What rims should i go for?

[copeyhagen]

Well,

would like people opinions on what rims i should go for on the chaser.

someone had suggested looking out for 2 rezax on yahoo.jp with a big dish and put my rears on the front and put the 2 new ones on the rear.

i personally like the rezax on it so im in no serious rush to change em, wouldnt mind waiting for the right set.

the rears will be spaced out of course asap.

was thinking if i was changing them all to go for a sset of work vs kf or something? any other ideas?

id say i could fit 10.5 on the rears?, what kind of offsets would i be looking for?

cheers

i like Mick's suggestion - something to brighten up the car, a bit of chrome.

Did greg not have rubbing issue's wit his 17x10 volks?

[Greg]

I had trouble with the rim hitting the body of the coilover alright when running 18x10.5 with weak offsets. The 17x10 +28 or +31 with 265 or 255/40 didn't scrub, but I ran 225/40 to be sure. The arches are rolled on my car though.


Edit - Get something else besides the usual Di fascination, SSRs. :D

[Fredericks Balls]

Don't forget he has a lot of rear arch work and wider front wings...

I still love those work emitz! I also like the idea of the 2 rezax, I never liked those rezax but more recently I'm liking them a lot

deep dish varianzas would look savage IMO

http://www.iputinwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/g35_t1s_sr_msp.jpg

[copeyhagen]

mmmm some nice options there, never seen the varianzas with a dish before, looks nice.

yeh my rear arches should be able to handle the 10.5's i think.

i think the ssr's are nicer than the meisters but thats a personal preference.

btw the wheels that are on now jus need a polish of some autosol. theyre manky.

the vs-kf's look awsome, missed a set on here by like a few hours..grrr

so soemthin polished with a good offset is winner winner chicken dinner?

[way2fastforu]

work vs-kf in man sizes ftw:D

[copeyhagen]

http://www.iputinwork.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/chaser_kf.jpg

what would the offsets on these be?!

[copeyhagen]

anyone think these would suit it, i was hopin for wider than 9.5s but with a spacer might work ;)

[Greg]

Personally I hate that style of rim, so I'm gonna say no. :)

[Alan B.]

its a big tank of a car so something with chunky spokes, thin spoked wheels or mesh will look shite on it imo.

[Baz_180]

My vote is for the work vs-kf! they look unreal... probably an unreal price tag to with with them too. Have you got onto Carpo I sure he has/can get something nice

[Titan Autoworks Japan]

work vs-kf:D

[copeyhagen]

id love the vs-kf's but theyre hard to come by

[Fredericks Balls]

I quite likethose wheels actually but id only have two. All four would be too much flatness and chrome but a wide pair on the back and something meshy to balance it out on the front might work??

[carpo]

just spotted these goin through in the morning

18 x 10.5j -36

[copeyhagen]

jesus thats mad dear.

is it possible to use my centres and get custom dishes made up?!

[Alan B.]

jesus thats mad dear.

if you have proper split rims, yeah, you can get whatever dishes, or dishes and barrels if you have 3 piece splits, that you want made up.

handy when you have wheels that are not BBS or Schmidt that you want to widen.

yeh theyre 3 pc split afaik

any idea who could do up custom dishes?

expensive?

cheers

[Alan B.]

not much more expensive then say off the shelf dishes for BBS or Schmidt.

Titanium Touch do them.
they are based in germany i think.
you get in touch with them with all the specs of the wheel dish you need, number of holes, pcd of the dish holes etc etc and they should be able to quote you then.

throw up a pic of the front and rear of the wheel.

unfortunatly they probably cant

last year i was onto them, wanted to get my ssr's widened, and after i sent in all the specs they said they couldnt! but do try!

image wheels in the uk can do it , pricey , but there work is immaculate!

[copeyhagen]

cheers ill check em both out later, pricey as in cost of a second hand set of wheels pricey?! or costly like a few hundred euro?
:D

image said they could make me 2 new inner and outter rims for like 700 sterling. pricey, but your getting 2 brand new wheel prctcally made to what you want! i was gonna have like a 6.5 inch dish!

pricey but i suppose ur right, ur getting brand new outers.

might get in touch and see if they could do anything

[Alan B.]

did they give any reason as to why the couldnt make em?

[nikkisixx69]

new outers AND new inner barrels! so you put your centre in them you have brand new wheels with mad dish!


did they give any reason as to why the couldnt make em?

i think they could but they could only make flat dishes up to 3 and a half inches or somethin like that, which was what i already had. they advertised they could do 6 inch flat dishes, but then turned out they couldnt.

that said, if its stepped dishs you want, they can make you up to 6 inch dishs, so iff you have sp1's and the like your onto a winner!

it was over a year since i dealt with them, so your best to try them yourself again as they might be doing that stuff now,

they know there german wheels a lot better than there jap wheels, so thats what those dishes are generally aimed at. they didnnt even no what ssrs where haha!

haha.

the standard rezax dish is kind at a 45 degree engle if ya aget me (will get pics of front and rear later)

i was thinkin like 5 or 6 inch flat dish for the rears alright.

might get away with my rears on the front but the dish on fronts and rears is quite similar and fairly weak.

pics will be up later!

i think the rezax suit the car so maybe it would be worth payin the money and gettin them done if they can do it now?

[Alan B.]

jap wheels are a bit odd alright, my 18 inch centres fit perfectly with my 17 inch dishes and rear barrells.

[copeyhagen]

what yas reckon aboput these for the fronts
http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x88/bubble1984/wheels/IMG_1985.jpg

could polish the centres or whatever. then get same wheels with bigger dish and like 11j or somethin off yahho acutions jp for the rears?

then get custom dishes done up for the rezax and sell one set down the line!

remember, these would be for fronts

opinions plz!!

EDIT*** heres the rears i would be after :D
