Item:

Volk GT-C 18x8 +36 18x9 +36 w/ 225/45R18 Yokohama DNA GP @ 80%

Location: Gailes QLD

Website:

Item Condition: 9/10

Reason for Selling: Would prefer Gunmetal & 10" for rear.

Price and Payment Conditions: $3000 w/ tyres & lug nuts (lug nuts brand new), $2600 w/o tyres.

Extra Info:

Can supply brand new centrecaps (was going to keep them for the next set, but will buy another set if it means a sale) $200.

One rim has a small defect that I'm going to be having repaired this week. I thought I'd polish out a scratch not realising they had a clear coat and rubbed through the clearcoat with 1500 grit sandpaper. Can see my thread about it in the tech section. I'll be having them refinished (remachined & cleared) by depulu wheels on the gold coast. This will be costing me around $80. If you want to pick them up before I get the repair done take $100 off the asking price, and you can have them recleared yourself.

Apart from that, the rims are in otherwise excellent condition. There is no gutter rash at all. One of the 'volk racing' stickers is missing little bits and pieces.

Few initial pics, I'll get one of the volk racing sticker today.

Do not bother low balling me. I bought these rims around 9 months ago (fresh from japan) and still haven't got to use them as my car is currently off the road. I don't intend to lose alot of money on these and will keep them if I cant get my money back out of them.

Picture of the rim that I'll have refinished, or you can get refinished and pay $100 less. Depulu quoted me $78 to machine the surface (get rid of the old clear) and then reclear it. Turn around of around two days. I'll probably take this down to them monday unless someone says they want the rims as is, before then.

Ah right! Price drop! 2800 inc. brand new centrecaps, lug nuts, tyres, the whole lot. The catch. One rim has one mismatched bolt. Wouldn't know if it wasn't pointed out, or you didn't look from inside the rim. Heads more or less the same, however, the nut on the back side is larger then the rest. Sent the rim away to Depulu Wheels on the Gold Coast to have one of the lips repolished. They returned it to me with the mismatched nut saying nothing about it. Called them today and they said that the original sheered when torquing it up, and they couldn't source one. Not only that, there is now a solitary scratch across one of the spokes, look like it may have been caused by a stanley knife or something, not very obvious (ie cant see it in pics or from more then a couple of metres away) however, it is there. Highly recommend anyone doesn't use Depulu for wheel repairs. The fact they try to hide damage they caused shits me off more then the damage itself as its quite minor.

Won't be using them again at any rate.

Will entertain near offers guys. Dogs gotten sick with mange or something so now I gotta foot the vet bill :( And my car is at least two months off of running, and I have another set of rims layin around anyway.

I couldn't personally tell you. If your local to me your more then welcome to come test fit them though. If it helps, I ran 16" r33 rims on my car for a while. They fit like such - http://members.optusnet.com.au/qikmr2/mr2drags.jpg

I'll try find some info for you though, if your interested.

From the registry on this site:

Skyline model = R33 GTST

wheel type= advan racing series 1 tri spoke

Wheel diameter = 17"

Wheel width = 8" front 9" Rear

Wheel offset = +35 Front +35 Rear

Tyre size = 235/45/17 Front 235/45/17 Rear

Modifications to fit: none

Basically exact same offset and width, so I assume these would be fine.

I thought MR2 was front wheel? :S

Anyways coming to sydney any time soon? Thought id throw out a feeler.. As im keen but un-keen because your in woop woop from me.

Nope, mr2 is rear wheel drive, mid mounted engine (basically FWD style setup, but in the back). Unfortunately no to the Sydney. My gf has relatives in Orange NSW and she wanted to go there for christmas, however, she failed to tell me with enough time to make arrangements, ie, annual leave etc.

Hey mate,

I've been having a look around and I think the wheels will fit fine. There will also be no issues with brake clearance. These are a high disk offset and fit cars with large brembo's etc from the factory.

7.5 +40 is apparently the factory wheel size and offset. Going off this the front wheels will stick out 10mm more then the factory fronts & the rear wheels will stick out 19mm more then the factory rears. Usually there is alot of room between the factory guards and stock wheels.

Know someone going to Sydney boxing day who could probably deliver otherwise I could have them freighted.

Cheers,

James.

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
