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.

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
