Trying to idendify Wheels

[dfr867]

I found some wheels that look great on a z however, I can't find out who makes them. Anybody know what wheels they are and who is the manufacture?

Thanks in advance!

Well you can't find it because they are made by Nissan they are from I believe an R33 or R34 Nissan Skyline GTR. To make these fit you will need a 5 stud hub. Just to begin with but they are pretty expensive wheels i believe.

If you want something just as wild. Panasport C8R's are good I am considering getting these when i get the money some day

Doesn't it suck that we don't get the good stuff here in old US or A. I tried the link you gave me but couldn't find those wheels. I'm going to look around a bit more but I epreciate the leed! Thanks again.

Sorry. Yes I did find them. Thanks for the arrow!

Yes and no your unlucky because you didn't get the Skylines they are a good car.

You also got a 240sx instead of a 200SX which has the SR20DET(TURBO).

The S13 Silvia is a boring non turbo motor over there same with the 180sx they seem to call them 240sx's.

However in terms of Z's your are most fortunate.

An L28 Turbo can be easily obtained and I just saw one for sale for $200 if someone picks it up.

In australia they are very rare and the correct turbo parts ie: dizzy, afm, exhaust and intake manifolds, etc... are almost impossible to find.

Also an LD28 crankshaft can be found for ~$180 - $250 over there here such an item is rare to come across and goes for $1100 + was the last one i saw.

So it's a bit of a trade off also parts brand new parts for Z's are also easier to obtain and you have alot more 240z's than we do.

Guesses here are that there are only 1000 odd left in the country.

Those do look just like BNR33 wheels, but I don't think they are... have a look at the offset (dish). The wheels on the Z there have a lot of dish, whereas the R33 wheels hardly have any.

Or am I seeing things??

They are R33 GTR wheels.

Nixcars would know, that's his car.

check out his gallery:

check with a company by the name of BBS... they make the wheels for Nissan Skyline's as well as BMW's and high end luxary cars...

BBS ...

nicks wheels are custom made for his Z.

But originally they were r33gtr.

And I guess that's why they have a deeper dish than stock BNR33 wheels. Right?

yep!

I'm sure he has the finer details.

I think the wheel shop did a three piece conversion on them?
