I still don't understand why people insist on asking for other peoples opinions about their new wheels or their new kit asking for opinions...?

How about next time you say, "Hey everyone check out my new wheels", rather than "What do you think".

If you ask for an opinion you will always get soneone saying nah they suck then you get all defensive or as we have seen in past threads then the person sells them cause they listen to other opinions...

I love seeing what people do to their cars, I don't have to like it to be interested, but if you ask for an opinion you will get one, and usually not what you were hoping for...

Getting people to like your choice is just a unnecessary validation...

Oh yeah the rims, nup don't like em, too heavy, average slivr or chrome... you will blend into the scenery...

+1! Finally some common sense

Jonzie26 = I take it from your join date you're relatively new here, now I have no idea about your technical knowledge on cars in general, but the comments made by other guys here about the weights of rims is merely coming from the experience and knowledge they have about the general weights of different sizes of wheels, knowledge they have probably picked up along the way by spending time on these forums and soaking up the wealth of information that can be had here if you look in the right places.

I used to have no clue about cars, now I have done a lot of DIY stuff like fitting my snorkel with fmic piping, making a second c.a.i aswell, repainting my worn interior trims, sevicing and maintaining it etc the list goes on, all thanks to skylines australia.

Don't worry if sometimes members here can come across as cynical, it's mostly in jest :blink:

goodluck with the wheels, you obviously chose them because they appealed to you which is the most important thing, making your car how you like it.

as said above if you ask someone's opinion on something don't always expect it to be favourable, you should see the r32/r33 camps go on about which car is better, silly if you ask me... r34s are miles in front :P .

Thanks yo-yo

I personally got in contact with Koya. before the other fella on hear did and he has guananted me the weigths. he told the weight for all four dieeferent tyres. so i know that i am right. Yeah your right i am new on hear but i know a lot about my cars. in the process of fixing up my commodore so that it can be sold. I was just purely asking people (strangers) about what they though about them. but then they just evolved and kept asking questions. oh well. at the end of the day i am still going to get those wheels. jist becasue i want my car to look the way that i want it.

    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works! 
    • So, when are you trying the new GR86 or BRZ?
    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
