Works Xt7 18inch Rim - Powdercoated Black


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

My 18inch Works XT7 rims are up for sale, i will no longer have a use for them so they are up for sale.

They are powdercoated in a Satin Black so they should be a one of a kind set as far as i know. This looks awesome on white but will suit any coloured car depending on your personal taste.

These rims have been in my possession for as long as i have owned the car, so 7 years or so... They are not overly common either... The rims are the perfect offset for a street R34GTT and should suit the other models without any hassle.

They were always one of my favourite rims to have on the car, however now the car is track only i have gone to a much wider setup...

They quite often got comments on how they looked on the R34GTT after they were powdercoated black, for some reason they look bigger then they actually are. I think this is due to the black rim blending with the sidewall of the tyre!

These are polished up and just sitting in a living room, i have not used them for around 12mths. The original works centre caps are in the rims just painted over in satin black. I can supply the original blue alloy wheel nuts and lock nut key, 2 of the wheel nuts were damaged by a workshop so you may need a couple of replacements, you can see the blue ones on the second image. I run steel wheel nuts now due to track use.

Overall condition is pretty good, through the powdercoat you can see where the 2 kerbside rims were repaired from gutter rash, they balance up fine and the black hides it, you have to look pretty close to tell.

A couple of pics of the rims fitted to my GTT -

The front rims are 18x8.5 +38

The rear rims are 18x9.5 +30

The tyre sizes in the images vary, on the front i ran either 235 or 255 wide depending on the tyre, on the rear i ran 265 or 275 depending on the tyre. If these tyres sell for the right price i will also throw in the set of original 275 tyres off the rear.

Price for the rims without tyres $1200ono (If sold for $1200 i will throw in the 275/35/18 tyres for the rear)

No swaps wanted. Pick up preferred, can meet if necessary but PM for details.

Location near Newcastle airport.

PM me for more info, PM preferred. Will give my number to serious buyers only.

    • Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.
    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
