These Kakimoto's

designed for the R32, they just look right.

I have a set with rubber for sale in gunmetal that matches your paint & offset.

they look better with the centre plate removed, the big alloy nut srewed back on minus the kakimoto logo - very street cred.

I'll post up a pic. Let me know if you want to trial fit.

i liked the Work rims to start with, but after having them on my car for a while now, im starting to dislike them. the design is good and the colour (gold with polished rim) its just that the spokes are really wide and dont go right to the edge of the rim. they are 18x9 and 18x10 and have mad dish, u just cant see much disc behind them and they look smaller than 18s. im going to get some Gram Lights 57 Pro's, they are made by Rays Engineering.

if anyone out there is looking for some 18" Work rims, the same as the gold ones above, off R33 gtst, gimme a pm.

cheers

oh and the 'trafficstar' 19" on FLYBYE (hpi issue 44) tickled my fancy.  but apparently there rare.  anyone know anything about them?  is the person who owns flybye on sau?

Also, FLYBYE is now known as TUFGTR and was at the Summernats making 659.8rwhp in HP heroes.

There are also another set of these wheels that look exactly the same but are called Axis - Deep dish at Ozzy Tyres:

I already have VOLK CV PRO's on mine, but will be changing them soon when I revamp the car's paint later this year. Would love some stockers for that "sleeper" look if anyone wants to trade. :P

Hey I have good set r32gtr rims. Look on Unique Autosports site. Under second hand rims. May trade.

I think R34 GT-R rims would look extremely alluring. R33 ones look cool on a 32 too.

Personally, I don't think there are many rims or bodykits that look better on a GT-R than what Nissan intended - the styling is so "right" from the factory.

My favourite wheels are magnesium RS-watanabe RS8's, in either gold or charcoal, the one piece super light ones - but not really the look for a GT-R.... Followed by Work Meister's and R34 GT-R wheels.

    • There's a difference between "selling" a product to someone (which, if you walked into a workshop or bricks and mortar store and bought and walked out with it, is just the act of buying and selling) and rolling your buggy into a workshop and having them fit non-roadworthy stuff to the car. And for the latter, let's ignore any potential legal loophole arguments that the armchair lawyer might want to make to differentiate between supplying your own parts to be fit by the workshop or getting the shop to supply and fit. The workshops that have been dealt with in the US for this are in the latter category. It would be near impossible to try to charge/attack/criminalise a shop for selling "for off road use only" parts to someone unless those things were intrinsically illegal in their own right, or had other legislation wrapped around them, such as there is for guns, pharmaceuticals, etc. Well, no. And you knew your argument was silly when you made it. And there is. it might be somewhat harder in Vic, but then that's the price you pay for electing the long list of (unts that you have to run the whole shit hole**. But otherwise, you can put an aftermarket or otherwise tunable ECU into a car and get it run through the whole shebang of emissions testing as part of an engineering cert and, so long as the tune is "locked" afterwards, then that modification is on the list that is approved on the cert. But....it is an expensive process. ** Of course, the (unts who make up a large proportion of the population that eternally try to get around the rules are also a part of the problem and the reason that you end up with draconian rules in the first place. By contrast, SA was founded and the government and civil service set up and run by very sensible types (largely German) who set up good structures that enabled a lighter touch of government on the somewhat better behaved population. it is only more recently that we have followed the rest of Australia down the criminal drainhole of penal colony behaviour and now we have to catch up with mobile phone cameras and so on.  
    • Not specifically the revamp Toyos. In the past I've used Nitto NT01s, which were essentially the same compound as R888 with a different pattern (that's what the internetz said, so just be facts). I did like the NT01, progressive fade, didn't go from grip to 0 grip in a split second. If you look at the serious street/track guys, most are either on Cup 2, A052, A050, AD09, CR-S or AR-1.  
    • I have one of these! It is absolutely useless. It provides not nearly enough force on the bolt, it just slips over anything that is not finger tight. And if it's finger tight, you can use your fingers.
    • You have to take photos of the car in Victoria with a timestamp. So if you have big aftermarket turbo in your engine bay, your car is simply not getting a RWC and you'll be doing a lot of returning to stock, and re-modding after about 90 days (because cars that have had a RWC can be audited after the fact). The law I'm kinda ambivalent about. I can see the logic and the writing on the wall, Cobb etc would be well known for selling to 'wink wink off the street usage' but in the real world everyone knows what they do and where they end up. It'd be like someone selling guns in Australia but "only to people who have a proper licence" but selling them outside of Bunnings instead of sausages to anybody. Like RWC's, and VASS's and EPA, this is enforcement of the actual existing rules. I haven't looked into it but there (should) be a way for people to legally pass their tuned car to be within the rules if they can prove they pass emissions laws that are applicable. If there's not then that's another story.
    • Interesting post(haven't watched the vid). I'm surprised companies can be fined for selling products that are specifically meant for certain applications.  How can you force a customer to use or apply your products in 100% the way intended? People have been misusing products since they were invented. Heck, I ate dessert last night with a soup spoon. Does that mean the spoon manufacturer could be fined? And what of the customers who actually want to use the product for its intended use?   I'm sure we could discuss and debate this for a while, but this is an introduction thread and I dont mean to take over it.
