They don't look too far off from the Buddy Club / Kosei wheels, which should be easier to find.... and probably less expensive. Check www.tirerack.com for the kosei wheels and see if they're close enough for you.

Not the K1/P1. They also make a 6 spoke version, but I can't remember the name. Except for the number of spokes and a similarity where the spoke meets the rim, they're not terribly similar to these Skyline wheels.
Edit - No, I guess the K1 is the wheel I was thinking of. You don't find them similar (except for the center)?

stock R34 wheels? empty bank account and send to Jspec 
or a Nissan dealer that doesn't mind getting Japan-market parts. either way, going to be very expensive. might as well just get aftermarket wheels.
dude, TireRack can get you K1s for like $200-$250 each (that's for 4x114.3 in 16x8.5 +22/+27-ish, or 17x7.5 in similar offset, forget exact specs)

The middle/center is what I don't like on the K1's. I'm not ready for immediate purchase anyhow, I will have to save up regardless... I just hope I can score a pair for less then $2000 shipped

under $2,000?!! You are dreaming. Might as well buy a new set of Top of the line Volks, they will be the same price as those wheels.
BTW, last time I asked a Nissan dealership about them, they wanted $1,200 A RIM, no tire included. I saw an eBay auction end a year ago where the rims ended at around 3,000.
If you find them for less than 2,000 anywhere, please, let me know!

why do you need GTR wheels? there's a good chance that they're a bit heavy since the'yre made for a heavier car.
if you want performance i'd say look at the kosei's mentioned above or if you want a really nice wheel the SSR comeptitions are great. they look pretty nice and more impoartantly they're one of the best quality rims you can buy. very light weight and very strong.

they are actually pretty light. they are made out of magnesium . i saw a pair of these on ebay a while back. also they r very nice and high quality cause they r on a r34 skyline. i dont know if it was someone on this forum or someother site i saw w/ the r34 rims it looked pretty tight.

A friend of mine has been looking for these rims too. We were goofing off at work the other day and ran across them for $3000 at www.skylinegtr.com

made out of Magnesium? hmm that sounds pretty cool, so if I wanted to blow some good money i could get some GTR wheels, do some crazy burnouts until the tires blow, keep goin and get them to catch fire, that would look pretty badass i think.
