pimpin' ?!

pffft.. they're my drift rims. :D

Yeah i'd say pimpin was the wrong word to use, now I look like a 16 year old without a car :)

One hell of an expensive exercise anyway dude... being Vic, did it rain the whole time as well? :D

As I have always maintained. Victoria Sux!!!

That's gotta be more than just running a bit flat for a while. Is there suspension damage as well. Just the extensive wear on the old tyre makes me suspicious. As well, any pothole big enough to crack a rim like that could have caused other damage.

when i recently drove down to melbourne from sydney, i was blown out on how smooth the road was, like i dodged pot holes constantly on the way down and as soon as i hit the border i didnt get 1 pot hole,

drivin down with tein coil overs and a full bodykit scared me at some points i thought i cracked my bar n shit

ben...

try Neale's Wheels in Sydney, sinlge R34 GTR rims sometimes come up on Jap ebay. i'm sure one of our friendly sponsors would scout around for you.

Here you go was looking at this today

One R34 GTR rim :D

FWIW,

When I bought my first R32, it had 18x10 BBS wheels one of which had been slid along a gutter

(big gouge about 6mm deep).

Morton and May at Liverpool fixed it for $150; I couldn't tell where they'd actually done the work

from the outside (I made marks on the rim with a texta before I sent it to them). They have a good

rep from the research I did before sending my wheel to them (about 2 years ago now).

HTH,

Saliya

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
