Very nice car, not barryed up and looking good. these will be worth a fortune one day great cars, the colour really pops, engine bay Mrs bucket would be proud off.
I'm afraid you may have missed the boat on that one. These have been worth a few bob for a number of years now.

That is a really stunning car, I am profoundly jealous!
Well

you could have one for reasonable money from a place in Keighley....

The original image are 14MP had to dumb the quality right down to enable me to upload the images, I only had my phone with me, not bad considering smile
Photo quality isn't really about megapixels. Love the car though and the colour.

Love that, the R34 was always my favourite Skyline... might have something to do with the very first Grand Turismo on the PS1. I love colours like this, the wild and wacky ones from TVR, the incredibly rare ones offered by MG/Rover on the Z range (I've never seen any in the metal) and the slightly more subtle pearlescent offerings like Tahiti Pearlescent Blue... :sight: It's just a pity cars aren't offered in colours like these anymore.

Never had that problem with any of the Rota wheels iv had. Plus these wheels suit the car to a tee as they exact replicas of the Nismo wheels.

I've been running Rota wheels for nearly two years now. No problems here. Potholes ruin any wheels on small tyre profiles. I'm not sure where the bad name comes from.

perhaps it's the ste irish roads the last two cars I've had them on they have cracked.both were on 235/40 rubber I agree the rotas look the part I just think a car of that caliber deserves more than replica wheels.

Maybe, but i couldnt justify paying double the price for effectivly the same wheel but Nismo stamped on them. The Rotas are still just as light and look just as good. It meant with the change i saved i bought a titanium exhaust :-)

fair point on the exhaust. either ways it's a beautiful car regardless of wheel brand. it's credit to you
