LRF4N Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 The skylines going in to have a new bumper fitted and a few other bits done to the bodywork so it's starting to take shape  Looking for wheel ideas cos that's the next stage in the spring. I did have the RS5s from the zed refurbed and onto the skyline but they just didn't suit it as much as the zed   Had a browse online and decided to go for white wheels and liked the idea of 6 spokes  Rota grid drifts were top of the list, nice stance with a square set up and they fill the arches nicely but they've been done before so many times   Then I came across the dotz gtrs which have a dish rather than being concave, not as common and quite cheap but they're discontinued   Then I came across the rota torques again today in another thread. Had considered them in the past but I was set on 6 spokes then. But the more I look at them the more theyre growing on me. A bit cheaper than the drifts as well  I know this is photoshopped badly but you get the idea     So what other wheels should I look at? Def going white (marmite I know) and don't wanna spend a fortune. Ideas please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I'm not the best to comment but I like the last ones, multi spoke suit the car I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) Thanks..... I think....   It was a compliment  Back to white wheels, they look chavtastic on anything but a white car that is heavily modded imo  And it your gonna go white you need lots of spokes to show them off...

Dblock Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 The wheels on your car probably arent that bad but because they are dark and are in dire need of spacers its doesnt help. I agree the rotas are common but they do look awesome. Â What about some white rays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Ok dude step away from the computer as you are not buying those torques. How about some varrostoens wheels?

I agree the rotas are common but they do look awesome.  What about some white rays?  Too late for the dark wheels they went with the zed. I just felt it didn't suit 5 spokes. Thought about rays in white but would prefer avoiding spacers  Jay- looked at the Varrstoens but they're too similar too the grids and more expensive. Are the torques that bad? If I did get them I'd go wide fronts and rears so concave all round  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRF4N Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 Cheers wasso for the time being I'm leaning towards that  My Volks will be up for sale soon if you're interested.  If they're ridiculously cheap il be very interested how much you thinking?

Wasso Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I like the Rota Torque in standard form, let alone blinged white to match the car.  It's simple..... It ticks all the boxes.  Looks great Different Fits the budget  I know you like to be different so why follow the norm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 Yea the grids look great but they're just so common. That's the only thing putting me off. I don't mean common wheels I mean common in white... on white R33s  There's only a handful of R33s in Glasgow and Jay spotted one in white.... with white grids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
350Chris Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 (edited) edit : scratch that - both too small  How about OZ's in 18"  http://www.wheelbase...oy_Wheels__4863  MOMO Corse  Or a wild card....  http://www.wheelbase...loy_Weels__4327 Edited December 31, 2012 by 350Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 Not sure about 7 spokes, maybe if they were single rather than twin. I like the idea of 6 spokes  The white OZs have too thin spokes, same problem with the rota boost  The wildcard wheels are very nice. Like them a lot but I don't think they would suit an old school jap car. I'm fussy I know... but saying that my brother is looking for 18s for his e92 beamer il pass them on thanks  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 I'm unsure about the torques. From some angles they look the part    But looking head on I'm thinking they look average and I want fewer but thicker spokes    Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 But everything needs to be white to get a true perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From some angles they look the part    But looking head on I'm thinking they look average and I want fewer but thicker spokes   Agreed - the side profile doesn't look right - particularly the rear arch - the wheels don't fill the gaps enough.  What sizes are you looking at - 17/18/19?  What about a set of Rays LM GT4's?
