Just bought a set, but they need tires.. Staggered setup. Would love some pictures posted up to keep the warm fuzzy feeling alive.. Bonus points for white cars... (not my car or wheels below: but great example)

 

**** that's hella clean.

 

The ones I picked up...

Did you get the GTR's or the GTS's?

 

They look to be GTS for front and GTR for the rear.

 

Interesting color on them.

 

I'm not really sure how to tell, the nissan stuff isnt my area of expertise.

 

What would you guys think of them painted white for my 10th AE.?

 

I will take better pictures when I get home..
What is the difference between the wheels (GTS /GTR) If I have a mixed set is the difference very noticeable or are these going to look mixmatched?

 

The gts wheels are 16x6.5. the gtr ones are forged 16x8. As far as I know the only way to get a staggered set was to mix and match between gts and gtr wheels.

My old setup:

 

Here they are.....

 

Did you notice the different ways the spokes blend into the edges of the rim? If you can't see the difference with them the way they are now I wouldn't worry about any one else noticing. Should look great in white on your 10th AE. Although I wouldn't do it in just cause I would be out there every other day cleaning the brake dust off of it.

 

Kudos! I love R32 wheels!

 

gtst are 16x6.5 +40s and the gtrs are 16x8 +30

took me a year to find these wheels, had them for 2 days, but now they are for sale...

this is just a pic testing how they would look on the car.



yes i know my fenders are brighter than the actual paint

 

Why on earth would anyone go out of their way to create a mix matched stagger setup that includes a wheel that is 6.5" wide. Especially when it would be easier to get a matched set that's 16x8 ? The stock t2 saw blades are 7" wide....

 

Can't really speak as to the reason for the mixmatched set.. BUT I don't follow your beef with it. You gain an extra inch of meat in the back, plus they look much better then some sawblades..

 

You do gain a little in the rear, and you lose a little in the front. Its like dumping your ugly girlfriend that puts out for an average looking one that doesn't. I mean its an upgrade...kinda.

My "beef" comes from the POV of performance. Since R32's either came with (4) 16x6.5 GTS or (4) 16x8 GTR, so someone went out of their way to turn what could have been an upgrade to both looks and performance into one mainly for looks.

I obviously agree that they are a big upgrade over saw blades

 

The same style wheels can be found on old toyota RAV4

 

lol that is pretty similar!

Also the GTS-T wheels list the exact same tire size as the T2 wheels... Why is that?
[It was an upgrade for me anyway I went about it - came from phone dials XD hehe]

 

hmm who knew tom hanks drove a rav 4

 

I got curious about how much they cost...

guess the OP didn't like them

 

Not that I didnt like them, just not really wanting to use them right now.. I started refinishing my RS Reps and can't justify keeping them...

 

Aw.... :/

 

I've always liked those rims on an FC, they really fit in with the rest of the cars esthetics. You should keep them and try to find two more 16x8.
