omg lower it, hehe

are you happy with them?

they the right width for you, no scrubbing. Who cares how much a rim costs or doesnt cost, i would buy a 2 dollar rim if it was of course a good reputable rim and would brake. But as long as i liked it on my car, thats the important thing... so think about it.

or are there other rims you prefer?

mmm dish *drools*

well dont jump into anything. Worse comes to worse, buy those nice work rims, and buy me some at the same time, ill give you the specs and stuff of what i want, ehehe ...

and keep the other rims and sell them for a fair price, i honestly have no idea what they are worth etc ...

Hehe yeah I have to lower it  :lol:

I was thinking of getting a set of WORK MEISTER S1 GOLD like these-

These rims look great, but get them in black with the polished dish.

As stated b4, if you are happy with the impul rims who cares how much they are worth. A few years ago (appox. 3yrs) i bought a cheap set of 19's for my car. I have just changed the colour of the rims, due to a paint job on the car, and the rims now look hotter then ever, so happy with the end result of the whole project. B)

As mentioned above, mine are NOT real AVS rims :(, they are a rip off and made in 19" :). They are actually Lenso Muse, 19x8.

3 years ago, when affordable 19's just came on the market, i paid $3600, that also included the tyres, new nuts, 1 set of lock nuts, ballance, alignment and fitting.

Tyres: Hankook K104s (These tyres are pretty damn good for their price)

F: 245/35/19

R: 275/30/19

And have just recently been powder coated from silver to charcol, giving them a new lease in life :lol: Not a bad result for $120 :)

CameronBNR32: Sorry to divert from your topic, i was originally pointing out that you do not need to buy expevsive rims to make your car look good. If you are happy with the style and colour stick with the Impul.

I was not happy with the original colour of my rims as they looked white in photos (i really dislike white rims) and for a mesilly $120 i changed the whole look of the car. They may not be everyones "cup of tea" but i love the change.

Hey guys,

My car came over from Japan with Impul Type R rims on it.

I cant find any info on these. are they a rare rim?

wondering if it is worth getting them polished repaired and repainted.

About the rims, they're about 13 - 15 years old. Ok they're 2 piece or whatever, but Ieven though they're quite rare now (due to age if anything else) I can't say that they're that valuable to anyone except people who are into vintage rims like those.

As for getting them polished, I say yeah, do it. They suit the car in style and vintage aspects, so it's a good match IMO.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
