in the vicinity with a jet of air that smells faintly like a tin that has had urine kept in it for three summers. I wouldn't recommend it, unless you are a seriously advanced tyre inflation technician, and even then, only under strict supervision of a member of the tyre pressure advisory council.

What exactly did these fit on? I have 18x9 +38 rears and I put them on my front to test and it didn't clear the inner uprights (with a tyre on the rim).

This is on the front of a R34 GTT.

Otherwise would probably buy these asap cause light weight pretend racer over here.

Previous owner had them on an R34 GTT, I had them on an R32 GTS4.

Ahhhh. Looks a little like that guy was running thinner tyres than me. May get away with a spacer if there's any other 34 GTT'ers out there reading :P

Any idea on what they actually weigh?

I'll find out. I actually tried to look it up online, but it's hard to find manufacturers specs for wheels in general.

I'll put them on the scale tomorrow night. I don't have anything more accurate than a bathroom scale though, and my wife swears it adds 15kg, so the wheels may actually weigh less than nothing by that logic.

I'll let you know what they weigh in at. Being 18x9, I imagine they'd be heavier than stock 17x7.5, as there's a lot more metal there, even if made of lighter weight materials, though I haven't been able to get a lock on what the stockies weigh either.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
