Right, click on this link Fuji Corporation and they've got Work Emotion CR Cai 18x9.5 with tires front and rear for R32 GT-R for 140,000 yen... Fuji Corporation have some pretty good deals on new wheels and tires.

 

Otherwise, if you really like my wheels (Desmond Regamaster) you could go for these:

158,000 yen with 265/35/18 tires at www.hokuei-inc.co.jp

Are these the same? :

LM's are made by Rays under commission from Nismo

I reckon they're a 5-spoke of the TE37's

They also have a different pattern around the studs (many holes, rather than either 4 or 5 on the TE-37).

LW.

It's actually the overall rolling diameter that needs to be the same front-back to keep ATTESSA happy.

Just thought I would emphasize this as I see so often people saying AWD needs same width rims.

The torque split controller works on the rolling dia. and even pulls in if one of your tyres is a bit low on pressure.

So on diff size rims just adjust the tyre aspect ratio and rolling dia. to suit!

IMHO rim apearance and desirability is totally subjective.

A big issue to me is how easy they are to keep clean!

Here's my car with BBS LM's in 17x9. I dream of 18inch wheels though for my car. Either WORK Meister S1's, R34 GT-R wheels or Nismo LMGT4's and I'd still settle for TE37's.

I might have to sell these rims as I just bought some Brembos for the front and it doesn't look like there's enough clearance for them :D So, great excuse to upgrade wheels I suppose!!! I'll need about $5k though to get what I really want! OUCH!!!

Hey thanks people.

Right now, I'm looking at this :

in black like this :

And I want 18".

I know the size has to be the same for all on a GTR, just wondering if they could also fit on a 300zx as well?

thanks again.

That's actually dark blue you linked. 18" TE37s in black/dark grey looks like this:

I should know: those are my wheels in that picture. Hopefully they will show up some day (currently still in Japan).

LW.

justinfox: yeah, they look great, you just need the hubble telescope to see them from Australia :) Hoping I can get them here (without being pinched by some arsehole in the next month).

Its apparently a special order colour that Ray's offers (another one is Mercury Silver, but those a *freakin* expensive to get, even by TE-37 standards).

Yeah, they will be going on my (Gunmental) R32 GT-R. They are 18x9.5 (which apparently fits without rolling), and I think the offset is +35 off the top of my head but I can check if you like?

Should look a little something like this (though the wheels are a bit darker IMHO):

LW.

They look awesome.

Lucien, I thought GTR offset was closer to +12 or +15, with a +35 for GTSts? eg. if you bolt on a R34GTR wheel to a GTSt they stick out too far?

Also, what are they costing you to send from Japan?

Cheers

Ronin: Your right. They are +12. Its been so long since I bought them I had forgotten :D

Edit: To cut a long story short, I payed to have them afixed to my GT-R, but the place didn't do that, so car is here (with original GT-R wheels on :) ) and wheels are still in Japan. Hoping to get them brought across in another vehicle, but waiting for the place to get their act together.

LW.

IWells,

Those rims look great!

My car is exactly the same as yours, I have the SSR mags at the moment, but will definitely go the RAY route.

I'm a bit confused with some of the RAY wheels, I believe the spokes on the TE37 is flat, but another version has them slanted inward. Which is which?

BTW, Hope you get your wheels soon and safely.

Informer: The original (and still the best IMHO) TE-37 has the slanted spokes. There are a couple of other versions: the flat spoked version is the TE-37M; there is a TE-37 gravel that is also quite flat; TE-37 Cup which has inverse slant, and TE-37 K which is sort of a dished version of the 37M.

    • I buy my wheel cleaner in 4 litre bottles now. Euro brakes are brutal
    • Sounds like it may all just be some baseless outrage stoked by the carexplore guy? As in the linked social media outrage on facebook just goes back to carexplore as a source again. Further shown by the council response that nothing actually has changed: "The Private Land Use Permit has been part of the Casey Community Local Law for a number of years. It's important to clarify that this permit is not new, and no changes have been made to the permit or the Local Law in relation to the permit." The full council response in Prank's link sounds reasonable to me. Saying that as someone who neither lives there nor has a front yard to call their own  
    • Clutch hydraulics are also all good, looks like a brand new slave cylinder and everything bled up well. No idea what the actual clutch is, and I don't intend to pull the box off on the floor to find out, so unless we have trouble on the dyno or at shakedown that will remain a mystery for the new owner
    • Front brakes are G4 8 pot calipers over 330mm discs with braided lines. Everything looks good, pretty sure these are off my old 350. Pads are brand new and judging from gold colour are Winmax which is what I also run on my race car, Neil and I both sourced brake stuff from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney who really knows his stuff Everything has bled up nicely with all new Motul RBF600 fluid, there were 2 loose hard line connections and the calipers were new on the car so I ended up doing it 3 times but it is perfect now
    • So, starting with the rear brakes. They look like standard R33 GTST, and will need new pads shortly (less than 5mm material, probably only 1 day left). The slotted discs (probably DBA) are near new at 18.01mm and the lines are braided
