Wheels, your thoughts? - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

Seriously thinking about changing my wheels

Here is my car:

What wheels do you think would set the car off and make it look all the more bad ass? Or do you think I should keep the 17's on there?

Cheers

I think it looks good with those. Maybe get the centres better colour-matched to the car? (Sorry if they already are; tricky to tell from the pictures)

Yucky! Call me boring but a set of 37's or GT4's would look awsome with the right offset!

Dins · 20th June 2008, 10:17 AM

I'm guessing those are pretty heavy, light wheels are always nice.

Definitley thinking about 18x9 Nismo LMGT4's in bronze now. Saw some pics of them on a gunmetal R32 GTR and they look the tits!

BeeR 9.5x18, ET +25, 20mm spacers

18x9.5 Rota GTR (LMGT4 rip offs) +30 offset with 20mm spacer

the Nismo's will look the muts chap...cant go wrong with 37's on a 32 either...my choice would be the Bee*R in bronze tho for yours.

not sure if they have been discontinued tho? ask matty32.

OK, due to monetary constraints I have decided to keep the wheels. However, I will be refurbishing them. So, what colour should I paint the centres? I'm thinking either gun metal to match the car or black. Thoughts?

hytech · 12th July 2008, 08:40 AM

WOW! I had the exact same wheels on my GTR when I first purchased it. Same colour GTR aswell. Brings back memories

I actually liked those wheels and kept them on, until someone stole them

Have since upgraded to GTC's.

vintoni · 17th July 2008, 11:53 AM

Yeah, I really like them. I think I'm going to paint the centres black and really polish up the chrome rims. Should look good. They are made by Gemballa, the Porsche tuning company.

Benji406V6Coupé · 17th July 2008, 12:10 PM

..id paint them the colour of the car mate...its practically black anyway and they might look more expensive to boot.

vintoni · 17th July 2008, 12:41 PM

Aarrrgh! Just when I make up my mind someone comes along and I change it.
