Ok so i got a HR32 GTS-t and i want to get a new set of wheels, just wondering what everyone else with 32's are running and what you think. If you have pics and dont mind sharing em please post them up and let me know any points to look out for or plan ahead getting a new set of wheels. I have been lookint at the ROH Adrenalin wheels at the moment in the shadow chrome finish. i want to put a set of 17's on all aorund, maybe 17x10 on the rear and 17x8 on the front, with DOT slick if the $$$'s are right? The wheels i have on the car at the moment look to stock and once i find a buyer (which i hope is soon) i will be looking at a new set.

:P

GTR rims (r34) will look sweet as. Might need to roll/lip ur guards though (and they're expensive.

I fell in love with AVS Model 5 rims in Bronze at first sight.

The colour of ur ride would go well with some 18" white TE-37's =D

I think i saw a pic of them, what make of wheel are they or do yo have a pic at all???

I was thinking that gold or white would go well with the blue...

The current ones on there look ok if you ask me.. a bit bland, but they could be worse.

Personally I wouldn't be running anythting larger than 17's on an R32 as you may well have guard rubbing problems. Tyres are much cheaper in 17" if you drive hard also. Depends whether you drive your car for show or go I guess.

Wheels are an expensive thing to spend money on a car though... $2000 odd dollars can buy a heck of a lot of other mods.

I hear what ya saying predator about costs but they way i see it is if i seel my wheels (say $500) then put another $1000 towards them thats not that much really and im not out to have the quickest car with the most Hp's at the treads, just a neat looking tidy daily that i can have a bit of fun in every now and then.

Rowdy32 will be able to help you out with the correct offset for 17" wheels if you want to squeeze 265 on the rear without rubbing. I have 17x8s all round with a +35 offset, they are the white wheels in my sig

Also have a spare set of gold AVS Model 6 rims with +30 offsets that wrok fine/look good, and had an old set of Model 5 AVS wheels with the same +30 rear, but +25 fronts...and again they cleared everything and looked the goods.

So when running 17s with 215 fronts and 235 rears you can get away with a range of sizes and ofsets, if you want to maximise the tyre widthwiths then PM Rowdy32:)

If you are going to drift the car you should get some cheaper rims for than mine.

Koya wheels have just released a copy of the nismo LMGT4 wheel, you coudl get 4 for the price of one of mine id say and then have them sprayed whatever color you like :rofl: if you destroyed one atleast you could get one localy NEW and CHEAP

My two cents ;)

      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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      By cosline · Posted

      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

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
