Oh I want them. That's not really the question. I was asking others if they reckon I should spend. Which is silly. But hey, I'm silly :P

This photo would look 100 times better if I had those wheels....

I reckon save your money and just wait until your current rubber needs replacing and then get a new set of wheels/tyres.

I've still got the stockers on my GTS-t simply because I put fresh rubber on it only a year ago so no point buying new rubber when it cost me $1,100 for that rubber.

do it do it do it

and use the old rims with semi's for track days

There nice rims, In the end you have to drive it and only you know what you can or cant spen money on

18's for track days? I hope wilch has lots of money. It's cheaper to buy rubber for smaller rims than big rims as you all know. Sell the rims on Hot4's, I'm sure some sucker will pay top dollar for them.

Starcorp Impuls are nice.

do what will make you proud of your decision wilch, if your sick of your old wheels, get them changed.

The wheels you suggest look a lot better then you current wheels, however, id like them more if they were silver (shadow chrome or whatever the hell you call it), but thats just me

ive always been a fan of the drift r's, seen them on a r33 the other day and looked nice, but look even better on a r34 IMHO, so maybe thats why you got bored of them blitz?

wheel chair,  

and one of those chair lifts to get into your car

:P

As long as the wheelchair is lowered to within an inch of YOUR life. The wheels on a wheelchair are already big enough, but I'm sure you could find a different style to really make it "yours." Maybe get a set of titanium or carbon-fibre wheels, or go old-school and get some Tour-De-France/Olympics style tuffs?

Wilch, as people have already said, if YOU can justify the cost, and your tyres are up for replacement anyway, then go for it and engage in some male retail therapy!

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
