Jealousy is not really the issue in most cases. Some cars with 19 inchers just look stupid. Get an escalade if you want bling bling. Ppl will vandalise it, cops will bust you and other import drivers will think your an idiot.

Id say go for something that performs like you want it, lightweight is better but also more expensive and dont make it too overstated.

well if you ever saw my car up close with the 20s you would change ur opinion. depends of the car as a whole. if its just a stock out of the box job with huge wheels, chances are its guna look tacky

dont bring your stupid 'your mum' jokes in here.

he asked for comments on rims, you said you like big chrome rims, most others on here said they didnt like big chrome rims.

no need to whinge over it, just deal with it.

i personally dont like big chrome rims either, i myself have 17x9" rear and 17x8" front white sparco rims on my skyline.

*Ahem* ricer *Cough cough* j/k

The whole 19 and pimpin thing just doesnt do it for me * pun intended* :(.

Must be the whole thing about spending more on the body kit than you do on the rest of the car. Thats just me though.

I like you car, but am not a fan of huge chromies.

I would prefer a set of dark spoked rims with a polished dish, in 18" or even 19". 20" is just too big and totally unpractical.

At the end of the day it is your car, take pride in it and enjoy it for what you made it into.

My 19's have the same rubber profile as 18's, so my ride quality is not compromised, but admittantly i do loose off line performance and some handling, but that's why i have 17's for the track :(. The 270rwkw helps to get the car moving :lol:

Here is a pic of my 'line, wheels aren't dished :(, but i still love 'em :P.

    • Alright guys, I've got good odds the motor survives due to a majority of spare parts. Who's taking bets on clutch, who's on transmission, and who's go diff? Happy to also take bets on if it still overheats in traffic or not 😛     Car looks amazing by the way. I've never been a fan of R34 rears, so really, I don't think any body kit etc solves that for myself, but the front end looks amazing!
    • As an ex-skyline owner Going off how these things are now "modern classics", I would keep the twins and just "refresh" bits that are required for reliable power and have a car you can take out for a cruise whenever you get the itch As a idiot who cannot leave things alone Going deep into the "rabbit hole" is a easy thing to do, as previously mentioned, once you start it becomes a slippery slope, wirh lots of supporting mods, and possibly rebuilds, and unless you have a bottomless pit of funds, the car can spend most of its life sitting in the garage,  broken, waiting for parts, or building more funds For a classic like a R32 GTR Basically, a reliable OEM+ refresh, that isn't a broken garage queen, is alot better than a car that you build, then break, then fix, then break again And it isn't just the engine you need to worry about, these beasties are getting on in age, and all parts are getting, and have got, expensive, the days of picking up cheap replacement engines and other driveline parts are well and truly over The funds not spent on going a single with quality parts, and with all the other other bits required to make it happen, could be spent on refreshing alot of other parts A wise man once said "If you cannot afford 2 GTR's, you cannot afford 1", I also believe he said this about 20 years ago when you could pick up a clean R32 GTR up for around $20k My advice for a R32 GTR (the one and only true Godzilla in my mind) is to think holistically about the whole car, the body, the power train, the suspension, the brakes, and the driveline SAU is a wealth of knowledge with decades of Skyline experience,  from stock, to OEM+, to modified to varying degrees, to full on or weekend or dedicated racecars, as well as full on money pits that rarely leave their garage Treat the old girl nice and give her what she deserves, you are a lucky man to own such a classic car  
    • For that price you could buy the hypergear turbo (big fan as I run one) and the Haltech ECU..
    • +1 for the Elite 2500. Get some new knock sensors while you are at it (pretty cheap), look up the TAARKS Nissan knock sensor kit. You may also want to get new coils (R35gtr) while your at it (assuming your on stock ones), as they are a liability. Mine started right up and idled fine on the base map. Also go MAP over MAF, as said above, Haltech make this super simple right out the box. Another fanboy of DBW here, Outsider Garage from your neck of the woods make some nice conversion gear for the R33 (that’s where I got some of my gear from).
