I have found that unless they are a large diameter or a highly 'in demand' type of rim, they don't sell well on ebay.

I had a set of 16in Maxima alloys a while back, in mint condition, I tried several times to sell them, even offered free shipping to anywhere in Qld, in the end I sold them for $25 for the set of 4 (without tyres).

yeah the 17s go for chump change

someone I know sold a set with near new tyres for $300

I just picked up a set of the concave V35 (base coupe?) ones off ebay for $130, just need to replace 2 tyres

Where as the 18s you are lucky to get them for $500 going upwards to 700 or so, AS they are a lot wider/better offset so are wanted buy a lot of other cars

Its just the fact they are skinny and high offset, from memory 7.5/8.5 +30something so they are no real use to anyone, besides defect clearers

Where as say R33GTR as 17x9+30 a lot of people with sils, non GTR skylines and toyotas want them as they are a subtle rim that fits well and great for track ect so people still ask nearly 1K for ( besides the occasional bargain). Up untill recently you were paying minimum 2K for R34 GTR, but they have come down to mid teens of late. Same as the 17s are quite nice for a stock wheel, if they were a little wider and tad more concave I think they would be a lot more desirable

I had some enkei rims that I was trying to sell on ebay, that I got for free.


They were chrome which is why the probs didnt sell. I Ended up leaving them out the front on a council pick up as they were taking up space in my house. . . Some wheels are worth nothing.

      And make sure the belts are tightened appropriately too.

      They care about emissions, and cost the most. Save weight where possible, and make manufacturing easier. Less material also let's the engine transfer heat to water quicker, and bring the engine up to temp quicker, better for emissions and getting them past their warranty period.

      I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.

      Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?

      https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild.
