LMGT4 wheels for Luna
LMGT4 wheels for Luna
Hello everyone:
First of all, I want to thank a lot for this site. It´s awesome and very helpful.
2 days ago I was looking for a set of wheels for my car when I found something that catch my eye... A set of NISMO wheels, the LMGT4!
When I watched the price ($530 US) my first thought was "Fake NISMO, replicas, SCAM, Whatever!" but when I just saw a picture of the seller lifting one of the wheels with one arm my curiosity just increased. The seller used them in a Mitsubishi Eclipse...
I just contacted the seller for a meeting and watch closely the wheels. When I inspected them closely I noted this in all the wheels...

I almost laughed in a evil way when I saw the mark in the wheels. Everything was OK and after a little test I bought them.
Here is how they look in my car (Yes, HER name is Luna)
Rear wheel




Front Wheel

Yes, I know. It looks sad and ugly without the tire.



For the moment the wheels will be waiting for the tires. With a little of luck they will use Nitto or Michelin tires.

And yes, I know that this set is for a RWD car. Even I can sell them for a very good price and get some profit!

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Greetings!

Well. After a few time and a lot of work I got the chance of get 2 tires for make a test with this wheels.
One of my friends give me a pair of old 245/40 R18 Yokohama tires (Thanks a lot Fernando
) for this test. And yes, both tires has been equipped in the front and rear wheels, and after a little test drive I can give results:
- No rubbing
- No noises
- Excellent look
But, more pics and less blah blah blah
The wheels (R & F) with the tires equipped

Luna with her news shoes. (Yes, she was dirty... Damn rain season!)


Rear wheel fitment (245/40 R18)

Front wheel fitment (245/40 R18



The front wheels will be equipped with 235/40 R18 Z4S Victra Maxxis (ordered and waiting for pick up). Why? Because the 245/40 looks a little chubby and I´m planning to do a little of roll fender for a best fitment according to the body line.
And in a few more time I´ll equip the rear wheels with 245/40 R18 Z4S Victra Maxxis too. I´m trying to give her a nice look, just after a better performance.
Also, a big benefit about this wheels it´s:

I got a lot of space for a BBK

Well, after a little dropping in the front (about 1 inch) and the new front tires equipped. I can say that the handling it's different:
- I don't need to press a lot the gas pedal, because the wheels are lighter and she moves more easily.
- The turning feels a little different but nothing that I can´t handle.
- You got a better sensation of the road.
- And a better look
How she looked before the drop

And after the drop




I´m not planning of lower her more, because the city it´s infested with potholes and speed bumps and I don't want any issue with that.

Needs more low 
Potholes? Speed bumps? Guess what? We live in the same world and that didn't stop me
Hopefully I'll be going lower next year 
Anyways, nice find
