adamskill Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 hey guys, when i imorted my 32 gtst it came with 17x9 rays nismo LM GT1 rims. i love them, i would never have thought i would end up with a set, as most people who have commented on them have said how hard they are to come by. im just interested to know a bit more about them. does anyone know if nissan use them on a certian race or production car at any point in time? cheers adam Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/251994-rays-lm-gt-1-rims/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bliksem Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 (edited) I have the same wheels but LM-GT2's only difference is the amount of dish.

Fastrotor Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I was going to say, gee they look exactly like my LM-GT2's ... Thanks for the clarification MintR33 ! They are an awesome looking rim. I have them for my circuit racing, love the look... make the car look so much tougher than the VOLK multispoke rims i use for street...

Nissan/Nismo would have used them on their Skylines/Fairladies (Z cars) with their racing events like with the R34 GTR and the 350Z JGTC, they use Nismo LMGT4's. I would keep them for sure. Also Revhed01 has a set of White Nismo LMGT2 wheels and looks very nice.

Bliksem Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 All I did for mine was seperate the centres and had them sand blasted and powder coated. You should be able to find a Nismo sticker on the internet, take that to a sticker place and get some copies made up Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/251994-rays-lm-gt-1-rims/#findComment-4363841 Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamskill Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 how much did that set you back mate? if you dont mind me asking. what was the finished product like?

Bliksem Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 As good as new, it was cheap, only about $100. Just give yourself a full afternoon to seperate the wheels though it takes alot longer than you'll think. I planned on getting the middle part machined back to silver and then doing everything in clear but didnt end up doing the machining. Make sure you get the clear though, they recommended it to prevent fading, stone chips etc. Its not much extra either.

GTRsean Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Had these for over two years now. They suit the 32's! These are 18x10's all round. Only problem I have had is the inner rim cracking, from fatigue crappy Sydney roads etc. Got em de buckled, rewelded and machined. Running 265 35R18 tyres all round, as I was running 255 35's, too stretched lol.

DaveO74 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Got LM GT1's on my 33 . I tried to get a spare back in 2001 (Scraped a gutter) and was told that it would be almost impossible so I agree, EXTREMELY RARE rims nowdays Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/251994-rays-lm-gt-1-rims/#findComment-4609492 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only problem is that if these crack again they can't be fixed, so it's gonna be hard to find the 'right' wheels for the beast.

Steve - Toy 32 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Bought my car about 3 months ago and they came with the same kinda rims, was just wondering if they are original LMGT 1's or 2's because i cant find any on the net that come in 16"s without the dish. also wondering what they are roughly worth.
