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.

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!

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
