Konig Rewinds

inark off this forum bought a set of 14" ones (pictured above) and it cost him $630 landed to his door or something. 15" may be a little more expensive. They're sold on ebay as well, but its cheaper from the forum resellers, PM inark and find out who supplied his.

Probably thinking of Watanabe RS-8's. Konig brought out their Rewinds which are pretty much a direct ripoff of Watanabes. Hell of a lot cheaper though, but noticeably heavier and they aren't the real thing. Probably good enough for most people though...

Someone might correct me, but the KPGC10 and KPGC110 GT-R Skylines both came from the factory with steel rims.

I'd suggest that , as others noted, you're looking for RS-watanabe rims, SSR RS8s, Black Racing 8 spokes, or possibly Panasports.

Nissan DID make a superlite/minilite/RS8 styled wheel as a Nismo option for HR31 skylines in the late 80's, though I doubt thats the one you're looking for (15x7 +30).

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
    • Hey mate, really appreciate the help. Have been looking pretty extensively myself and was certain they were retro fitted, but then ended up finding a 4 door with what looks like the same side skirts or at least the closest I’ve seen.
