Bought in early February and the first thing i wanted to do was change the wheels. Treads was gettin thin on the rears so i figure why bother just gettin tyres ill go the whole hog n got the wheels aswell. They're called Vertini Hennesseys from Vertini's new range. I bought them from Ozzy Tyres apparently its the first set they've sold.

There 19 x 8.5s all round. The rears could do with a bigger offset or could of staggered them but I do too many k's to not be able to rotate my tyres. I got Marongoni(sp?) tyres with them and a free set of locking wheel nuts. All up it cost me $3100

get some hub spacers for the back :)

Love the apec apaches, too... Tough looking wheels and not pricey at all!

Id run staggered fitment but need all the same dimensions due to atessa system.

When my front lip gets fitted it will make them look a little smaller. I understand what your sayin bout the size but yer i love em :) Are hub spacers legal? if they are i might look into that..

It is a gtst lol...its got all the gtr guards n wing n everything. The previous owner was a gtr freak lol its even got gtr on the keys. The lip should be here in a couple of days..

Hub spacers not legal, but neither are those rims: so it doesn't really matter :cheers:

Both front and rear rims need a bigger offset. With the GTR guards you could have gone with a deeper dish all round: 19x9.5 (all round). Those rims would sit fine on a GTST with std guards.

LOOK CLOSER!! Wider guards front and back plus smaller side indicator = GTR..

Wheels look GREAT Coxy..

Enjoy

Lol its actually a GTST but it does have all the wider guards n etc. Aestetically its a gtr but performance wise its a very stock gtst :thumbsup: The badges are stayin on for now because if it fools people who love the cars then the average onlooker won't know the difference lol.

Thanks for the comments guys much appreciated :(

      I recently got their dbw 74mm throttle body and pedal kit. It is sensational quality especially the wiring harnesses. Unfortunately I can’t answer u about the fitment to stock inlet manifold as I’m going Rahjab Racing forward plenum. Only one thing to be careful of is understand u have to pay gst and import fees if your purchase is over $1,000 in one shipment.

      yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.
