ROH Drift R wheels

[HSVKLR]

Hey guys, keen in getting a set of these rims but have a few questions:

* Where can i buy a set in Sydney?

* How much would a set of 17x8s retails for?

* Would 17x8 fit under my 2inches lowered R32?

* Any recommendations on some good rubber to get? Ive been told Falken make some good high performance tyres.

* What profile rubber would i need? Ive currently got 225/50 16inch but would like to jump to 235/? Would 235 wide rubber fit beneath my guards?

Any help is much appreciated.

I'd go 235/40ZR/17 Falken Azenis or if your on a budget, FK451's

*maybe* 245's if they'll fit (though not sure about that one)

They should fit on your R32 however you can always get the guards rolled. Unique Autosports have a proper guard rolling tool to do the job properly

hope that helps

Ive been looking for the same wheels for my R32. The best price i could find for 17*8 was $1690 with cheap tyres, cant remember the brand now. This was in Adelaide though. 18's were $2500 with cheap tyres $3500 with expencive tyres.

good choice!

[Flaps]

i want these rims as well, 18's would be the only way for me

Nice rims Prank! - where did you pick them up from?

[shonen]

yeah i was considering getting those rims too....

but i went for Impuls instead.....go check them out..

www.tempetyres.com.au i think....

they really suit the skyline...seen them on 34 and 33 and i dont see why they wont suit the 32.....

both chrome and shadow chrome is available....

Flaps: what size r the rims in tha pic?

[Flaps]

id say they are 18's or 19's.

I dont know who's R32 it is tho

Ive seen 17's and they dont stand out at all.

Mate try Big O tyres in moorebank

$1450 for 17x8 front and rear or $2000 for 17x8 front and 17x9 rear

come with Kumho ecsta tyres.

I'll be getting mine in there in two weeks!

Gonna be putting on my black 32 that has been dropped one and a half inches, should look sweet!!

Try Australia's Best Tyres (www.tyres.com)

I got quoted about $1400 for 17x8 all round with rubber (can't remember what type).

I know Jax in Liverpool quoted me with Pirelli P7000's for $1600

17 x 8 will easy fit even go 18 should have no trouble 2 inches lower should not even be sitting under the guards dont go tempe tyres heard from alot of people that they are a bit dodgy tried to get these myself but i dont think they are made in 4 stud i got a 31 so i got the replica made by performance i love em

[johnnyr31]

also go sava tyres they are a german made tyre and they last for ever and smoke real good if u got a lodda money

* Where can i buy a set in Sydney?

just about anywhere! tempe tyres, ozzy tyres, australias best, that place on the hume highway west strathfield where the purple r34 gtt "MOOOVE" sits out the front all day showing off its bling-ada-blings off....

* How much would a set of 17x8s retails for?

how long is a piece of string?

* Would 17x8 fit under my 2inches lowered R32?

yes.

* Any recommendations on some good rubber to get? Ive been told Falken make some good high performance tyres.

it depends on what you want them fo? do you want a set of tyres that will last you a long time? do you want grip in the wet and dry? do you want grip on a circuit? do you want grip on the drag strip? do you want a combination of all of them? (sorry can't do it hahah) basically, prepare to compromise on one thing if you want another.

i've been using toyo trampios r1r's for about 15,000 km's now and i am very happy with them. they have tremendous grip, because they are a hybrid rspec and street tyre, whilst they have relatively good tyre wear given the nature of the compound.

* What profile rubber would i need? Ive currently got 225/50 16inch but would like to jump to 235/? Would 235 wide rubber fit beneath my guards?

you'd probably need to drop your profile down to about 45 for a 17" wheel as for your width id say this depends on your offset? but im unsure...

[HSVKLR]

Thanks guys for the great help!

I basically want a set of rubber that performs well in the dry so something soft like the Falken Azenis is what im after or the equivalent from another brand.

Are these tyres like driving on ice in the wet? Ive had a look at the tread and there aint a lot of water drainage grooves on them!!

[franks]

they are okay in the wet when they are new, they deteriorate in wet weather as they get older.

[Guest INASNT]

good choice!

 

roughly how heavy is each rim?
