Right, click on this link Fuji Corporation and they've got Work Emotion CR Cai 18x9.5 with tires front and rear for R32 GT-R for 140,000 yen... Fuji Corporation have some pretty good deals on new wheels and tires.

 

Otherwise, if you really like my wheels (Desmond Regamaster) you could go for these:

158,000 yen with 265/35/18 tires at www.hokuei-inc.co.jp

Are these the same? :

LM's are made by Rays under commission from Nismo

I reckon they're a 5-spoke of the TE37's

They also have a different pattern around the studs (many holes, rather than either 4 or 5 on the TE-37).

LW.

It's actually the overall rolling diameter that needs to be the same front-back to keep ATTESSA happy.

Just thought I would emphasize this as I see so often people saying AWD needs same width rims.

The torque split controller works on the rolling dia. and even pulls in if one of your tyres is a bit low on pressure.

So on diff size rims just adjust the tyre aspect ratio and rolling dia. to suit!

IMHO rim apearance and desirability is totally subjective.

A big issue to me is how easy they are to keep clean!

Here's my car with BBS LM's in 17x9. I dream of 18inch wheels though for my car. Either WORK Meister S1's, R34 GT-R wheels or Nismo LMGT4's and I'd still settle for TE37's.

I might have to sell these rims as I just bought some Brembos for the front and it doesn't look like there's enough clearance for them :D So, great excuse to upgrade wheels I suppose!!! I'll need about $5k though to get what I really want! OUCH!!!

Hey thanks people.

Right now, I'm looking at this :

in black like this :

And I want 18".

I know the size has to be the same for all on a GTR, just wondering if they could also fit on a 300zx as well?

thanks again.

That's actually dark blue you linked. 18" TE37s in black/dark grey looks like this:

I should know: those are my wheels in that picture. Hopefully they will show up some day (currently still in Japan).

LW.

justinfox: yeah, they look great, you just need the hubble telescope to see them from Australia :) Hoping I can get them here (without being pinched by some arsehole in the next month).

Its apparently a special order colour that Ray's offers (another one is Mercury Silver, but those a *freakin* expensive to get, even by TE-37 standards).

Yeah, they will be going on my (Gunmental) R32 GT-R. They are 18x9.5 (which apparently fits without rolling), and I think the offset is +35 off the top of my head but I can check if you like?

Should look a little something like this (though the wheels are a bit darker IMHO):

LW.

They look awesome.

Lucien, I thought GTR offset was closer to +12 or +15, with a +35 for GTSts? eg. if you bolt on a R34GTR wheel to a GTSt they stick out too far?

Also, what are they costing you to send from Japan?

Cheers

Ronin: Your right. They are +12. Its been so long since I bought them I had forgotten :D

Edit: To cut a long story short, I payed to have them afixed to my GT-R, but the place didn't do that, so car is here (with original GT-R wheels on :) ) and wheels are still in Japan. Hoping to get them brought across in another vehicle, but waiting for the place to get their act together.

LW.

IWells,

Those rims look great!

My car is exactly the same as yours, I have the SSR mags at the moment, but will definitely go the RAY route.

I'm a bit confused with some of the RAY wheels, I believe the spokes on the TE37 is flat, but another version has them slanted inward. Which is which?

BTW, Hope you get your wheels soon and safely.

Informer: The original (and still the best IMHO) TE-37 has the slanted spokes. There are a couple of other versions: the flat spoked version is the TE-37M; there is a TE-37 gravel that is also quite flat; TE-37 Cup which has inverse slant, and TE-37 K which is sort of a dished version of the 37M.

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
