Hey Guys,

When I bought my 32 GT-R it came with what appears to be 'Apexi' wheels and although I have done some looking I could only ever find one picture on google images from the states.

they are 17x9 with a bit of dish, there is a pic attached of what they look like.

Can anyone tell me anything about these wheels ?

Cheers,

Mitch.

the centercaps on my s2000 say honda, but if you take off the wheel and look inside one of the spokes it says 'made by enkei'. Apexi probably contracted those out to a company known for building wheels.

Yeah it has "desmond" and then the dimensions on the inside and "made in japan" stamped into the wheel itself.

they are 17 x 9jj +17

very nice specs

Yeah, they fill the guards nicely, although im considering spacers, maybe 5 - 10 mm then it will be fully flush if not overflush :thanks:

Yeah im not sure with the story behind the wheels, but i think they are cool Lol.

Hey mate, the offset on mine is 9JJ + 17

It fits pretty damn well on my 32 GT-R if I were to space them it would probably starting pushing them outside the guard.

Can get you a pic if you like.

As promised, you will have to forgive the height and condition of the car, its undergoing some cosmetic work at the moment (OEM sideskirts :))

Had suds on it from washing it at the time.

    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
