Hi Folks :rolleyes:

I'm looking into getting some Wedsport TC105N's shipped down to Melbourne, but don't seem to know any one who could get me these wheels here.

If you know an company/business or individuals who specialise in this field and most imporantantly, are reasonable people who don't take much commission, please let me know.

Cheers

These are the wheels I'm after.

Are you searching for the wheels online?

OR

Have you already found them and need someone to transport them to Melbourne from another state or another country?

If you're reffering to yahoo auctions, no i haven't found them online.

I need some one who could purchase these wheels from Japan (from the factory or wheel shops) and get them shipped here.

By the way folks, if there are any others that know those who are in this business, please do let me know.

I don't want to be limited on one person, i would be going for the person who takes the least commission.. Thanks.

After weeks of trying to find some rims that would suite the color and the lines of my car, i decided to settle for 18" Gravity Gullflame in Gold colour, 9.5" wide.

It's really essential for me to get the widest tyres available for a R33 GTST, so i was thinking 275's at the back and 245's at the front.

The 9.5" width rims come in these offsets: +15, +25 and +35

.. and the 8.5" width rims come in these: +25 and +35

Should I go both front and rear the same width rims? or Should i perhaps go 8.5" for fronts?

What is the ideal offset for front and rear wheels?

Do you think i could get same offset rims for front and rear on a gtst?

I want these wheels to exact like the ones you see in the top pic.

Help me plzzz..

+1 for Aaron giving the best rimjobs in town.

He's a giant among oompa-loompas. Landed my Advan RS rims before any other chump had them in Aus, and at a good price.

Or - for stuff that's bigger than wheels, speak to Deb at Aust-Orient Motorsports Logistics.

She helps us and our customers ship cars and bikes world-wide.

Pics?

Well i think you will probably have trouble fitting 9.5" rims on the front.

My 32 has 17x8 +25 on the front and 17x9 +35 on the back, and they really only just fit.

R33's have a bit more room apparently though.

Thanks James, much appreciated. :thumbsup:

I can't really make up my mind between those pictured TC105N's above or these different sets i found later on.

If i have to go for TC105N's (as pictured above) i would need to get them both front and rear 9.5" with a +10 offset. If i go for 8.5" with a 32" offset, they have a different face called FACE:R and it doesn't look like the one above.

I really need to know if 9.5" would fit in 33's, don't mind if it rubs innder guards on full lock as I'll try to avoide sharp u-turns most of the times.

    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch
