hey all..

im trying to find what rims were available in 1989 when the r32's were just brought out... the look im going for is ol skool drift.. no outrageous body mods, big wings, etc... and no 18" flashy rims.. just plain and simple.. like an ae86 with longchamps or a dr30 with watanabes

back then, 17's were considered huge so 16-17s will be my limit... i like the ssr mesh type but the missus says they are fugly.. ive flicked through all my hpi mags etc but they are late 90s/early 2000s onwards..

anyone got any other ideas?? or pics of old school 32s??

cheers

lol

why don't you grow some nuts and get the good looking rims you want (which ssr are) instead of worry about what your missus thinks? unless it's half her car aswell or something?

because its just easier if shes happy with them too, i dont have to hear about how dumb she thinks it looks, she doesnt mind the bbs wheels above... but the ssr's she just doesnt like.

the problem with those blitz wheels, and the old enkei 3 piece ones... is the outer lip is like 2" thick (not deep)... reducing the overall diameter of the spokes... making the wheel look smaller and chunkier.

cheers for the help guys.

i like the volk gtp's but havent found any to have the offset that im after except straight from yahoo japan... but there are soo many better rims for the money if im going to that expense of getting them shipped... there were another set of volks that were 5 spoke i think they were called "challenge"?? im not sure, i had some of them but they were very skinny.

haha, habibs at maccas... very funny.

my mrs just doesnt get why i want to keep it in character... shed rather i got the same 18" work meisters that i had on my 33..

Digging up a slightly dated thread here. Tsuchiya was running around in his R32 GTR in the Shuto Kousoku Trial movies in the late 80's and Early 90's. They had AVS Model 6 rims with really rare and odd centre wheel covers.

    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
    • Shall we... wake you up when September ends?  
    • I got the Repco video recommended on YouTube.  
    • Welcome Mark. Do you have a Skyline or are you looking to get one?
