You dont want 17s on a R33, 18s or above. Dont think ive ever seen aftermarket 17s on a 33GTR.

But you will be unlucky to find pics where they DONT fill the arches, Skyline owners seem to understand width and offset, unlike Cossie owners

You still on about this offset/cossie owners fucking bullshit!?

It's only 3dr's on the backs that have gay offsets! My Saph and most of the others locally have wheels which actually do fill the arches properly!

They are called Rota GTRs, not Rota Drifts.

Why you say the word Gay Dan? Just because you are, dont tar all Cossie owners in with the same brush, just most fit 7inch wide wheels and 205 wide tyres to 400bhp RWD cars

I believe they are GTR drifts because the drifts have the deeper dish to the spokes than the GTR's. Don't quote me on that though

They are Rota Torques The drift refers to the offset or something I think.

As above, if you wasnt a homo showoff Mike you would know

the DRIFT bit is just what Rarerims call the widest option of whatever wheel.

Rota Torque Drift, Rota GTR Drift, etc etc.

But NOBODY actually adds the drift bit, as thats fucking gay.

They just 9.5x18 Rota GTRs, like I have on my car.

yeah exactly, 5 years+ ago, ive learnt, on every other car since, others havent!

Why are you now using the word gay? Just the same as I did! Are you now gay?

You are taring everyone with the same brush as per your original comment of Skyline owners understanding offset and Cossie's owner not!

I've only got a 300hp Cossie and have got 8'' wide wheels with 215's all round and will go 235 on the back as soon as they wear out!

How you can say Cossie owners don't understand offset/width is codshit! It's just the same as me saying Skyline owners don't have any style as half of them still run around on shit 3 spokes as pictured above when Cossie's grew out of them 5+ years ago!

Silver ones ( actually nismo ) in the same size and offset look like this on a r33

i know you've already seen them jay, but thought id add to the thread anyway




They are Nismo LM GT4's (Very Rare Limited II 2005 Edition with 9.5x18" fitment + ET12 offset)
I think the Centre Caps + Black Lock Nuts only came on these wheels, not on the regular GT4's
