They are great... Had two sets now.

My current white set are up for sale and look wild on a black vehicle. $900 buy them they are very clean only 8 months old. I need tyres for my 19;s

^^^ You deserve to be banned by associating Starcorp Impuls with that blue R34. Starcrop Impuls are cheap Tempe tyres shit, which are copied from Work Equips, which is what the blue R34 has. The Starcorp wheels are heavy as f**k, poor quality and come in shit house offsets (+38).

If you want good rims say no to Tempe Tyres and get some good Jap rims. Get some Work Equips if you must have this design

I had them in 18's on my Series 2 R33. They are very cheap, they are very heavy but otherwise they did the job well enough and looked a treat. I had them in Shadow Chrome. The offsets are shithouse and we had some issues clearing the guards in the rear with 265 rubber on the back (without wanting to roll the guards) but managed it in the end. I got mine for $1250 second hand from the Silvia Forums in excellent condition with new, but cheap shit Nankang, tyres.

Good for cheapies but I wouldn't be tracking/drifting them.

If you're more about the show they will be fine, if you care about go as well then you're losing a huge oppurtunity to dump some unsprung mass if you choose heavy rims.

Here's some pics of them on my car

WTF are you retards on about? Starcorp Impuls were designed for skylines.. Shit offsets my ass they sit right on the guards. Originally designed for R33's if you have something older then obviously it wont fit.

Yes jap rims are lighter.. They are the same strength it just takes more metal in the Starcorps to achive this.

Downside they are one peice so harder to fix. Drifting would be fine with Impuls however I wouldnt use some of the other thinner wheels.

Anyway like I said I have white ones..

post-a189620-2886721599-8410195bec.jpg FYI! On black.. BTW the white R34 looks HOT!

I Must add.. If you are worried about rim weight offset it with more power .. Then if you buy Jap rims you will have crazy acceleratioN!

Relax yourself you idiot, read the post before jumping to conclusions.. your arrogance should get your A$$ banned .. stupid ..

And skylinekid, im sorry for posting a pic of a R34, im sorry if i offended you.. sheesh.. relax.

Anyways, other than flaming -.- ..

Starcorps are pretty nice rims, only reason i picked them up was coz they were a pressie so i decided to whack them on, and have been with them since. Once i do the Turbo Conversion im looking into getting SSR's or Work's or even GTC's *drools*

theyre on every second skyline. it's almost as if they were a nissan factory option :bunny:

if anyone knows anything about wheels. when they see these, they know theyre cheap and nasty, and it degrades your car a bit.

most school girls however, will like them :bunny:

not to say no one should ever use them, especially if they were on your car, given to you, or you got them for amazingly cheap. but if you're about to pay for new wheels, add a bit extra $$ and buy some better ones. second hand, quality wheels are the way to go.

I'm not a fan of starcorp rims.

One guy I worked with had a set of his VY S pack Ute. After 3 weeks One split in half while he was doing 110kmph. The company he bought them from made him buy a whole new set cause they wouldn't refund his money or give him a replacement wheel.

Also, my boss asked me to put a set on his sons Hilux, as I was putting the last one on I accidentally tapped the wheel with the wheel brace. On a normal rims it wouldn't have done anything, but on these a big chuck (the size of a 20cent piece) of paint come off, about 4 layers deep :S

From then on they make my spew in my mouth a little when I see them. lol,

    • Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)
    • From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
