I have a set of Lenso Muse 19's on my car and have had NO issues in the last 5yrs. In those 5yrs they have seen track use, competed in various motokhana events and drags; as well as the usual "spirited cruises" and general driving.

Make sure you get correctly sized hub rings, as i found this out after 3yrs of driving/competing without them. NOTHING happened, luckily, but the potential to sheer off your studs is there.

:) Having the same profile & width as a 18" wheel on the the 19", guard clearance may be a prob & rolling radius will have changed. Also, if you have the same profile & just reduce the width (strech the tyre) the sidewalls won't be as strong, nor absorb impacts as well.

No problem with guard clearance and already mentioned the bigger rolling diameter; which in fact corrected my error in the speedo :D.

You also loose a little about 15rwkw, a little torque and some handling. Just pure physics.

bring this back up as i still havent got rims!! lol but wat do u think of these??

r lensos good?

i also want the axis hiro but tempetyres r sold out for r32 gtst!!! does anyone else know were to get them and also in adelaide?

Those rims look ace :)

get work work work if ur rich rich rich, work ar good construction, but remember there are others out there.

1 piece rims from work are the most affordable ranging from $1950 a set. Not too much different than the ROH wheels which ive been quoted $850 a RIM!!!

For prices on works email [email protected] he is dealing with work rims now.

BB out

Reccomendation: Any jap brand rim...

IMHO, the new wheels sold from most mag/tyre places in Adelaide/Aust are very poor quality and they just look out of place (excluding the ROH multipiece wheels... Those are sweet). A fair few of the traders on here/NS.com here sell secondhand jap brand wheels with decent quality rubber on them for about the $2K mark. This way you get good looking, good offset rims with good tyres. Jap rims also hold their value far better. Just my 2c.

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
