We can get any wheel here in Aus. Especially from the silvia site, as taka would know and many others here.

As to shipping, most guys on nissansilvia forum ship by the container and it ain't all that bad.

Mike, those wheels are too damn sexy mate! I saw a set of shining silvers on and s14 and was sold. Glad you did it! I think Sydney is due for a cruise. C'mon mike, dave? lol

Mike, did you wanna get a sold of Rays lug nuts off eug? Maybe we can get a 2 man discount? Or perhaps anyone else would like to op in for some fora group buy?

You feel any difference with the the gangster offset? What tyres and tyre specs you running?

 

Tuan, sent Eug a note on that, my std lug's are too large, very scary putting them on the car on Friday. Need the 19mm wide vs 22mm. Rays black ones for me.

Haven't heard from him yet. If you're in contact with him get a price, I'm in. have email Access Autoworks in Melb for a price as well. No reply so far.

Drove around all Saturday, I have new rim disease, my car feels 4 feet wider!!! Kerbs seem to have grown teeth too!!! LOL!!

Mike

Cruise, good idea I'll check dates with Davey boy and see if we can sort a date. I'm stuffed next weekend though.

 

Black lugs would be awesome. I think I'll second that.

Definitely need to watch out for kerbs and potholes. Looks like no regrets on the offset decision? Hehe. Its perfect mate. The colour suits your car spot on as well.

Last time he quoted me $170. Which is a little cheaper than some places and simular priced to getting them off ebay. I'll let you know through the week. Even better if Access Auto does better deals!

 

I just got a set of red rays nuts off ebay for $135 inc shipping!

most places are selling them for 165ish...price gougers!

 

Who was the seller? Aus? MIght send them a note and check if they have any suitable. PM me the name so you don;t get in trouble with the forum.

Cheers

 

I second Mike's comment? Is this "135" AU or US.

IF Au, please PM me.

Thanks moite.

 

Congrats Mike. They look hot.

Welcome to the stoopid offset club!

They remind me of the Enkei's for some reason.

I'm up for a cruise lads. Start a thread and post a date.

 

BTW, does anyone know if the rear tail light gaskets can be purchased thru Mazda parts? I'm out of warranty so I figured I'd do it myself.
Oh and just installed rear pods and front lip, hence some quick photos!

 

You can probably fix it up yourself you know. From what I've seen it's just the seal on the top of the light has broken ... you'd have to melt the adhesive holding the lens on and take the lens off, wipe it down and then install it again with a decent solastic.

 

nate. can you fix mine? i had a good look at it and i dont know what to do. i rekon it can be fixed with some wether proof sealer

 

that would be AU

 

Big houses there Tuan!

 

I agree ... KY can fix anything lol

 

Don't worry about the house.

Look at that car, its a beauty?

No?

No.

I'm thinking of getting Mazdaspeed sides? What do you guys think? Not too keen on Mazda's aero sides.

 

Gday RXP33D. IThis might soung good or bad to you but I live in nsw with a black rx8 just like yours and the rims you have are the exact rims I am after. If you don't mind, would you be able to tell me where you got them from and what the offsets are??

 

you know they are the rims I am looking at as well....

 

Hi Matt. I got them from MXFLY on the www.nissansilvia.com forum under classifieds/sponsors.
Offsets vary, you can have a look at rays wheels website for a list, but the wheels I've got are 8.5+33 and 9.5+38, and they sit mm's from flush. Closest to stock available is +45 on an 8.5 rim however I'm not a fan of the way stock offset sits.

 

Its funny that I saw an S15 in Canley Heights today with same rims, except they were in shining silver, and I'm actually digging the shining silver...:S

 

Flynn,

I have the Shiney Silver if you want to see them on the car. Mine are 18's x 8.5 all around in +33. Got mine same place as Tuan. Best price I could find and great guy.
You need to buy new Lugs. The Ray's ones are 19mm in diameter and fit in the wheel's holes much better than stock. The wheel fitter nearly had a heart attack putting the stock ones on my car and I scratched two wheels removing them and changing to the rays ones. Budget another $180 or so for a locking set.

Mike

 

Just seeing this thread for the first time.

The wheels and your ride are ULTRA HOT!

 

Thanx mate that will be a big help..

 

 

Nice!
