white te37's :(

and i also dont mind the look of the white starcorp impuls (although i dont think they are japanese)

na, TE-37's look shite on gts-t's / gtt's, not enough offset to get depth into the spokes. GTR only, same with LM-GT4's

m2 hanbais dt05r in gunmetal. 18x9 +20 all round.

work meister s1 2 or 3 piece. 18x9 & 18x10.

work cr kai - 18x8.5 & 18x9.5.

work xd9 - 18x9 & 18x10.

desmond regamaster - 18x9 +20 all round.

any of those fron the top of my head and sizes close to those will be good as.

No, no they don't. Dezz has a set of them in 18's on his car and they look the shiz! I get all jealous everytime I see them :(

But yeah, +1 for SSR Professor SP1's. Real nice set of rims!

+20 would u have to make a few modifications to fit these offset, this is gtr territory isnt it?.

yer xd9s i like the look of, but i dont mind spending a bit of cash on forged stuff

ther is a user on here named blags who has xd9s on his 33 and the rears have a bit of dish looks mint

The difference between the gtst and the gtr should give you a clue as to what design of wheel would look better.

Because the gtst does not have the "phatness" of the gtr, Wheels with big dish go a long way to enhancing the appeal of the gtst from a looks perspective.

The gtr can get away with far less dish by virtue of its already phat look.

Wheels like meisters and starcorp impulse transform the skinny arsed gtst in to a car with way more street presence.

    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position. 
    • You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
