what about the progressive in 19"?

Can get em, but too expensive. Over $3k for rims only. Add over $1k for decent tyres, and my misses will ban all further mods on the car :-)

Both the above will be around $3k with tyres.

Thanks Guys,

Frank, the progressive are forged as well, but I'm gonna try and get the Challenge. If all works out ok the price should be too good to refuse, but I have to wait 2 months for them to get here!

Hopefully I should be getting a Fujitsubo exhaust in the next couple of weeks and my spacer should arrive next week, so that should keep my mind off the wheels until they get here. :-)

That is good, Challenge is popular and easy to sell, I like it.

i am the only tool that voted for the progressive's then it seems..!

i just think that the spokes of the challenge are too thin for the size of the V35 guards

(i have f-zero challenge (very similar to the SF challenge) rims on my R32 and i put one on my V35 to see how they looked - didn't think they matched like they do on the R32..)

Yeah, was a bit worried about the same thing. But I don't think they look too bad :)

Bought them last night. Now the 2 month wait. Added bonus is they come with Brdigestone Potenza S-03 with plenty of tread.

What size is the ones on that coupe? for some reason they look bigger?

Definately 19's Pupl.

Check numerous pics of the wheels, and am quite happy. I think in 18's they'd look a bit weird but 19's look awesome.

Paid for the wheels, today, now the wait.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
