lockys96 Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 the way they are angled, uk brakes shouldnt be a problem http://temp.australianinfront.com.au/skyline_gtr/nismo/nismo1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I think they look nice mate, perhaps not bling enough for what i would be after but certainly give the white supe a racey meaty look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotatom Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 I love 'em! Very racey but smart/classy to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 get a price from Nic for them, reckon they'd look sweet mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockys96 Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 these are the rota's, not the nismo's on a skyline. http://www.rog.me.uk/Skyline%201.jpg http://www.rog.me.uk/Skyline%205.JPG where are rota's made? think you can get a full set without tyres for around £800. im sure nic doesnt source these Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 i bet the sideexit on that skyline is loud! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockys96 Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 i think its the wastegate, would be loud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 They are made in the Philipines, I don't have any experience of them, so no idea of the quality, however if they are £800 there for a set, chances are they won't be the lightest and strongest wheel around. http://www.rotawheels.com/home.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockys96 Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 still a lot of track cars still use them, and they are very light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 great wheels mate but I dought they'll fit without issues, all the nice wheels with the concave look eg TE37 etc all look that way because of the low offset which is exactly what the skyline has, have a look at the Bee r racing wheels too, but same again all low offsets around +22, and any higher the wheels will look much flatter and not as nice imo.

lockys96 Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 the rears come in at 9.5 in et30 but the fronts 8.5 are available in et35 any idea on the difference from stock, also does anyone know the offsets for bbs lm's in 18" which i have, as i can look at the difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockys96 Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 spoken to rarerims.co.uk who are uk main dealer, and they have said they have already fitted them to a few supra's with et40 front and et30 rear. any ideas how this would look, or how much the arch would need rolling. i.e has anyone got 30offset on the rear and 40 on the front and what they look like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonkin Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Locky, can you please stop talking about wheels. I'M TRYING TO FORGET ABOUT THEM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockys96 Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 no your not right, i found my offset on my bbs lm's is 10j at et50 rear and 9j at et42 front now im just going to do some calculations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockys96 Posted May 10, 2006 Author Share Posted May 10, 2006 just used this calculation http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp entered in my bbs rim sizes for front and back bbs 10j et50 change to rota 9.5j et30 = 14mm extend bbs 9j et42 change to rota 8.5j et30 = 6mm extend cant see that being a problem, even if i used 35et on fronts it would be extended by 1mm no probs for front, would just need the rear lip trimmed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
