I just put a set of ADVANTI COMETS 16x7 with TOYO 205 55 16, the colour of them is HYPER (half chrome half silver) they look unreal plus they stick to the road like glue!

Those Nismo LM GT-2's will fit and they're 17x7

It's a Pintara, not a Skyline.

Do our cars even have enough torque to turn over 18x9 rims?

SIR-TRX has 18"s on his, but that is a very exeptional case! Its hard enough just to even find a set of 4 stud wheels any bigger than 17"
Suggestion is to read up a little more on the car and visit the local mag shop. Many of them are keen to test fit wheels to your car if you seem interested enough... just mention you have a birthday coming up or something

The rays-engineering rims im looking at are 17x7.5's..

But jay, have fun getting a widebody kit with that

nizu12 · « **Reply #9 on:** Mar 5, 2006, 02:10PM »

I'll get some pics as soon as possible, to the person who asked if 18x9 would fit, the 16x 7 only just miss scrubbing the strut by about 5-8mm.

nismoboi · « **Reply #10 on:** Mar 5, 2006, 05:44PM »

oh ok, coz i gota quote for the 18x9 chromes for 300 a rim but its the 9 im worried about.

so anyway back on topic, why did you put the TITLE of the thread as "looking for wheels?" ie a question, when you're telling us that you ALREADY have wheels?

I'm guessing he wants everyone else to be like him

You donkeys, its for anyone confused looking for rims, what suits the pintara best. Plus I'm gonna be selling my old 14x6's soon.

Jtas · « **Reply #22 on:** Mar 9, 2006, 06:04PM »

err.. how is this thread supposed to eliminate the confusion?

and lol...why would anyone want 14x6" rims? I can't even get rid of my old 14x5.5" factory alloys WITH tires for $40!

STU84W · « **Reply #24 on:** Mar 10, 2006, 08:03AM »

just for future reference, rims that are 17"x7" +45 offset with 205/40 rubber fit under the guards quite nicely, with no scrubbing or issues. thats with a stock ride height

nizu12 · « **Reply #25 on:** Mar 18, 2006, 12:56AM »

Dunno how its supposed to eliminate confusion,maybe some one might say "Those rims look alright" and look into getting some, but the title is a bit mis-leading

u12-910 · « **Reply #26 on:** Apr 26, 2006, 09:33PM »

yeah just a little and peoples choice of what they like in a wheel will differ from one to another.

example my 17's on the bluey look tough. on the pintara they look shit. but again thats my own opinion someone might think they look alright.

im interested in seeing these wheel champ so post some pics.

and also you dont want everyone having the same rims as you as you'll loose your individuality.

if anyone is looking for rims check out tempe tyres. to be honest i got screwed around a bit but i got what i wanted in the end and there pretty helpful.

good luck selling the 14's champ as said no one really wants them. try ebay you might get a half decent price there. if they have good tyres just stress that its cheaper to buy your rims than it is to buy new tyres.
