Looking to replace my stock wheels on my black (and completely stock) r34 gtt and I really like the look of some of the 10 spoke wheels .. plus everyone seems to have 5 spokes

Has anyone got a black gtt with a 10 spoke wheel set by any chance ? or have you seen pics posted of one anywhere on SAU ?

Tempe have these wheels that are 10 spoke but they only come in hyper silver ..no shadow chrome which is what I'd like http://www.tempetyres.com.au/products_clos...mp;part_no=1478

Do you think the car would look silly with 18" rims with 10 spoke design with stock suspension ? This is the look I'm after:

I just found these rims that look very similar to the ones pictured.. and the price is good. Anyone know if the RPM brand is any good or absolute shit? http://bigotyres.com.au/showcase/index.php...products_id=503

Before buying from tempe, or other local places, find out the offsets they come in.

You dont wanna be spending big money on rims with shit offsets which wont suit the car at all..

why not go with something like VOLK CE28N - 10 spoke, Jap light weight rim and probably is forged.

Or perhaps some WedSports. Most of them come in multispoke!!

But honestly i wouldnt buy anything from tempe

Edit: The r34 you attached - are those the new advans?

personally i think 10 spokes would look great on a 34. however it all depends on the offset ya get,how they sit on the car and your budget.

im a little biased as i like the look of mesh and multispke rather than the 5 spoke styles.

any japanese wheels will be 2-3x more exxy so are pretty much out of question unfortunately ..I'm not gonna buy from tempe because they're SOOO dodgy (I was in there today and god .,.I never wanna go back) Not sure if BigO's is any better ..

You can always buy 2nd from japan..

Will be from 1.5k to 2.4k MAX for a decent light weight rims.

i have seem some Ce28ns for 2k landed with rubber!!

Whats the price for rims if you buy here locally? as in from tempe etc..

i bought 2nd hand ssr's from japan that were in showroom condition for the same price i paid for my brand new aussie wheels... and the jap ones had way better rubber!

    • For the record, I hate the colour. Even if I'll never see it again, I know its in there.
    • This is another issue I'm fixing. This little valve stops all the oil from draining to the sump when the engine is turned off. What happens eventually is that the engine is a little noisy and has the oil pressure light on for a few seconds after turning it on. Basically it takes a few seconds to build the pressure when all the oil has drained. This valve is a non serviceable part and is attached to the oil filter housing, BMW suggests to replace the entire housing if this valve fails.  As it turns out this valve can be removed and that means you can get an aftermarket replacement, which I did. The failure, for me at least is that the valve doesn't seat properly after a while, which I've demonstrated. The new one is a ball end and always seats properly. 
    • Welp don't know if this is good but I can hear a sizzling sound in my battery Hope I didn't fry it. Turns out a bad battery in the multi meter will give a false reading (likely what happened when I said I had 15x volts), swapped the battery and monitoring now. I'm hoping that sizzling sound is just the equlisation charging
    • Yeah I'm happy to talk to whoever, I don't want to take ownership or even manage it if they don't want but I can probably help with hosting on the sau setup. It's a great resource and should be protected.
    • So, got some bits..   New oil filter housing gasket (main problem I'm trying to fix -see leak above)  While you're in there's: New belts, pulley and tensioners.  Vanos oil line New oil drain valve New water pump and pulley  New fumoto valve (all my cars have these). Some of this stuff seems ok now that I've pulled it out but I still have no idea how old it all is.  The belts looked fine and then I noticed this. Like somebody has hooked it with a pick.
