Yokohama AVS (Advanced Vehicle Systems) VS-5 wheels

- 17" x 8" et32mm fronts

- 17" x 9" et38mm rears

They were originally silver but were powdercoated in Dulux Pearl White a couple of months back. The center caps are still silver with the AVS logo. The wheels are in perfect condition except one front wheel has a 2cm long gash of powdercoating chipped off the outer rim and one rear wheel has a 18cm long gash of powdercoating chipped off the outer rim as well. To restore them to perfect finish, the powdercoating process for one wheel is about $70. Currently, the fronts wear 235/45/ZR17 Dunlop FM901s and the rears wear 245/40/ZR17 Dunlop SP8000s. The offset is suitable for Nissan S14/R32/R33/R34, Toyota JZA80 (not sure about *ZZ30 Soarers) & Mazda FD3S. I bought the wheels for $1200 and had them machined, sandblasted and powdercoated for $500 and paid $1000 for the tyres (2000kms) so all up I spent $2700. Looking for $1800 for the lot.

Cheers,

Louis

hi joe,

yup they're the same wheels, except mine are wider and have the right offset for a late model rwd nissan... however, that price is way too low for me to consider... the tyres themselves are near new and cost $250 a piece... as mentioned b4, i'll post a ballpark figure soon...

cheers,

louis

    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
