Hi all

I am looking for a set of rims for my line.

Preference is a black center with polished lip.

Found a perfect set at: http://www.sad-style.com/e-parts/dtl/tw_dtl.asp?num=TW01699

Unforuntately they only come in 18x7.5.

Is there anything else thats similar? Racing Hart Type CR is similar but doesnt come in black.

Any help much appreciated, looking for the perfect set of rims. Anything spokey, black and with polished lip would be terrific.

Else might opt for Buddy Club P1's or something.\

Rays Engineering will paint their wheels in any of their available colours if you're willing to pay for it.

And you sound disappointed that your G-Games only come in 18x7.5, but you don't tell us what size you are looking for.

I heard about Buddy Club going bust ages ago, I don't think they were able to compete with the fake copies going around. Apparantely you can still get their 'overseas' rim versions (I can't think of a better way to phrase this, they have another company outside of Japan that makes them perhaps?) I've also seen some companies in Oz that sell Buddy Clubs still, stating that "this is the last batch available." Buddy Club P2's look the goods but were pretty expensive when they were more available, I wonder how much they'd set you back now that they are harder to find? I managed to get my P1's just before Buddy Club went bust and weren't as expensive as I've seen them going for in this next batch.

On another note, I saw in an issue of HPI a while back a set of rims that had a carbon fibre layer over the inner spokes that also had a polished lip. Looked pretty sweet, and probably cheaper than the P2's I would imagine.

"But my mom says I'm cool."

chk out the business traders section and look for JDMimports. I've bought a few sets off him before and Charles is a top bloke. He imports wheels from the yahoo auctions and can pretty much source what you are looking for. But be prepared to pay 2K upwards for a good set of japanese wheels.

yeah Charlles is a top bloke I got my Volk 18" GTC off him and they look sweet as! ....and also getting me the centre caps to finish off the wheels.....he will be able to hook you up with a set of mags you are after.

Yeah I believe I have spoken to Charles on several occasions.

Cant find anything I like. Problem is I dont know of any other brands or models that make something I want. ie. black with machined lip, so its kinda hard for JDMImports to find something for me if I dont know what rim I am looking for in particular.

I really love it but can't justify another set of wheels this year...would be my fifth set! :)

$2500 with rubber is a good price!

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
