Ive seen a R32GTR with a set, that were actually Matt-Black, not silver, and IMO they looked good. Being Forged Magnesium they also weighed about half as much as a normal 18x10inch wheel.

They're similar to the Lamborghini Diablo rims i think???

What do you think a set would be worth?

Does anyone know absolutley anything about this brand or know of anywhere you can buy a set?? A website, anything!!!

Heres the website: http://excite.co.jp/world/english/web/?wb_...&wb_dis=2" target="_blank

Btw, the company is called 'Auto Strada', and they make all sorts of racing style wheels and are top quality obviously.

I've given a link to a translating website for your 'ENGRISH' viewing pleasure :lol:

As for buying a set... well I hope you've got $4000 plus (thereabouts) to spend... They still make them, but as has been mentioned they're forged magnesium so they're a premium wheel by any standards.

if your interested in these rims, i know where you can get a set :)

and i know they aren't the best looking rims around but, at certains angle and on the right car they're look alright, and they're are bloody LIGHT, it helps if u own a Soarer, like me!! :O

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
