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.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
