If those wheels are what he's describing they weigh 13 lbs. Not as much as you'd think but still a lot of $$ for oversea's stuff. Anyways, those wheels are 17x9 anyways so they won't fit. Been there, done that..

17X9??? So are my wheels, and they fit with 225/50 ZR17 tires just fine with ST drop, no rub.

I would be more worried about the fact they are made for a RWD car than the fact they are 9 inches wide...

I love how he says the tires where only used three days and have 90% of the tread left. Oh and the whole "perfect for the boy racer look" H

Nice R32, newbie Skyline. Looks to be in great shape! You are obviously very proud, that's an extensive collection of photos you have. The shots in front of the Rockies are great!!
Just one question... what brings you to Maxima.org ?? Do you have a Maxima also?

Thank you! Yes, I'm very proud of it. Wanted one since 1989, I was 18 at the time.

I don't have a Maxima, the reason why I'm here is that I'm a Nissan guy (like my dad) and also a small time investors in NSANY. I like to follow Nissan news when I have the time. I was considering convertible 350Z or G35 as my daily driver but decided to go with a used Audi A4 (I sold my Passat to make way for the Skyline, couldn't keep them both at that time).

My next Nissan will propably be a project 240Z or 260Z.

Oh, hell no! I wasn't being mean at all, he knew that. How could that have sounded mean?? I'm giving the guy due props for a nice GT-R that has been kept in great shape, and also for some great photo spots (in front of the snow covered Rockies). What the hell is mean about that???

I wouldn't buy a set of wheels from Austrailia, or anywhere for that matter, without a picture.

Don't believe him that he doesn't have a Maxima or that he has a GT-R?? He obviously has a GT-R, there's pics of it all over his site. I have to assume he's legit because it's not at all outlandish to own one anyway. I have a friend of the family that lives in CHICAGO and owns a black R33. Having one in Texas isn't that unbelievable...
