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!

    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt
