jerry3167 Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Are they the standard GTR wheel but with the polished finishes, and new in that respect?
ben@RARE RIMS Posted July 2, 2009 Author Posted July 2, 2009 They are new in the respect that they are 19", and designed with the 350Z in mind so that the fitment is ideal
jerry3167 Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 They are new in the respect that they are 19", and designed with the 350Z in mind so that the fitment is ideal Thats great! so wheel spacers required for that wide stance! BTW say hello to Julian for me, he`ll know me from CTR owners! Jerry
jerry3167 Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 What offsets and Tyre size do they need to be for an 18 Inch GTR RIM that would fill the arches and not need the wheel spacers?
Chris`I Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Offsets and filling the arches are a very personal choice. I think mine are ET25 (cant remember sorry), and heres what they look like:
Chris`I Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Tidied at request of OP EDIT: Appears to have taken more posts than I told it to, will return them if I can EDIT2: Right relevant posts should be back now
docwra Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Hello Ben and Julian, fancy seeing you here ...........
Digsy Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 I've changed the title as I and some of the others were treating it as a general welcome/intro thread for the OP but they clearly want to keep it as a group buy thread.
nixy Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 That idea wouldn't have even crossed my mind - I just like the Rotas! We're not all badge snobs!
MattG Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Found some better pics guys. Sorry they're all links but there's a lot of them and I don't think the forum would allow them due to their size. The black car is running Eibach springs so about a 1" drop. As far as I can find out there are no rubbing issues with that combo whatsover. Apparently these wheels are called P45, not GTR, in the US so I couldn't find any info initially. Have to say after seeing these pics I wish I had a black Z now so I could go for the Flat Black with Red Lip. Not sure they'd look quite right on a Gun Metal car.

G_7294.jpg I couldn't find any pics of the bronze on a 350z unfortunately, but I bet they'd look great on a black or blue car!
Ian Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Have to say after seeing these pics I wish I had a black Z now so I could go for the Flat Black with Red Lip. Not sure they'd look quite right on a Gun Metal car. They look amazing
SunGodRA Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 I think those pics have just convinced me - awsome (mattg's pics, hyper silver) I was thinking of getting some Dotz (the ones with arrows!) but I have to say I much prefer these
MITZ@CougarStore Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Have to say after seeing these pics I wish I had a black Z now so I could go for the Flat Black with Red Lip. Not sure they'd look quite right on a Gun Metal car. It works well, see Ians zed...

MattG Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 That idea wouldn't have even crossed my mind - I just like the Rotas! We're not all badge snobs! Totally agree, I'd wear the Rota badge with pride! To be honest I think these might actually have a better stance than the LMGT4s, they fill the arches better and have a more dished effect. For the sake of balance I did have some Volk CE28Ns I bought from new on my last car and they were fantastic quality and VERY light, best wheels I've ever owned. But they really were overkill for the commute to work and I lost a fortune selling them on when I got rid of the car, despite them being in excellent condition and shod with nearly new Eagle F1s.
Digsy Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Please can we keep on topic of the group buy, boys and girls - I don't want to have to be tidying this daily!
SunGodRA Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Please can we keep on topic of the group buy, boys and girls - I don't want to have to be tidying this daily! I am definately intersted in group buy + tyres - but have to check finances - need to sort paintwork out before I look at rims, so I may have to wait a month or two - unless you guys do credit terms
Sarnie Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Please can we keep on topic of the group buy, boys and girls - I don't want to have to be tidying this daily! unless you guys do credit terms They do 100% upfront, zero over 2 years
SunGodRA Posted July 2, 2009 Posted July 2, 2009 Please can we keep on topic of the group buy, boys and girls - I don't want to have to be tidying this daily! unless you guys do credit terms They do 100% upfront, zero over 2 years If group buy goes ahead, I will try and find the money from somewhere... so count me in
Chris`I Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Guys, keep it on topic please. Only direct questions about the wheels for sale. Dont want to have mods tidying it up every 5 mins when it becomes scrappy! djtimo: You post was removed along with a lot of other posts that were not strictly relevant to the sale thread as part of a tidy up at the request of the OP.
ben@RARE RIMS Posted July 3, 2009 Author Posted July 3, 2009 I get the impression this may have been a bit busy for the mods overnight... Sorry chaps! I'll start a list on the first post now of those who have expressed a serious interest, feel free to correct me if I get it wrong.
MattG Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 I've added a few extra pics of the Hyper Silver fronts so to give you a better idea of the dish on those. HTH. A have a couple more questions for Ben: 1) Is the Hyper Silver wheel in the pics I've posted the same as the "Silver with Polished Lip" wheel you're selling? I assume it's just another naming difference between UK and US? 2) Do you have any pics of the centre caps for these, and is there a couple of different ones to choose from? 3) Can you offer any deals on wheels nuts (inc. locking nuts) with these too? Can't have old nuts with new wheels! Also the standard Nissan nuts tend to be a bit fat for a lot of aftermarket wheels and might not fit in the lug holes. Cheers, Matt.
