D-Spec Drift Rims

[SS8_Gohan]

are the rims polished Nismo LM GT4's?? I WANT these rims, not polished, just the normal silver ones, so if anyone has any 17" ones or knows where to get em, 1st or 2nd hand, lemme know!

if they're not GT4's, they are VERY similar.

[Rezz]

Wheels are D-Spec

Cashed up drifter wannabes in the US are already importing these wheels by the truckload... exactly the reason why I didn't go for them.

damn, they only go up to 9.5J... damn them... I need 10's dammit!

i'm sorry Adz, i may just have to get these LM rip offs - I'm not too keen on the brand new idea, and finding second hand 17" Silver LM GT4's is VERY VERY VERY hard. Of course i'd love the real thing, but i don't think it's possible.

thanks for the info Rezz, and i apologies in advance if i buy a set! Unless you can find me some 2nd hand 17" silver LM GT4's? :D

daniel, I might beat you to it, I'm keen on gettin a set of LM ripoffs as well

[adznight]

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurn Them Alllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SS8_Gohan]

what company makes these? is it Taiyaya? All up they are about $1,100 AUD for a set. Which is pretty good considering 18" real LM GT4's are about $1k a wheel? Was it more than that adz?

how much you reckon a good condition set of Advan Model 5's would go for?

[SS8_Gohan]

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurn Them Alllllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ahahahahhaahah - ok then, give me $1,500 x4 or whatever you paid, and i'll go down to Evo-R (??) and pick myself up a set of real ones

dude, hook us up! Gareth there is a container arriving or leaving early november, i think it might be arriving. I'm not sure. So yeah, if you could hook us up with a set of silver ones (non-chrome) i'd be very interested. Would they fit an R34?

[adznight]

Yeah that right $1050 a rim so $4200 a set but thats in 18" x 9.5 mind you but I wouldn't imagine that the 17's would be much cheaper. I do like the silver rip off's though, might make a nice track day rims. Do I feel a group buy coming on?

[SS8_Gohan]

oh how quickly your mind changes adz You want my Advan Model 5's for track days?

[SS8_Gohan]

dear me, they are shiny http://page11.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/n7192839 - too shiny if you ask me. Damn it, why does no one have any 2nd hand silver ones, or even real LM GT4's!!!!

[adznight]

No one has second hand rims because when they arn't on the car they are being slammed by their owners

Chrome rims are BAD no matter what car, well maybe except VIP's.

[SS8_Gohan]

oooooo baby.....

different finish. It's a bad pic, but maybe you could get it finished a little different. i think there are some places that do it.

[adznight]

VERY hard to tell in pic, mine looked very dif in pics. The siver looks similar in pictures to the picture you have of the wheel by it's self.

[SS8_Gohan]

so you think there wouldn't be much difference in the silvers in real life?

[Ronin 09]

Give me LM4s

...and 6 pot AP callipers

[adznight]

Well the look diff again here

and here again

I'm pretty sure I saw that black GTR the other day - funnily enough it was when i was down at the dock visiting my own black GTR. It was a bit of a spin out.

He had silver LMGT4s and number plate was AWB.

I am going to get LMGT4s for mine. I love the stock wheels but on the GTR the offset isnt very aggressive and hence they sort of sit back in from the edge of the guards too far.

I just dont know which colour yet, all of them would look good on a black R34. White, bronze or silver????

[Rezz]

D-Spec wheels (if you've seen them in real life) have a very special spoke design that, even though they have moderate offset (+30), they look like the spokes are dished right into the center of the wheel, almost like they have +0 offset (a la Volk TE37s for AE86).

The LM GT4s only look "+0 offset deep spoke" style when they are for GT-R offsets/widths. Usually for GTS-ts and GTS25-ts the GT4s look fairly ordinary. Don't bag me for that comment, I see GT4s ALOT and I don't fancy them so much anymore.
