Which model mate?

I have Volk TE37 bronze on my jalopy. They're fully sick mate ...

The only ones above this are the Volk Racing Challenge which are probably my favourites.

These are also pretty expensive. You'd be lucky to get TE37 for $4,000-5,000 a set. The VR Challenge even more.

I think Croydon AS are the distros but I could be wrong.

TE37 Bronze!!! awesome! they're my favourite.

4-5K new.......awwhhh, i didn't think they were that much.

Do u find these wheels second hand at all?? Possible to get em in from japan??

Cos i wasn't exactly looking to spend that much on wheels when i get the car.

i know this is going to sound like blasphemy to u, but does anyone make copies of em?? :D

Well I kinda got myself in a bit of a mess the other night in the rain and stuffed my bronze volk racing wheels, that were the best I've ever seen. Everybody commented on them and I had to go and smashed 3 of them. I was lucky I didn't do any pannel work. Just a lower control arm and a little bit more. If anybody knows anyone who can get me some in from japan it would be most appreciated.

:D

Well I just ****ed my Bronze SE37's  

Oooch.

JustCars valued my 18x9.5 bronze TE37s at $8k!

That's including tyres BTW.

You can get them new for $1.5k per rim - 2nd had would still be close to $1k per - unless you get lucky. Fingers crossed :)

Funny thing is that I always used to slam my previous cars into the gutters.

I drove like company commodores with plastic wheels caps and you'd just slam them into the curb.

Funnily I scratched the rear drivers side going too fast around a corner and rubbing the median.

My others are fine (I drive carefully and avoid reverse parking).

Yeah - I never have this problem in the Lada :D

Hooray for BF Goodrich!

I scratched my drivers front - backing out of my driveway and turning too sharp.

Such a silly thing to do :)

Anyway... getting mine fixed before AutoSalon - will keep you posted :D

well, seems everyone love TE37, i can get them 2hand at much lower price with tyre, or Challenge for even less.

i am NOT a business man, i am an oversea student! but recently i am getting some rims for my line and i found that i can import them myself instead of rip off by Aus shop! if anyone interest, u can contact me and see if i can help. Which help me earn a bit of pocket $$ to mod my car :P

    • 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. 
    • 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.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • 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
    • 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.
