I sold my Work VS-KFs and got some Nismo rims. I know i know. SORRY! They just look so damn good. And they are made by RAYS for Nismo, so its just like TE37 mad for their VOLK lineup.


Anyways, specs are 17x9.5 -3 (+12 with 15mm spacer) and 18x10.5 -10 (+15 with 25mm spacer). 235/40/17 and 245/40/18 (will do 255/35/18 next set of tires).

Looks awesome

Still rockin the Federal 595s?

Dorifto_PG

Actually up front I have some Goodyear Eagle JDM things that came on the wheels. I dunno what I'll use next. Rear in the pics are still the 595s, I really like them. Going to try Dunlop Direzza DZ101's soon, as they are mounted on my spare wheels. So I'll compare the 2 at that time.

I just noticed the background of the first pic, that's a shitload of tires.

OT, do you still have the SR (whoops) in there? Maeda was telling me you want to go 13B.

Dorifto_PG

Hahaha no, I ripped the SR out as soon as I finished the 06 season. Now its 13BT, T04S, 750/1600.

why not some bee-r wheels ..

similar style..? not sure if they come in decent widths offsets though..

regardless of make of the wheels, car looks freaking fantastic with them..!

Dorifto_PG

Bee-Rs are copy of the LMGT4s! Why do that? Besides they only come in 9.5 I think. I wanted 10.5 at least, and low offsets. In a forged monoblock wheel. Most common solution to that is TE-37s and/or Enkei RP-F1. Which are very nice, but also very common.

Besides, these are lighter than TE37s, and way more rare! Its just.... they say Nismo on them. Hahaha. The stickers are flaking off and if I decide to replace them, I'll replace them with RAYS stickers I think.


Either way, thanks on the positive comments, I really love the way the car is turning out.


There was a thread a while back asking what wheel is a thick 5 spoke with a lot of concave section to the spoke. Immediately these came to mind, so I dug up some pics and posted for the guy. Then I decided to check on price for him. Then I found these on Yahoo JP! in these perfect sizes (lowest and widest offered). So things went ding ding ding and I sold the heavy *** bling Works which were conflicting with the style of my car and sprung for these. I am So happy. Now I just need to find some Desmond Regamasters. My spares are Panasport G7 C5C2R.

They are all the same...
Like the (Uras) NS-01's...

That 18" x 10.5" size is uncommon though.
Most of them are 17" and between 8.0" and 9.5" widths.

Um. You know that those BeeR and Uras and DT05Rs are not these, right? Those wheels are cast replicas, not to mention a little different looking.

These are Forged and made by RAYS, none of those other ones are. I'm not knocking those wheels, its just that they aren't the same. The quality, design, and (unfortunately) price.

Dorifto_PG

Bee-R B5s:
*notice only has 5 holes drilled for the lug nuts, whereas LMGT4s have 10 holes, 5 of them just to remove material and lighten the wheel between the lug nuts:




Uras NS-01s:
*Notice the holes drilled between the lug nuts are smaller than LMGT4s.





DT-05Rs:
*Look every similar to the Uras. Also notice the "step" from the spokes into the center cavity of the wheel.









Anyways, of course the shape of the spokes on all those are also slightly different, not to mention the sizes, offsets, and manufacturing company is different too. None of those I just posted are forged, and IMO the best looking (and sized) are the Bee-R. Its weird tho, while I like how concave the spokes are, they don't NEED to be like that. They almost stick out past the lip and then shoot in at an extreme angle, making them look a lot deeper than they are. If they needed to be that deep it would be rad. But when they look like that, but are 18x9.5 +10 or +25 (iirc) its kinda... "Why?"

owen is fat

wow man.
they look perfect.
excellent choice.
they are actually lighter than TE37s?!?!
those offsets really look sick with the concave face.
awesome sizes too, holy hell your FC looks good!
props.

MORE PICS! bigger ones too! make me a desktop image! 1680x1050 !!!!
pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease..........

aznpoopy

that looks awesome. i think i need new pants

I was just looking at what you posted for offsets, and I have to say that you are a little off on your numbers. Puting a spacer in between the rim and hub actually makes the offset smaller, or otherwise more negative. higher offsets bring the rim inboard towards the suspension, opposite of how you posted, I am pointing this out because I am a little curious as to what the offsets are with those rims (actual #s)

dpf22

aznpoopy

hes not wrong
i think ur misunderstanding what he is saying

front original
9.5 +12mm
+ 15mm spacer = effective 9.5" -3mm

rear original
10.5 +15mm
+25mm spacer = effective 10.5" -10mm

dpf22

aha, now i see the light. thanks man...

Tanjo

Thats it. Im putting my Mazdaspeed MS01's on my R32. Hopefully the combo will look as good as yours.

Nice car.

Dorifto_PG

MS01s are the worst size/offsets ever, though.


I see you're on Okinawa. Kadena, right? You know my friend Society Mike? Mike Craig? In Tokyo he had gangster *** S13, then S14. Now he has a white JZX100 Mark II. Its totally awesome. I think he switched to Kouki rear lights, so the trunk for the conversion is black. Wheels are Advan T6s and/or Work VS-KFs and BN Sports aero...


Anyways, if you see him around tell him Lindsay says what's up.

Tanjo

Although they could be a bit bigger, they looked great on my FD. The offset would be a little wacky on the nissan though. Im on zeroyon.com with those guys, and I might have been to a ghymkana with them, but I dont personally know them.

chozenfc3s

never thought those wheels would ever make it on to an RX7 but the look great!!!!

I'm really loving the offsets too, your car looks like a Tank

as stated before lindsay, they look good. i wish CST's or Bee*R's came wider but what can you do. those wheels compliment the BN sports nicely. i think the VS-KF's brought more attention to the wheels then the car imho.
