Jealousy is not really the issue in most cases. Some cars with 19 inchers just look stupid. Get an escalade if you want bling bling. Ppl will vandalise it, cops will bust you and other import drivers will think your an idiot.

Id say go for something that performs like you want it, lightweight is better but also more expensive and dont make it too overstated.

well if you ever saw my car up close with the 20s you would change ur opinion. depends of the car as a whole. if its just a stock out of the box job with huge wheels, chances are its guna look tacky

dont bring your stupid 'your mum' jokes in here.

he asked for comments on rims, you said you like big chrome rims, most others on here said they didnt like big chrome rims.

no need to whinge over it, just deal with it.

i personally dont like big chrome rims either, i myself have 17x9" rear and 17x8" front white sparco rims on my skyline.

*Ahem* ricer *Cough cough* j/k

The whole 19 and pimpin thing just doesnt do it for me * pun intended* :(.

Must be the whole thing about spending more on the body kit than you do on the rest of the car. Thats just me though.

I like you car, but am not a fan of huge chromies.

I would prefer a set of dark spoked rims with a polished dish, in 18" or even 19". 20" is just too big and totally unpractical.

At the end of the day it is your car, take pride in it and enjoy it for what you made it into.

My 19's have the same rubber profile as 18's, so my ride quality is not compromised, but admittantly i do loose off line performance and some handling, but that's why i have 17's for the track :(. The 270rwkw helps to get the car moving :lol:

Here is a pic of my 'line, wheels aren't dished :(, but i still love 'em :P.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
