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)

Same as mine hey Al, expet mine are 2 inches smaller. First thing people mention about the car are the rims :D

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.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
