Bullet32

Oh ok, I read the thread wrong, sorry. I would ask if they have been on a GTst before, but I dont see them being a problem. They will sit a fair bit further out towards the guards than the standard rims - you will have an extra inch on the inner and outer of the rears over a standard GTst wheel. The fronts will be slightly less than a half an inch on the outside and slightly more on the inside over standard. The extra O.D. (overall diameter) means that you will need pretty low profile tyres, but that shouldnt be a problem... I would say - 235 / 40 R18 front and 265 / 35 R18 rear.

Hey Sam, These wheels should be fine for an R33 Gtst, being an 18x8 35+ and 18x9 38+ they should sit very close to where the standard rims would. If the rears were 40+ they would be better but being 38+ just means that they will sit further out by 2mm (not much really) I dont see there being an issue with clearance of either guards, brakes or inner guard covers. In saying that I never recommend buying wheels that you arent able to test fit first, but that may be a bit difficult in this instance. You will need to do a bit of research on the best tyre fitment though (I can help you there). If it were me, I would buy the Volk's not the cheaper imitations.

Michele, Thats not good enough - I know who you are reffering to and I will do my best to "deal" with them. I will call you when I have contacted them.

BAAAAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! :laughing-smiley-014: Thats gold!

If you want more info about cheap rims you will have to PM me, Im not risking having someone from Tempe read this thread and "disagree" with me personally.

Save your penny's and buy a decent set of wheels, like Buddy Club's or even Rays Volk's... Its not worth buying cheap rims. I wont go into to much detail about cheap rims.

My missus asks me what I want and I tell her - A vasectomy...

Bonjourrrrrrr! (ya cheese eatin surrender monkey!)

Old news?? Well S-o-r-r-y! The boys have just about finished the showroom and I will be going there to "Federalise" it as soon as I can.

Broken!

Thats more than one word Luke... (oops so is this)

Youre a moron, I hope you know that

I didnt see you wave, although I did take off to get in front of you pretty quick... By the way your exhaust note is one of the best Ive heard.

Cheers Mate, (although mine has nothin on yours ) LOL - My missus was driving my car one night and I was riding shotgun when she went straight down a gutter without turning on an angle - when your car is exactly 100mm off the ground thats not good... The front bar CRUNCHED hard and I swore black and blue at her... She cried and I felt like an a**hole, but she's never done it since

Im not saying that the guys at Northwest tyres are dodgy or anything. Im saying that tyres can be destroyed by users even without showing signs of wear, if the person who bought and used the tyres before you did a burnout on them when they were brand new then the compound will be no good as doing that sort of thing kills the tread compound. Also the tyres could have defects in the carcass such as spread or broken cords which wont show up unless the tyre is fitted and inflated and sometimes wont show up straight away, it can take a few km's before you see a buldge in the tread or sidewall. Also the tyres may have been used under inflated which stresses the cords and sidewall construction inside the carcass causing premature wear and internal damage, sometimes if the tyre has had this happen for even a couple of hundred km's it may weaken the casing meaning that there is an increased chance of puncture. Good luck with them though, I honestly hope that you got a good set

Thanks but that doesnt help me very much...

Just making sure...

Youre such a knob Steve... Im in.

Just remember that it wasnt ONLY SAU NSW that made it happen...

By the way, I need a spray painter to paint my new "Aero" mirrors... Any suggestions?

Is that the same Kate who had an R33 Gtst then a Soarer Turbo? Why would she now be driving a Holden ute!?

Im not like that Steve... Plus the Goodyears will probably destroy themselves anyway, so why should I do it Seriously though, I hope you do get a good set Chris (CeJay).

No problem, you dont have to choose Federal's. I wont tell you what I have heard about the Goodyear Eagle F1's though.

Hi Why the sudden interest in Canberra?
