The "time attack" idea is just puzzling to me.

Nice drop but not (and never) feelin those wheels.

Without question the nicest GT-R to date IMO is easily this Harrison! If and when I would ever get this car, I would only place Black VOLK GT-7 which I believe are perfection for this car!
Ironically my choice in wheels is similar to stock, but the silver lips break up the jet black look.

looks hot but for such a big car it could either use bigger wheels or maybe a little bit more of a drop

"Without question the nicest GT-R to date IMO is easily this Harrison!"

That's a pretty bold statement for an opinion. I think this orange car can't come close to the other 2 in this thread. That's just my opinion.

I know this is off thetopic because this car doesn't have Volks but it looks so hot I wanted to share without starting a new thread. Check out this sweet thing on 360Forged wheels and whited out body. NICE!

i agree.youd have to be kind of nuts to try to mod the cars suspension. nissan did a better job than any of us can do with a car like that. companies like cobb and mines performance have dropped their cars with coilovers for track use. I wouldnt track a car like that constantly. I would leave my faith in the designers at nissan and slap some new wheels on it with the stickest rubber I could find in 20" size, a full exhaust and a ecu retune. Those mods have shown to produce about 600hp at the flywheel ( 100 hp gain)

I wouldnt want to affect the total balance of the car. plus most of us will admit that cars handle better on stock suspensions than with a set of springs and stock shocks. drop looks better but generally wont handle as well. This is a car where the main player in the total show is the amazing suspension that nissan engineers designed and developed at the nurburgring. The ring will test a cars suspension like no other track in the world. Long live the green hell

I like the drop on the black gtr with the bbs wheels, but I like the 360 forged wheels the best.

Wheels look good, but nothing beats those stock wheels, that schit is the hottnesss, much like the IS-F rarely looks better with aftermarket wheels

CL is addicted to dropping cars, and i caught the disease.... *******s!!!!

DAmnnnnnn those wbhite ones are siiiiiiiick,

my post above is talking about the red car on the firs page. This white one takes the cake on this thread, but still not sure if it beat the stock wheels


Also dont like that exhaust, i prefer the titanium wiht the burn tips from MINES.
