This 20-inch 1-piece forged alloy wheel which looks like a slim up version of the LM GT4, is the OEM wheel that comes with the Nissan GT-R Track Edition or the Nissan GT-R NISMO.Īs this is an OEM wheel, NISMO does not sell the wheel separately. The latest NISMO wheel each weight from 7.6kg to around 9.1kg (sorry American, no non-metric system for you guys), with the retail price from 60,000 to 68,000 YEN each. The latest announcement from NISMO website showed that there will be a new batch of LM GT4 coming out this year in 2019. The last batch was produced back in 2016, which is the Omori Factory Specification batch in glossy black. That said, only a limited number of LM GT4 are produced every other year. However, other than the black version, the other colors are no longer in production. The NISMO LM GT4 comes in four different colors – Black (Gloss & Matte), Bronze, Silver & White. However, the latest models in the past few years are mainly made specifically for the BNR32, BCNR33 & BNR34 chassis. The specification for NISMO LM GT4 has been changing throughout the decades, as it was used to be available in 4×100 and in 15 inch! This NISMO Wheel has been in production since back in 2001. Perhaps the most famous NISMO wheels out there. As it was a very old wheel, there was no information anywhere on the internet what specification were they initially available in. Unlike the 1-piece forged LM GT4, the GT3 version is a 2-piece wheel. It is truly a shame that it is no longer in production and getting your hand on one is difficult but not impossible. The predecessor of the infamous LM GT3 is not a bad wheel at all. One major difference is that the LM GT3’s spoke is more on the curvy side while the LM GT2 is flat. Appearance-wise, they look very similar, both with five-spokes and with bolts. Build-wise, the GT2 is no different from the GT3, both of them are 2-piece wheels. The irony of the LM GT2 is that, despite being the predecessor of the LM GT3, you might have better luck finding them on the market compared to its successor. The only significant difference is perhaps, the GT1 is a 3-piece wheel while the GT2 is a 2-piece wheel. Both have very flat spoke and very similar design. The LM GT1 has a very similar appearance compared to the LM GT3. The NISMO LM GT1, only God knows when was in production. Priced at 28,038 YEN per wheel, this 15-inch cast wheel is made specifically for the Nissan Micra (k13). However, with the 4×100 bolt pattern available, the NISMO MC-8 PLUS is intended for the k-car market in Japan. In 2015, NISMO has stopped the production for MC-8 model and has replaced it with the MC-8 Plus model.īuilt & visual-wise, it doesn’t seem there is any difference between the MC-8 & MC-8 Plus version. However, unlike the MM-8, the MC-8 is a cast wheel. Thus, for those who are looking for a wheel that has a similar design with the MM-8, the MC-8 / MC-8 Plus is your go-to wheel. The MC-8 wheel is modeled after the MM-8 forged wheel. Like the NISMO LM GT MAG, this wheel only comes in one size, which is 15×6 ET 40 with the 4×100 bolt pattern. It’s a 1-piece forged wheel built for the circuit and it said to be 33% lighter than OEM wheels back then. This wheels originally come in two colors: Silver & White. That said, it is still a very rare sight to see anyone with this wheel on the road today. This might due to it’s the affordable price and resulted in more people owning in. Unlike the LM GT MAG, you still can find the wheel pop-up once a while at our store – Croooober. The NISMO MM-8 is another rare wheel dated back all the way to 2003. A single LM GT MAG wheel was price up to 137,500 YEN which is twice the cost of a single LM GT4 wheel today. As it was made with magnesium, it was a really pricy wheel. It was only offered in one specification which was the 5×114.3 bolt pattern in 20×10 ET 20. Made from Magnesium, this 1-piece wheel is built for specifically for the BCNR33 and BNR34 GT-R chassis. If you do a Google search on this wheel, you can barely find more than 20 photos on it. It is unsure when was it in production but it dates all the way back to 2004. The NISMO LM GT MAG is a very old version of NISMO Wheel. Who doesn’t love the simple yet aggressive design of the NISMO LM GT4?īut how many of you are aware of the other NISMO wheels, what their story behind and if they are forged or cast?
