That is a pretty looking turbo there Dave

So, what do you guys think of the wheels for my new bus? All you need to know is that she will be black, and a bit lowered

The wheels are the best offset I can go - unfortunately the offset of the standard wheels on the car are shameful, and even these wheels are a lot less dish than I want, but I cannot have wheels hanging out of my guards for a daily driver that deals with poholes and storm drains all day every day. I also don't want the cop attention. As it is they will be 34mm closer to the guards than the stock wheels, which will sit them nice and flush. (I have blacked out the centre caps, as I will be fitting them without them and I think they detract from the look of the wheel).

CE28N 18x8.5 +30 are the magic numbers .... and will be (slightly) stretching some 225/45 18s over them.

What do you all think?

[Munro]

They look killer, cant wait to see them on.

Look good Andrew, was almost going to get a set of them for my 33 before i got the Impul's. 225 will be a nice little strech, not over the top and hardly noticeable

[TALBO]

Love the wheels Andrew. Bronze or Gunmetal would also look porn on a black car, but without knowing what car they're going on they're porn regardless

Nice looking turbo Dave

No shame there Dave, a lot of guys like wide®(ish) booty

Will suit the new car nicely, definite win!

Wheels look awesome, Andrew.

[Nightcrawler]

Glad you guys approve of my new wheels ..... I have been doing a shit-ton of research on what will and won't fit .... I am still going to borrow some of the same offset wheels of someone to try on the new beast before I sink my hard earned into the set pictured .... there is not too much information floating around on my new car .... few in the country and almost no-one modifying my specific model yet ....

Sorry Abe - hadn't really caught the goss about your turbo (*I only read bits and pieces of the Wasteland as time allows).

Looks good mate - but I fear the 0.8+ rear will be quite laggy .... if you are ok that with that, then go for it. If I was you I'd go have a long read about different turbo setups people have used in the forced induction section (which you may have already done). For a daily driver it may be a bit big methinks - unless you are going to whack it on a big ass top mount manifold, and always run a ton of boost through it. Trouble is you just can't drive a car with that much power on the street anyhow unless it is 4wd and/or has traction control - that thin glooks like it was built ro run over 300rwkw every day of the week.

But hey, each to their own. If you are happy, then that is all that matters.

For me, I am more than happy to have the awesome boost reponse my GT25/30 has, at the expense of 50rwkw that a bigger turbo would bring.

[ovrtym33]

Got off the phone to hypergear and he said that would be enough to go about 320rwkw or so....for something like 260-280 he recommended a AT28G2 or something similar to a GT2871R for response and good hard hitting power

Response even from a 0.83 will be laggy as f**k considering the stock ones are 0.48 or something

a garrett gt3076 turbo will NOT make 320 rwkw!!!!!!!!!!!!

the bigger gt3040 with .82 rear exhaust housing will only just make above 300rwkw and thats on a forged engine and thas with external gate
