I have two sets of AVS rims, both the same sizes.

One set of gold AVS Model 6 wheels (latest style), and a set of silver Model 5 wheels (older style).

Im looking at selling one set now, and leaving the other set on the car for when i sell the car next year. So wanting to know what rim has the broadest appeal so that i can leave them on the car for when i sell it.

Thoughts ppl? I dont have a digi cam so these photos courtesy of other ppl are the best i can do.

Gold Model 6

Silver Model 5

I like the silver ones better myself.  I think they give it a classier look whereas the gold ones look more like you're out to do some bruising.

Just my humble opinion.

Actually, I prefer the gold ones, but wouldn't you get more selling them seperately then with the car?

Hey Roy,

Keep your model6's cause they're the same as mine! Look much better than the 5's. Looking at the pic they look like 17's? If you were to sell them seperately you'd get alot more for them. I bought mine 2nd hand and they were NOT cheap!

Also, whats the width of your goldies?

P.S: Sorry for bothering you about the intercooler last fortnight, i got it all sorted ;)

Fronts are 17 x7, rears 17 x 8. They are a good fit on an R32 GSTt, i imagine your 200SX could swallow a much bigger wheel ;)

I like both, though i suspect my Model 6s would look better if they were white against the silver bodywork...no need to apologise, wasnt any trouble, good to hear you got the problem sorted.

heeey that's my pic! :D

y'know, if you'd just showed pics of 2 types of rims, i would have said the silver ones straight away. But on your car, i like the gold ones...they actually made me think how nice your car looked, instead of it looking the same as every other silver R32 :)

    • I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.
    • Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!
    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
