When Mana-P and I collaborated on the design of this car’s graphics nearly a year ago, I really wondered what Top Secret Gold Te37s would look like on there. The color combination of gold and chrome foil always matched perfectly for some Top Secret gold rims. Unfortunately Volk did not have any GT-R wheels that I wanted to rock at SEMA 2008 so we ran BBS LM’s instead and the rest is history…or is it? With this GT-R going back to New Jersey where it’s home ultimately will be, we sent it back to its home in style with a set of ultra exclusive Top Secret TE37 wheels in 19″ for alternative use (BBSs will still be the daily rims).

The Top Secret rims looks as amazing on the car as I expected, but I was left wondering just how much better they’d look if there were a proper size for the GT-R (all 19″s look a bit small on the massive GT-R). So what you’re seeing in the introduction picture is a quick photoshop to bump the rim sizes up to something more appropriate for the GT-R. If only Top Secret could convince Volk to make these in a size this large…

The following pictures are the actual size of the rims on the car (still looks hot to me, but 19″s will always look a little small on the R35). The car was set for “transportation” height so it was a little 4×4 style since that day we loaded it into a transport rig to send it home. Because we’re running the Top Secret suspension with cup kit, we can set the car lower ultimately and the height can always be lifted with the touch of the remote control.

I’ll be out in NY and NJ next week with the car as we enter into the next round of tuning out there. More is still to come, believe it or not. I’m happy that we sent the Purple R35 from SEMA back to Hawaii last year and finally this car goes back to the east coast. Having GT-Rs that we’re proud to have created on each end of the country is very satisfying to us all over here!

I wonder what the next project will be…we’re always taking client requests to do custom builds so we’ll see soon perhaps.
