Guys i am looking as some you may know for a set of rims i am a fussy bastard and can't decide what to get. I am currently looking at a set of Buddy Club P1's in silver or bronze. they will be 17 x 8 and 17 x 9.

So my main questions are

I would like to know what other wheels you guys think are nice (hopefully you will have similar taste as me but no chrome and they have to be either 17's or 18's)

In the buddy clubs which would you think goes better with black the bronze or silver

if i do get 17 x 8 and 17 x 9's what is the actual width tyres i should put on them eg 235/50/17 and 265/50/17 or can i actually go 45's ???

last but not least does anyone in canberra actually have these rims ??? i wouldnt mind seeing what they actually look like on the car.

ultimatly i know its my choice etc but i would like to know others thoughts

Dont get the Buddy clubs,

But if you have to, get white, for the racing look

yep whites the way to go

any others types that would suit that you could recommend ??? and white... maybe but not likely

White looks good on black, but i reccomend the P1s in the Bronze, or even Gun metal.

As for tyre size, you can go down to 40 man, i had 40 profile on my 17s on the last car.

I run 35s on the 18s i have, they are 18x10 and 18x9 with 255/35 and 265/35 just for a reference.

You can probably stretch 235/40 onto the back, but i'd say go for something around 245/45 perhaps. But ask your tyre shop, they'll be able to say for sure what you can and cannot fit.

Can i ask why you said don't go the buddy clubs?

[leech_]

yea i figure they are as close well sorta to the r34 gt-t rims which i cannot find anywhere so the other option was a set of lenso muse in the 18's still considering them

[Sinista32]

Go Black - you never go back. Enkie for the race/track look or Spoked 18"'s. I'll get the name & pics of the sort I'm thinking of. BrB.

Chromes for Class - Black for Track

he doesnt want you to go the buddy clubs for a very good reason, its not selfish or anything at all haha, care to tell them why Andrew?

[tridentt150v]

Black, Advan Super Racing three spoke, running 245 front and 255 rear Yokohama AVS 102's, work just jim dandy.

There is only one colour in the known universe = black, all other perceived colours are just shades of black.

hey sinista and others cheers for the replys small drama with those ones you showed me

Selling for $3000 with rubber....

budget is for a max of about $2400ish but hopefull less. with the budy clubs i should hopefully be able to get them for around $1400 @ my door then a set of st115's or something grippy to keep me happy we will see as i said their was a set of 19 x 8 i think lenso muse out at trojan motorsport which looked nice

[Aurora]

There are some ROH Drift R's in 19x8 and 19x9 with tyres, for $2200 on the Syndicate Forums. I cannot get there from work sorry, but check out the For Sale section and you should be able to find them.

[Veilside R33]

GO 19's DO IT DO IT!!!!!!!!!

[rob34]

I have a set of rims that came with my skyline - I fitted standard R34 rims and the old ones are sitting around. (How is the skyline going Nathan?).

They are Advan RG 17x8.5 and 17x9.5. I didnt think they looked good on a white R34 but they may suit another combination.

The rims are lightweight and would be ideal track-day rims.

Anyone interested.

lol andrew typical of you bigger is better hehe na i dont want 19's for a couple of reasons

1. the ride will be bumpy as hell = homo

2. i refuse to pay $500 for a tyre

rob thanks for the offer but not what i am after though if you want to part with your gt-t rims let me know

[rob34]

sorry leech forgot to mention i sold my 34. How is it going Nathan?

2. i refuse to pay $500 for a tyre

Think youre going to be in for a bit of a shock. Most local tyre places for ST115 quoted me $440ish per tyre for 255/40/17 (I have 17x9's).

local yes sydney no

i know they will be a little wider but they shouldnt be more than $300 a piece i would think + i can generally bs alot to get the price down hehe

[NJR 34GTT]

It's going great. Obviously very well looked after by its previous owner!

Haven't had a single problem.

The tuning is a bit rich but I'm looking into that.

I was going to edit my post and say "but most Canberra shops are a rip off anyway" but ill just post again

Be wary also, rumor going around is Falken have stopped production of their motorsport tyres (the Azenis range, including ST115, ST215, RS-V04 etc). Tempe couldnt get me any Azenis in the size I needed, and another place also confirmed Falken has "temporarily" ceased production.

But if they have them, its usually $60 or so for delivery down by overnight courier... awesome service
