Nismo Lmgt4

[danr]

Hiya all,

I've just taken these mags off my car and i was told they were genuine nismo LMGT4's (17x9) but regardless of this the wheels didn't fit my GTR (spacers, apparently they're a 30 offset, suited for gsts and silvias), i've had them replaced and now im just trying to identify them. Does anyone have LMGT4s, that can tell me what to look for? cant see any nismo badging, they've got the nismo decal ofcourse, but nothing to suggest the brand by any casting information on the mags.

thanks in advance.

Mate I have LMGT4's on my GTT. (F 17 x8.5 x 35, R 17 x 9.5 x 38) They do not have any Nismo stamp on them other than the face decal. They should have a Rays sticker on the inside telling you size and offset. It is the spoke pattern that makes them Nismo LMGT4's nothing else. They should be able to be lifted with the little finger (wheel only) as they are forged monobloc construction hence the lightness. Rays make them for Nismo.

From my Nismo catalogue they should weigh about 7.7 kg bare so 11 with rubber is about right. Also details on size and offset can be had from the Nismo site. Scroll down until you get to section 4. It is in Japanese but sizes are in English. Fairly easy to interpret.

But to give you some idea, the R34 GTR requires an offset of 12 if the wheel is a 17 x 9.5. The wheels you have would suit an R33 GTST and maybe some others.

Cheers and hope that helps

awsome, thanks mate,

unfortunately they're not genuine they havent got the "made in japan" and the decal seems a bit smaller on these, and they were also missing the rays brand, which got me suspicious in the first place. The mags i just got put on are drifteks and they seem to have the same badging, seems these ones are just drifteks + nismo sticker. Im planning on selling them, just wanted to confirm authenticity.

cheers guys!

hey guys, they will be nowhere near 11 with tyres. tyres weigh a lot more than 4-5 kgs more like double that, i weighed a lm-gt4 17 by 7.5 with tyre and it was 16.5kg. your being 9inch wide should be a couple of kg more than that.

attached is a pic of bronze gt4

Gotta admit I was only guessing on the rubber content. Apologies all round if I have misled anyone.

for comparison ill add that standard 16 by 6.5inch r33 rims with tyre are approx 21kg depending on the type of tyre, so the gt4s which are one inch wider and larger are 4.5-5kg less each than even standard 16s! damn light.

[Gts-t]

Hey guys i have a set of these wheels and S-03 rubber.

The wheels is 7.4kgs, and the tyre 12kg

Hope that helps!

LOL...i bought LMs because everyone bats off to how light they are

Imagine my surprise to find my WEDS are lighter

[scathing]

Does anyone have LMGT4s, that can tell me what to look for? cant see any nismo badging,

As per the pic, they should have "FORGED MONOBLOCK" on raised writing between two of the spokes.

I think my 18x7.5 is ok at 7.4kgs, how light are the WEDS? Are they 18s?

Cheers roy

[Roy]

Only 17s...dont knwo what they weigh. Never put them on the scales..but was recently rotating the road tyres and semi slicks on them and the WEDS were lighter based on the left hand, right hand comparison

[discopotato03]

I have those 5 spoke wheels on my R33 , 17 x 8.5 x 30P . Stickers inside rim are Rays Engineering . Between the spokes they have Forged Monoblock on them . Also have Made In Japan cast into them as well .

Cheers .
