I know that the details are on a sheet of paper pinned to Ted's office wall!

Try giving the factory a call.

If no one else has the dims handy then I'm happy to measure them up. It might take me a few days though.

I think that some of the hubs are from a Ford Granada but I don't know if they have the same stud pattern.

If your interested in wheels that are a diffrent color or design but have the same dimensions as the factory wheels contact Andy at Kinesis Motorsports. They have experience building wheels for a GTR and can anodize them any color that you want.

They are currently making a set of black K28 wheels for my black GTR.

I've got Image wheels, the offset's are

Front 9" Zero offset. (Mating flange in centre of wheel)
Rear 13 1/2" offset 1 3/4" (wheel sticks in further than out.)
HOPE THAT HELPS.

Can I ask how much the wheels will be?
I like the factory ones but will change my mind 'If the price is right'.

I think they are slightly more expensive than the factory wheels. However, they are made with forged centers and don't have a spacer plate on the hub mounting flange. In addition they are whatever color you want them.

I have the Image wheels on my car. They worked out quite a bit cheaper than the factory wheels. I have been very pleased with the quality

No they where 1,700 Including Vat, tube nuts and locking nuts. They have billet centres, and does not need the spacer, due to the fact that a wanted 38 mm Caliper clearance. So they made them with the clearance with no aditional spacers. ( One piece )

I don't know what you have shipped but the factory wheels that I have are made with billet centers and they do have a spacer that is bolted to the back of the hub mounting flange in three spots.

Is there more than one set of factory wheels in the size of 18x9 & 18x13?

My wheels are made by Image Wheels. The factory wheels are made by OZ. The factory wheels need spacers for the caliper clearance, but my Image wheels where made out of One piece of ally, and so I Specified them with the Caliper clearance I required.
The factory needs about 20mm ish caliper clearance, I needed 38mm so Image made them how I wanted them. They where very helpfull.

PS and you can have what ever inset/offset and width you want.
