    Wheel Budget and bang for the perpetual buck

    Hi, I have been on the market for a new set of wheels. I have been keeping my eye on the Konig Miligrams but I am no entirely sold on them, I would say that my current budget is around $1000 at the moment, hopefully that I could sell my powder coated Enkeis for a decent amount.

    Like I said, I wasn't entirely sold on them, I am putting 497whp, also I am working on putting more aero to help with the top speed I never said I'll hit that speed first shot, I implied that it was my goal. I want RPF1's but I don't see any at a reasonable price yet perhaps they are way too desirable, I looked into the option labs and they were my first choice.

    You wont hit anywhere near 190 on a 1/2 mile run at shift sector, even at 1 mile, you'd be lucky to hit close to 190 with the gearing of the X.


    Anyways.... get RPF1 or NT03, best rim for the buck

    Well, I do recall when racing a GT-R I pushed this car a tad much, I got very close to 180mph which was fucking terrifying.... Especially with the limited aero I have plus the tires and rims weren't meant for those speeds to top that off roads in this state are god awful, I didn't hold the speed because of minor gusts and torque steer ( almost shit mah pants), so I can hope and prepare for that speed, there is still room for more power in my current build.

    No you didn't. GSR (which I'm assuming you have) is limited by gearing to 165mph. And what's torque steer @ speed? Also, shift sector was a week ago buddy. You can save up some money in the next 6 months to get some RPF1's.

    Do you have a build thread somewhere? It'd be cool to see :)

    What does the title even mean? Did you mean to put proverbial instead of perpetual?
