What size and offset are you after? If its a similar size to EVO ones then it'd worth a call to Ross Sport. I just got some 527's from him.

Headlight intake details

They work well, are an easy fit and in the world of GTR's, cheap :thumbs:

Wheel wise I would look good and hard at anything Rota do before going anywhere else. They have such a broad range with enormous fitment options, you'd be hard pushed to find more choice.

My fave's

They suit the lines of the R32, allow loads of brake clearance and cooling and were tough enough for me to thrash the car around the Ring, Cadwell, Snett and various highways and byways :)

I'll yield to the wisdom of Ross, Gary and young Logan though.........the wheels you originally picked, the XXR's, do look mighty fine and if Ross can get them for you..........

Good luck.

Thanks for the input guys, food for thought

I did wonder about trying gary actually. I'm after 18x10 ET20. Will give him a bell.

Stu, I did consider one of those ducts and as you say, GTR wise they're good value, but reckon moving the intakes outside the engine bay altogether will ultimately keep the temps further down.

Rob, Unfortunately much as I'd like to go elsewhere I really want to get APs on the rear as they match the fronts and as it's AP not the supplier who are causing the hold up I ain't really got any choice - typical.

Mate, XXR 527's in 18x9.75 ET20 is what Gary runs on his, so give him or Ross @ RossSport a bell and tehy will sort ya.

I got 18"x8.75 for mine in flat black and they are pretty light and great value!

decision made, and v excited. After thinking I'd have to go for something that was second choice I think i've hit gold :cheers2:

So they're Rota's (and not that I'd suggest rota copy other peoples rims ) but they look a lot like the new works Meister M1 Rs :thumbs:

which can be seen modelled here on an Evo

and here naked

I was limited on colour choice but went for matt black face with gloss black rim which I'm hoping is going to look pretty "stealth mode".

First batch due in on 21 April and 4 have a "reserved for Monster" tag attached :D
