expensive track wheels. and i have no clue

[S14DB]

Buy to full clips :p

You should be able to find them in sets of two from clip importers. There are some JDM wheel vendors around there.

Kid Zelda had some

I think alta can get them for you. It may take some time.

[phrozen]

that kit is horrible... dosent fit or flow right, maybe just mounted bad. But yea try jspec, wheel choice, ebay, jdm importers, ask ppl on club4ag that live in japan

[mrmephistopheles]

Up Garage near me has about 6 sets.
No, I won't get them for you. :(

[revat619]

oh thats just wrong! hahaha

[psychedelicbeats]

from my understanding, that's a gpsports dress-up, correct me if i'm wrong

Why? I'm not trying to be mean.. I won't do it for 2 reasons: a.) ALL R33 GTR wheels belong to me. Not everybody knows that yet though. 2.) that's TOO much hassle... Unless I start exporting parts on a higher volume basis (which will depend on how my initial sales go), I don't want to ship ANYTHING big.

Besides, I've already told you that I wouldn't ship you a seat, and you're a good friend of mine! Now, when you come out, I'll help you find one and help you get it shipped back...

[kcolyer27]

I wish i lived in japan. :( Mrmephistopheles can you help me get some s15 floor mats please!? :D

[xkimcheekidx]

mrmephistopheles i would be willing to support you in exporting parts. :naughty:

There's a hidden message: R33 wheels are easy to find in Japan.

Find a proxy bidding service and hit Yahoo Japan auctions...

seriously.. there's no need to "flaunt it" in the first place.. you taught me that.

[DoriftoSlut]

Kevin... thanks for sending em those 4 sets of SSRs and Works, they rule. Great price too. Free shipping is great!












HAhaha jk guys, I havent gotten that. Well, not yet at least.

As for that S14... Works9 aero, not GPSports.

And R33 rims? I'll sell mine. For... a lot.

[boro240]

As for that S14... Works9 aero, not GPSports.
its TOTALLY GPSports. Works9 is a lot more angular.

[DoriftoSlut]

its TOTALLY GPSports. Works9 is a lot more angular.
Yeah i know... its totally G4. I don't know what i was thinking. Please god kill me.

[mrmephistopheles]

Let me spend the weekend at your house! I want to go shopping for cool stuff in japan and send it all back.....

[420sx]

you can got sexier wheels that r33 for the price. jeez JdM, woa! :jerkit:

[Johny5]

i don't believe it has much to do with the design of the rim. the sizing is good and ends up relatively flush on s14s and definitely looks hot on s13s. the quality is probably very good due to the fact that its a nissan rim, oem rims have a reputation for being well built. and its very original, unlike something you can just buy here in the states.

[420sx]

i dont see how it can be that much better quality and sizes that work wheels or bbs or even SSR. and the same goes for sizes and flushness. just cuz it gayDm tyte doesnt mean its a God.

[Bliss]

fuck...some people like JDM stuff because its a high quality piece. He didn't call them the best wheels ever. No no..he didn't...rather...he said he's gonna use them as FUCKING TRACK WHEELS. stop trying to bash for no reason.

[DoriftoSlut]

Youa re a dumbfuck. A GTR wheels are forged aluminum by BBS. It says so on the wheel. No im not making shit up, I have them on my car.

JDM? No, like stated, they were made to be daily driven on a 3300 lbs car. Strong? Understatement.

Price? Wanna see the price of Forged BBS wheels in 17x9? THey are not cheap. SSRs are quality too... but they bend way easier. 1 due to design in some wheels (Deep dish). But again, bullocks mate, SSRs are fucking hefty pricetag. $600 a wheel+ new. HAHA GTRs are half as much.

Flushness? Its ok for most people, but Im running 20mm spacers front and 23mm rear.

You sound like a dumbass. Maybe i should translate this to something you can understand a little better:
FUCKOFF.

[Zemus]

fuck...some people like JDM stuff because its a high quality piece. He didn't call them the best wheels ever. No no..he didn't...rather...he said he's gonna use them as FUCKING TRACK WHEELS. stop trying to bash for no reason.
But 900$ + for 17x9 +30 offsets IIRC, OEM... USED.. doesnt seem like a good deal. If they were 500$, hey, thats a decent deal, but 900$ thats quite alot. I mean You are half way to some really really nice wheels right their. If you want track wheels, you get Z wheels, TT in back, and TT in front if you want to run a spacer. or get some nice spacers on Rock MK4 supra wheels 17x9s.. and their not 900$s...

[Dousan_PG]

FORGED zemus
FORGED.

dont compare apples and oranges

[Zemus]

Supra TT wheels arent forged?

[Dousan_PG]

no idea
but look at the offsets
add bolt on spacers and you'll end up another 300 bucks more
and imo, looks too, cant come even close to how sexy GTR R33 wheels are

[Zemus]

Eh, their ok, but the offset is meh, to make the R33 Wheels hot their need to be spaced, so now your putting 300$ down on spacers for the R33 wheels. So regardless you need spacers IMO.

[Dousan_PG]

no wrong
you DO NOT need spacers for R33 gtr wheels
their offset is pretty damn good depending your ca'r setup (like none to little camber)

you might need a 5mm spacer to clear coilovers up front thats it. and 5mm are very very very cheap.

[Zemus]

I said you need them to be Flush IMO, to me.. +20mm would be flush, so you atleast need 10mm all around to be flush. I mean you need them to be flush, not need them to run the wheels themselves. Also Im running off a diffrent setting them everyone else, I have flairs so all my offsets are basicly alot crazyer then everyone elses. 8.5 wide wheels... -27 offset.. thats the way to roll..

I just dont justifying paying 900$ for stock wheels. I mean you can get 5zigan wheels in 30 offset 17x9 and their alot less than that. But I mean If your set on Skyline wheels, by all means find some.

[Dousan_PG]

WHAT?!
the +30 is pretty flush (with proper tire size). spacers at 10mm require longer studs
its not needed a friend in norcal has R33 GTR on his kouki s14 and it looks PIMP.

i have 9j on my car, i know whats needed.

again your comparing apples and oranges

seriously it comes down to money
if you have it you can buy them
if you dont go complain elsewhere
find me high quality forged good offset, size and style wheel under 900.

[DoriftoSlut]

5 Zigen wheels are cast. Except for the FN01-R... not FN01RC which is a cast wheel./ FN01Rs are WAY more than 01RCs, so what price are you talking about?

ANd if +20 is what you think is flush, thats a 10mm slip on spacer which costs less than a bolt on spacer for the +50 something Supra wheels.

None the less, you'll need liek a 40mm bolt on spacer to rock the supra wheels like i run 20mm for the GTRs. 40mm spacers are mmm more expensive than 20mm ones by a lot.

And if you don't care for looks, sure, there are other wheels that can be cheaper, but imo and a lot of other people's R33 GTR wheels are some of the most sexy OEM (or not) wheels.

[Zemus]

I mean you like what you like, but I mean track wheels are trackwheels, Looks shouldnt matter, but thats just my mentality. Id rock MK1s all around if they were the same size and offset that I wanted. Like its been said before, It all matters about money, and also what you like, and thats all that I guess really matters.

[psychedelicbeats]

i dont want to rock fn01r-c's anymore (i had them) because the design gets the wheel extremely dirty,and over time the dirt starts to bake on there! for example after only a 10 minute run down a canyon. it's a hassle to clean up a "good looking" wheel per se, verus the r33 which is still neato but compromisable for dirtiness. i want r33s not because it's gaydm, but that it is simply a good track wheel to go with. same with TT 300z wheels and SEs, but a change would be nice, don't you think? =) i would get fn01r-c's only if they weren't priced that "low" as many people consider it. many people feel that it's cheap, but i can't imagine how much it's going for in the wholesale industry. fn01r-c's looks nice at first, but from time to time you'd realize how plain that shit is actually designed. in any case, the zigens do well for most people in regards to wheel weight, clearance design, etc. but i'm more in for MY OWN preference. that's all that matters to me. hey dousan, doesn't one of your friends have a set? have your friend name me a price and we'll see what goes from there... ha!

ot: heartwork if u read this, your gold mesh track wheels are hot. i would probably use your mesh as my bling wheels if i was in your position, yet u trash it LOL. be on the lookout for another set of meister s1p's... haha jk i am considerin equips, possibly in chrome. but if you sell your work wheels... let me know! i will arrange something, and hopefully your good friend don will deliver goods from upnorth! :wiggle:

[DoriftoSlut]

hey dousan, doesn't one of your friends have a set? have your friend name me a price and we'll see what goes from there... ha!

Yeah, that friend is me. I gots em on my car. I bought them cause they are storng as fuck, good for touge and track, sexy as hell and good sizes. ZTT wheels and SE wheels are 16s. x8.5 +32 (iirc) and x6.5 +40 respectively. THAT SUCKS ASS. WHeels have to look good, be strong, and have good sizes and offsets.

Anyways, I ovverpaid for my R33s cause i bought them when only 1 or 2 other people in the US had them. That was like... 2.5 years ago i got them. LEts talk about it in PM. I'll see how much i have and how much the wheels i want are gonna be...
