Hi people

I got some 18'' mags with pretty close to new tyres on them. less than 200km on the tyres.

235/40/R18 Zetum tyres all around

Selling because I was told these mags came off an R33 - failed to mention I would need a 5mm spacer and to flare the front guards to make them fit.

so now I just want to recover mostly the cost of the tyres so I can get some new tread on my stock rims.

I don't know much about wheels, so I cannot offer any offset insight - there are some numbers inside the mags I could get a photo of if anyone thinks they might be the offset figures.

I'm pretty sure they'll need a balancing - can see where some of the little weights have come off already.

I'd like to get $800 for the mags/tyres - open to reasonable offers.

Found the thread I got these tyres from -

where they were listed as:

JDM Deep Dish 18 inch Mags (Rear: 18x9.5)

If my memory serves correctly the fronts aren't as wide as the rears - I wanna say 8.5, could have been 8 (tyre monkey told me amidst a bit of a ramble)

Bump

Any offers at all - I'd consider trading for stock rims with good rubber or something to that effect

I'd even consider trading for fmic setup for r33 + cash my way, or cat back exhaust + cash my way (assuming sub $500 value)

don't be shy, I'll consider any offer

the back wheels fit an R33 perfectly

the front wheels need a 5mm spacer (illegal) and maybe some guard work.

I drove it for about 2 hours in total with the front wheels on - there's this corner in front of my drive-way which causes something to scrub somewhere around the front passenger wheel - I'm not sure if it's the tyre scrubbing on the guard or if my front bar was hitting the road, my driver side guard has been flared a tiny bit from a small ding just below the headlight and the scrubbing never happened on that side, so it could be something as easy as that.

You're welcome to come have a look, I'd be happy to put them on the car and show you exactly what scrubbing I'm talking about.

i wish i could but im in townsville

Number from inside the front mags:

30

18x8

and I can't be stuff taking the back wheels off to check them

PRICE DROP $800 Now $700 ono

Edited by Raven33

I'm not sure how they would go on a 34 - you're welcome to come over and see if they fit.

Here is a link to a forum thread about wheel sizes & offsets for Skylines - if what I think are the offset details on the front mags is correct then there's a good chance they'll fit

As for painting them, there are some guides in the DIY section that cover painting mags - doesn't seem to be too hard a job, more a test of patience

Here is a link to a guide on these forums.

    • I'm interested if anyone agrees with what you've said, and can give a good reason. Temperature of powder coating should be below any temperature you'd use to alter the wheel structure.  Powder coat typically 200 to 250. Annealing if that's what people are claiming would be occuring, starts at 300, and depending on the alloy, can need even up at 400+.   That's the only part I can think of that could cause an issue that people are believing it's from the rim losing hardness and becoming too soft.
    • Negative probe should be on the cars chassis. Positive on the wire.   Start as said above by unplugging everything (unplug the lights, and switches. Now at the switch, there is a wire from the fuse, to the switch, so out your positive on that terminal. It should read open circuit. If it reads something, especially a stupid low value, the short is somewhere between the fuse and the switch. If that's fine, now put the positive probe on the wire that goes to the headlight (at the switch plug). If it reads stupid low, the fault is from the switch, to the headlight.   Another quick test, is take the whole LED light setup from the left, and plug it into the right side, does it still blow the fuse? If you put the right hand side led light setup on the left hand side wiring, does the left hand side wiring now blow?  If the blowing fuse swaps from right to left doing this, your LED lights are the issue.
    • Anyone know if it's a problem to powder coat forged alloy wheel centers (Rays/Volk GT-C). some say it's bad and can damage the alloy, some say it's not a problem.
    • Hey guys, I'm reviving an old post but I'm finally getting around to working on this now. I removed the battery to get a better look at the wires and i traced the wires from the headlight to the fuse box in the engine bay, but the wiring looks fine? The wiring for the R/H headlight is 3 wires and then is bundled up with the large diameter wire that goes underneath the fuse box. I didn't take it apart yet. I know you said that its a short circuit somewhere between the fuse box and the headlight. But could it be the headlight switch on the dash? Also, i pulled out my multi-meter and set it on the Ohms, but i'm not sure where to put the negative probe and the positive probe.     
    • I have a 2 lt in Sydney. It was fitted on a R33 GTR, not used for several years . If you are interested email me on: [email protected] I'm not on this forum much .
