Those xenon sidelights are really cool too!

Wow! I remember Weds making full carbon wheels a while back (some $12k a set depending on size) but I don't think they ever produced any after what they had at the Tokyo Auto Salon. Also it looks like the GTR from the video has lower offset wheels with a more concave face design which looks much better IMO.


They're almost the same as the TC105N.

^ Yeah, it looks like he's running the standard rear fitment up front with wider wheels in the rear to fill out the TK kit.

Pricey, but stupidly light weight & well designed. I believe Mosler saw the wheels as the perfect choice for his MT900 as he was obsessed with weight reduction & I think Koenigsegg and Callaway has adopted them as well.

From what I've found the actual price varies by car. GTR-specified ones run somewhere just over $10,000 while, if I remember right, a replacement set for the MT900S is over $12K.

Things that are designed with every aspect of their performance in mind and are made to be as efficient as possible have "form." When "form" is non-existent it is usually things that are designed with a "good enough it works" attitude and with not as great resources and know how.

For me that is just a part of form. The idea being that the less you are constrained by either the more you can get of the other. Though it varies person by person as I have found things others considered to just have function be very pleasing to my eyes.

I really really really want a corolla.

By the way, that white GTR is on Dymags.


Couldn't find any better pics of that specific GTR than this one, from the dragtimes.info blog, which obscures the wheels completely:

But here's another white GTR on the same wheels. They're full carbon composite rims with magnesium centers... VERY $$$$$:

Edit:

Here we go... clearest still I could get of the wheels from the 1080p video:

Looks like the full Wald kit.

Yeah, I agree.


Also, I love 86s.


:tup:There has to be some good photos of that GTR around some Russian forums.


Here's that Wald kit on the GTR...It looks fantastic and really fits the body lines of the car.

Also...

And this...

Looks like the full Wald kit.

Youre right... its not the Tommy Kaira kit like I thought, side skirts threw me off... Nice kit for the GTR imo...

👍👍👍
I love a clean S13 coupe. I'm willing to bet this one has been posted before, but it's one of my favorites:

 

[CodeRedR51]

Awesome car....except for all the red stuff under the hood.

A selection. Cool Mazda3, even cooler Mazda5, a couple of the drift Honda Element and a couple of Fits that probably won't be to all tastes:

 

[speed junkie]

Any more photos of this car? And also, who can tell me what wheels those are?



Contributing...

This one is a repost but still awesome.

This is just horrible. It sits so high and the tires aren't even the same.

 

[speed junkie]

Nah it's hydraulics, ese.

 

[Glubags]

Agreed PB.... same car was posted a few pages back and UGH... what a joke.

 

[HKS T51R]

I've always enjoyed the sight of those RE Amemiya RX7's

They look like Work Emotion CRs to me... or a knockoff thereof.

 

[Azuremen]

That blue Fit needs to die in a fire.

Hmm, I don't thinks so. Those appear to be double six spoke (CRs are double five) and also the spokes on the CRs begin farther out, closer to the edge of the rim.

Given it's a NZ car, I'd assume they would be the .com racing wheels, such as these ones but in bronze
