Ok I see your car is white....well I reckon you should dice those 2 you selected and go stealth.

Try the apache wheels from TRYDIS' suggested website...www.stgeorgetyres.com.au

I did a kwik 2 minute cut and paste for ya...wheel angles aren't right but it gives you a good indication anyway.

The gold version aint bad either!!

Drifters use so many different types of wheels on their cars, how can you classify a single style of wheel as being 'drift style'? Just like the 'drift wing'? Whatever....

For what it's worth, although the mesh would be harder to clean as has already been mentioned, they do look classier. Just promise that the offsets are suitable for RWD cars... :happy:

I dig those.

just out of general interest, what colour rims do you guys think would suit a gunmetal grey R33?

I was leaning towards some charcoal or black rims with polished lip?

like mine?? i should be getting them fitted today 18" 265/35 on the rear and 245/35 on the front

yeah im gunna go with the m190s

they have a big dish on em 2 so i think it will look hot as, i was thinkin of goin gold but the only ones i like are the speedy one with the gold centre and crhome lip, but because of the way they are made the rear brakes wont fit in 18s so id have to get 19s and they are 550 just for a wheels each.

so fark that, but with gmax 190s, he has an over stock, so he'll do em heap as and he also sponsered me in last years auto salon with my astra SRI turbs, so i know him pritty well,

anyway thnks for your help guys

i just got a new set of wheels and tyres last week and need some advice.

235/40/R18 front

265/35/R18 rear

does it matter if the overall diameter of the front and rear tyres are different, i'm still on stock standard suspension. i'm worried that the difference in diameter will affect the drive and the height of the car.

cheers

From the tyre calculator: 235/40 goes best with 265/35 as there is minimal diameter difference. Not sure in other states but in QLD overall diameter difference must not be more than 15mm.

Speedo does go out but very minimally for the below combos.

Stock Tire - 225/45R17 >Search Tires Tire 1 - 235/40R18 >Search Tires Tire 2 - 265/35R18 >Search Tires

Rim Diameter: 17 in 431.8 mm

Rim Diameter: 18 in 457.2 mm

Rim Diameter: 18 in 457.2 mm

Overall Diameter: 24.97 in 634.23 mm

Overall Diameter: 25.40 in 645.16 mm

Overall Diameter: 25.30 in 642.62 mm

Actual Speed: 60 mph 100 km/h

Speedometer1: 58.9 mph 98.3 km/h

Speedometer1: 59.2 mph 98.7 km/h

Speedometer Difference: - Speedometer Difference: 1.722% too slow Speedometer Difference: 1.313% too slow

Diameter Difference: - Diameter Difference: 1.7% Diameter Difference: 1.31%

It dosen't really matter on a rear wheel only drive car but it does depend moreso on the series of tyre you are using on the rear in comparison to what you had on the car before you got the 18s.

I first had 255/45/17 on the rears of the car then I went to 245/35/19 and it was the worst mistake I ever made plus the speedo was about 4-6 km/h out.

Now I've gone back to 17s and the ride is much better once again.

    • Nah, yeah, nah. Speakers have a nominal impedance of 8 ohm that looks more like 6.4 ohm when measured. The receiver's amplifiers (all channels) are all rated to 6 ohm (I think, it's been a long time since I cared). The real problem is that many modern class D amps have aggressive protection circuitry that cuts off the fun if they think too much current is being drawn. And with my speakers having series crossovers, as opposed to more typical parallel crossovers, and big TL enclosures, they can certainly dip down to lower impedances at some frequencies and that easily triggers the protection. Pioneer receivers are somewhat famous for it, but even Denon, Onkyo, et al, all have many complaints against them across various models. It only does it when listening to music at high levels. You have to be putting your ears at risk to do it. But sometimes I want to do that. If I was serious about using it as a listening room I'd simply upgrade the amp for the front pair to a nice Rotel or something, and just use the receiver for signal handling and processing - although that would be a bit of a pain in the arse too. Have to switch on more shit, pre-amp volume vs main amp volume, etc etc.
    • yeah pretty much, stopped playing after lightfall, couldnt be bothered with the final shape...  ran that game into the ground for years... bit of a shame.. the  story was awesome. was playing a lot of trials but the hackers became tooo much, ruined the game.

    • I reckon you are 100% right on the money. The only reason I bought Red Sport instead of the base VR30 is that I am investigating racing it in Production Cars, and they require you to run a (mostly) standard car....therefore knowing exactly what was in the RS spec was important to me and I paid the extra. Other than that, for sure I would have pocketed the $10k and spent them on mods instead. Plus the non-RS models are more likely to have had a nicer life prior. Just a warning though, mods always cost twice as much as they look like they will on paper BTW you should also consider the 400R imports, they are about the same price as a local RS but 5+ years newer. Of course that comes with the usual warnings about finding parts, unhelpful nissan dealers and finding insurance
