What Rims?

[KatieIRL]

Hi folks,

new to the site. Rebuilding a r32 gtst. Its going away to the body shop shortly and just need to get a set of rims for it. Budget is about $2000 including tyres. Just want something nice to look at because we have a set of wheels already for the track.

We had never heard of Te37s untill we found replicas in a shop window but they seem to be the kinda wheel we want. And liking the ROTA P45Rs. But cant afford these at the mo. We deffo want white wheels.

can anyone suggest any others that might fit the bill other than the te37 reps and has anyone got te37 rep on their car???

Thanks for the help guys.

Hi Katie and welcome.

I've got Ozzy Tyres 032s for my 32 gtst. Mine are 18x8 all round but plan to put 18x7.5 on the front when I can afford them, just so the tyres protect the rim better.

I run 225/40 on front and 235/40 rear if your interested.

The pics are old ones, but I hope they give you an idea.

White Work Emotion Cr Kai's look very nice. if I was going with a white wheel (which I almost decided on) it would be this one.

And you can get them with or without the stickers.

Do it, it'll look killer.

Great choice for white. They look sexy on white cars. Like what Hank Scorpio said, your best bet would be Work CR KAI for your budget (but they're quite rare, the bronze 18s are normally around the 1.8k mark). Or you can try replicas/rota. But for 32s, I would recommend smaller spokes (CR Kai and the likes) due to the slickness of the car. The fatter spokes look better on fatter cars in general.

Thanks guys, some lovely wheels there. The car in question is blue, like THIS COLOUR. and its getting a vertex kit on it. The vertex kit seems to be pretty common out here but we plan on taking the car home and ive never seen a vertex kit there so that made our minds up. We were looking for the final konnection kit but couldnt get it made anywhere anyway what im trying to say is that the car isnt a straight and clean cut at the standard kit, its a bit more funky so thats why we thought the te37s looked good.

Has anyone any advise on the te37 reps? We have been quoted $1550 incl tyres, does that sound about right or did they hear the accent and try to rip us off?

Haven't heard of Rays Engineering Volk Racing TE37 wheels?!

One of the best wheels to come from Japan!

Yes there are fake TE37's and they will have Ravs Engineering Vork Racing Wheels - http://fakewheels.com/2009/04/vork-wheels-...ngineering-wtf/

When you were quoted $1550 incl tyres, were they the fake TE37's?

IF so that sounds ok...

New genuine TE37's can easily go for $3000+ a set of 4 wheels on its own, no tyres.

If your going drifting, get the fakes so you can thrash those around as you don't want to rip up the good genuine wheels.

White wheels will look good on Blue car.

I got white TE37's on Grey car.

Yea. Just go to www.nengun.com for some price indications for geniune Rays' wheel if you're interested. As the TE37 are 1 piece forged, they will be 1 of the top end product. As Skyline mention, I too agree 1550 incl. tyres are pretty good but then again, the quality of tyre plays a big part as well.

Currently I'm having LMGT4 with 285/35/18 bridgestone potenza which I bought from a guy in the forum. I didnt know the price of those tyres until I someone mention those rims would cost technically 1k with those tyres (those tyres are worth around 700each brand new and I paid 3.3k in total for the wheel). So even though it might sound like a good deal, just make sure those are quality tyres as I've said to everyone, your life depends on those rubber.

Skyline: I want your TE37!

Cheers!

I have a white set of Impul NS GT 2 on my R34, they look pretty good and are pretty light. 7.5 kilos per 18" wheel

[KatieIRL]

Oh they are lovely too, what ball park price are they? We want 18s aswell.

Thanks for all the help aswell people. Some really nice options.

Yeah I went to the Nengun website to check prices out too as it is pretty good and in AUS Dollars.

You want my TE37's... I guess we can sawp as I love LMGT4's.

You have Nismo LMGT4's!!!

They are the best wheels ever! Even though our wheels are made by the same company...

[Brandon]

The only reason why I prefer TE37 is because they come in 10.5 width. Those dish will look sick with a +22 offset. Mine's only got a bit of dish at 9.5" +15.

[Joe_89]

Ahhh come on brandon, yours have more dish than mine do lol damn GTS-T offsets

At least you dont have stickers that are peeling.

Not sure because my car came from Japan with them, but locally I think around 1800 with tires

in staggered fitment18"... 8.5 front, 9.5 rear with 38 offset I think, or maybe 83...something like that anyway.. fills the guards perfect without the cops giving you a second look, plus they clean up easy as hell

mine have blue alloy lug nuts , blue valve stems, to go with blue rotors and blue RDA disks so doesnt look too bad

245 on the front and 265 in the rear fit without ghey looking stretch
