I figured they were going to be more of a show wheel than a track wheel and I've already got too many sets of wheels floating about to warrant having a set of each at the moment. Also although doable (Phil), it was going to be a lot easier to make my front Brembo conversion work if I had at least 17" wheels. As it stands I was going to make them work with standard diameter 282mm discs, but really I want bigger 
And now what with my new arch extensions and the desire to cut my arches out and do the job properly, I can go for wider rims too. Where as the SA3Rs were 16x7J et35 & 16x8J et38 I was now looking for 17x9/9.5 et12 ish
Rota do 17x9J et12 Grid Drifts which is what I was keen on, but that particular spec was only available in the USA and shipping to the UK was going to be a bitch. The other alternative was to go for a 5-bolt hub conversion and then get the same spec'd wheels but 5x114.3 PCD which were available in the UK.So, Secia came to my aid and sorted me out with this lot...
You'll have to take my word that they all have 5 studs
Front knuckles with hubs and rear hubs. Cheers Secia 
The pic makes them look rougher than they are, but everything is going to get blasted, treated and powder-coated anyway. I still potentially have to do some fabrication work on the front knuckles to get my Brembos to fit as well.
So with those in hand, next was to sort out wheels. It was either between Rota Grid Drifts, Torque Drifts or GTR Drifts. I usually like to stay away from Rotas as I prefer originals, but they did exactly the size/spec wheels I wanted and more importantly they were affordable. At 9" wide with an offset of +12 the rim was going to sit further in the arch by 4.75mm compared to my OZs which are practically OEM width and offset, so I'll have no rubbing issues there, and then they'll protrude a further 58.75mm past the OZ's externally, which will work perfect with my 65mm wide arch extensions. So I got on to Scott at H-Tune knowing he is a Rota dealer, meanwhile I was checking out ebay, Wheel-Whores (Shockingly bad site btw) and Driftworks. There was quite a few 18" Rotas floating about which I toyed with the idea of, but I still wanted a reasonable sized tyre sidewall, so that would have meant a larger rolling circumference, thrown my speedo out, but my biggest concern was that it would heighten the potential for rubbing issues.
Anyway, I digress, I spotted some rims on Driftworks, they were 17x9J et15, but they were in Chrome (I don't like chrome). I contacted the guy anyway, but then also searched for the rims on Google as I'd never heard of them before. It turned out they were a discontinued JDM rim and were replicas of Skyline R34 rims
They're also very rare now and quite sort after in the Nissan Drift scene. And I was in luck!... Google also uncovered a current ebay auction for a set and they were in white. Admittedly they were in dire need of refurbishing, but at the starting price they were a potential bargain and I wanted to powder-coat them black anyway. I contacted the guy asking for some better pictures and I then cheekily asked for a Buy It Now price. He sent the pictures and asked for just an extra £25 more than the starting bid 
So of course I bit his hand off!... And they arrived today ...
This is the first one and this is also the worst bit of kerbing out of all of them, so not bad at all
...
To give you an idea of how wide they are with 225/45 tyres...
Two, with centre cap (There are only two, but I don't really like them anyway)...
Three, with the second of two centre caps and good job I wasn't counting on using the tyres
...
Four...
And a comparison of the stack against the SA3R stack lol...
Glad I discovered these... I like them a lot!
Great Company Grenade GX-01 Rims
I also had a rebuild kit for my Brembos arrived today, so of course there's a picture of that too...
