R32 Skyline wheels on FC3S

I think R32 wheels are an FC are a great visual up grade. I'm sure there are different widths though, the GTS wheels look the same but are thinner. The GTR are a better choice, but forged and more expensive. I will be looking to get some GTR wheels on my FC in the near future.

does anyone know how much the gtr wheels weigh without tires? im very interested in finding out the weight of these. i love the way they look under the fc more than any other wheel i've seen for a decent price and they are forged. ya can't lose if they are a decent weight. they look like they belong under an fc, especially when looking at the pics of rotarybeats red TII. those look like sex. if anyone could weigh a gtr 16x8 it would be greatly appreciated

your panda looks so nice. i always wanted to do something similar, probably not white though. i thought about gold, green light blue or a few other colors. your panda has always been inspirational to me lol. and those r32 wheels look like they belong under you panda fc!!!!!!!!
does anyone have a 16x8 r32 wheel thats not installed that could be weighed for me? im interested on knowing the weight i can't find the weight posted anywhere.

a while back i wanted to do a panda paint job soo badly but couldn't find any pics of one. then i stumbled across your panda fc and was hooked. it took me a while to decide against it. then i had decided maybe change the color but keep the same 2 tone, like say gold and black or blue and black but then i would always just think that i should keep it white and black (always liked white and black 2 tones way before i seen a panda job) and then i finally decided to go a different direction all together. it took me a while to make that decision. then you come in here posted pics of your sexy a*s panda like you own the forums and now all i can think about is how much i would love to panda my fc again.
you sir are an as*hole. and you should post some more pics of her hehe.

Also the lines arnt perfectly straight had some issues while i was painting(at a distance you cant tell)
And I will have some new pics up soon enough,im rebuilding the motor on it so its been down for a little bit but in next few weeks will be running again

image saved hehe. it looks good. i had thought of many different colors but in the end the white and black looks best.i wonder if it's true or just because it's what we're used to? i had thought about like a vanilla off white color too, just to be different lol. i had finally decided on gold keeping the s4 black side molding and black hood and headlight covers, side mirror's, spoiler and maybe even sunroof panel. but im starting to lean away from it. i want a little more creativity ya know. my fave color is lime green so of course i have thought about a lime green panda 2 tone but then decided that i don't want that much attention in a car that already will be getting too much attention from its pulsing na motor

lol , although a gold and black panda style may not look all that bad if the gold had metallic flake mixed into it might look sweet

im gna go and get my gtr rims tomorrow. last time i saw them was more then two years ago and theyve been in my friends garage so i really cant remember what kind of condition theyre in. if theyre a bit crappy ill be leaving them in at intera which is a really good wheel specialist here in stockholm. your pic is perfect because i have those orginal alloys on mine and i honestly cant stand them! i heard that the design is optimised for cooling the brakes but i could live with a bit of brake fade for the sake of style hehehe. im gna go london next week but when i come back ill put up pics of mine here when theyre ready!

hahaha damn man then your friend must be on hard times! the story is that i have a gtr r32 as well as my rx7. when i bought the gtr it was running on the original wheels and i decided to buy new ones straight away. put some rota p45rs on and the originals went into my friends barn/storage space. i havent even given them a thought till i saw this thread! he rang me yesterday and said they were a bit roughed up with bits missing and all that. apparrently two were "ok" and the other two were unsaveable. saying that, he said that he had some gts wheels so i might get away with gts wheels in the front and gtr wheels in the back. as far as i know the only difference is the offset? im gna hand them over to intera to refurbish them. i hope this is relevant enough so as not to be seen as thread-jacking but have any of you guys used spacers with your gtr/gts wheels? im mostly interested in the size cos i want them to stick out a litle bit.

meerkat, could you please do the club a favor and weigh those gtr wheels? im dying to find out the weight on the gtr 16x8 wheels, not the gtst 16x6.5 
if you could take 5 minutes and weigh those gtr wheels it would be muchly appreciated. here in florida, those wheels are a little more difficult to find and before i spend decent money on a set or even months locating a set i would really like to know the weight. and hurry up get those mounted so we can see them

right! long day but i finally come home with some rims in the back of my little nissan micra. bad news and maybe good news. youll have to decide cos i really cant make up my mind..
finally got to have a look at my rims his evening and only one of them was useable. such a damn shame cos theyre so pretty...
there was three gtr wheels and two gts wheels. when i mean unsalvagable i mean..
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/37/dsc0030bh.jpg/
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/696/dsc0029pd.jpg/
you can see it resembles a potato more than i does a wheel..
the one that was underneath was the only one that was ok. my buddy has a whole heap of issan bits and bobs lying around and now for what i hope is the good news.

these are actually from a nissan stagea which if you havent heard of one before is a basicly a gts combi.. i know that he had two models and i think this is from the older one. quite unusual anyway.. thing is im planning to go to a meet in norway with a couple buddies and wanted to try out my 7 on the track over there. im in london till the 28th and that leaves me two weeks to sort out my mazda before i go up there so im on a bit of a tight schedule. you guys reckon ill get away with these? of course ill be changing the tyres the ones that are on them now are winter tyres with spikes not exactly the best grip on tarmac but i really want to try out my new racing beat exhaust haharr =D
