bonzelite compares skyline tails, some cardomain pics of his car

i finally got a cardomain page. you can see photos of the Skyline R32 factory rims mounted to the 3rd gen SE here, as well as a comparison of R32 and R33 tail light assemblies compared to size and shape of 3rd gen assys.

hope you guys enjoy my first cardomain offering.

like the rims, they really stand out against your white max. the taillights will look nice but it's gonna take a lot of work. i'm guessing you will have to rewire as well.

i need someone who knows what they are doing with metal work and electrical. and i will need a huge supply of JDM replacement bulbs. autozone will be useless as well as the dealer.

why JDM bulbs?? maybe I can't remember correctly, but when I looked at the set of R33s they were standard 1157(or maybe 1156) bulbs

wow those rims are real hot, especially for rims that came stock with a car, they're great, although i'm sure the pics dont do them justice

yes. BCNR33 >>>17X9, 114.3, +30offset, 245/45/ZR17. that would be the widest i would go if you run them on a maxima.

the BNR32 rims are lighter than the stock Maxima SE rims. i felt the difference immediately upon mounting them on the car.
