Hey guys,

I recently purchased a set of R33 GTR wheels. I have a few queries though as i am slightly paranoid. I first noticed that they are missing the "FORGED" stamp in the middle of the wheels around the studs - but the wheels also look resprayed so i thought maybe it was just sanded back?

The markings which the wheels DO have

-"VIA" and "JIL" around the outside edge.

-"ET+30", "17x9J", "MAX LOAD", "690KG", "C", "T6" and "M" all appear on the inside of the wheels on different spoke backings.

If i am just being paranoid feel free to slap me. All of a sudden i have notions that they are not real forged GTR wheels but cheapo cast rims.

Thanks in advance.

No "NISSAN" stamp anywhere im afraid. They VERY much look the part of real wheels and i doubt that anybody would go to the effort of faking R33 wheels BUT i was hoping either somebody could confirm they are real or tell me something that they are also definitely missing.

All the r 33 gtr wheels that i have seen have : forged 17x9jj30 Nissan 24u10 3k35 jw .

These are the markings they have in the centre near the the plastic cap .

No other markings on the ouside side of the wheel , they have some numbers on the inside as well .

Looks like you may have copies there , i'm in sydney , if you want to bring one around my place ( Hills area ) i can check it and tell you for sure .

I could send you a pic but its very hard to tell if they are good copies .

So kind of you to make such an offer - you don't know how relieving it would be for me to know whether or not they are real.

If you do not mind too much, do you think you could take a quick look at these tonight?

We could meet somewhere neutral so as i do not have to know where you live.

If you use msn: [email protected]

Thanks.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
