Try www.mazdarecycling.com I didn't mean to bash you about the mirrors...sorry. Make sure you tell them you have the turbo mirrors.

Inifinies are awsome....too bad you can't get them in the states that easily. I only know of a couple that have been brought over here at all.

Here's the REAL scoop on those wheels on the blue 7. The front are indeed stock R32 Skyline GTS-t wheels. But they are 6.5JJ, not 7JJ wide. The rear are the GT-R stock wheels at 8JJ wide. Trust me, I know this a bit better than most.


This is my car at a autoX this past winter. The wheels are GT-R at all for corners. They have a 30 offset. This makes the front ones stick out a smidgen, but that's not a problem for me.

It's sweet as long as you don't look too closely. It's had a hard life.

OK, I was pretty close.
Because Skylines are so common over here, I looked at these as a cheap replacement for my stock 15” wheels, but the GTS-t wheels are no wider than stock and the GT-R ones are considerably more expensive. Oh well...

No worries.
There's a reason why they used the 6.5JJ up front. Because the 8JJ like mine are a bit too wide. If you can get them at a good price, then go for it. I always liked the way they looked on FC's, so when I was on vacation and saw them I bought them, packed 'em up, and shipped them stateside. They look good, and best of all, take about a minute each to clean. Not like those stock Turbo2 wheels that I had before. Now those things are a PITA to clean well by hand.

Yeah, the GT-R fits those under much wider guards.

Good point! I've been looking for 16" S5 wheels too, but those look like a bitch to clean!

Step 1 - go to Japan
Step 2 - find a used performance parts shop
Step 3 - buy GT-R wheels
Step 4 - ship them home ahead of you

At least that's what I did. If you are already in Japan on vacation or work, then happy hunting. R32 GT-R wheels are at least 13 year old OEM pieces. OEM pieces from a car that rarely keeps it's stock wheels through it's life. Needless to say, there isn't anything special about them over there. The ones I bought were pretty inexpensive but in perfect shape. Not too shabby.

You know what's weird, I seem to remember in one of th articles I read from Road&Track or Automobile or something that the Infini 4 didn't have a rear wiper... It was basicly a series 5 Sport or GTUs, with the BBS wheels and slightly pumped up T2 drive train.

yet that one has a rear wiper, power mirrors and radio...

Whoever gave the blue car Porsche 928-ish lights should be shot. I like the black one, though.
