Whether they look good or not is purely a personal thing, but the FACT is they're an american wheel, which near on guarantees they'll weigh at least 2 - 3 times what the factory wheels will. This in essence DESTROYS the handling dynamics and fundamentals this car is based upon. magnesium light weight 20's with some R comps......NOW IM LISTENING!!!!!

yeah id take the cars, i mean just owning a 35gtr no matter what gay mods it has is more than i can dream about atm

+1

and you can't see the wheels when you are rolling across the bonnet naked moaning "mineminemineminemineminemine....."

I usually hate blinged up performance cars where the handling is compromised for the sake of aesthetics. But that white one looks amazing!!

Now I'll have to buy two of them!!! One blinged up for daily driving, and one for the track. *Sighs, get back to reality*

Trust the Yanks to f**k up a great handling, braking and performance car by dropping "supafly, y'all" lead weights on each corner, then lowering it so Fiddy Cent can look gangsta AND Initial D at the same time...

Where are the Volks, kiddies?!? Pics? Anyone???

the only "chromies" id like to see on one is a set of F*(k off deep dish VSKFs... slammed...

i think the tstock rims are 1" to small.. seen a pic of a r35 with GTCs in 20",.. they even looked a bit small.

my 2cents/

Many people complain that the r35 is too heavy, so add another 20 - 30kg for wheels isn't going to make much difference, is it?

I personally like the white one. I normally don't like chrome but that's the closed-face chrome rims. It still looks tough i reckon, but each to their own.

Nissan has copied jack shit. There's a performance reason why they went for 20's, like there is a performance reason Porsche went with 19's for the 997 Turbo. They're not thinking, geez, this will get me in the good books with 50 cent :D

*sigh* they just don't get it. This is such an aesthetically "japanese" car, i mean, the head designer was referencing anime/manga for goodness sake! These crappy 22's work on euro's, but they DON'T work on such a japanese styled car.

Rims are shit

i agree. Iforged,HRE etc will work on European cars. i can't see the rims (iforged) are crappy though as they cost you fortune unlike some bling bling shit on lancers/commodores...

Just a quick note you might be interested in. This may indeed be part of the reason why the GTR performs so well. Overall weight (sprung weight) _IS NOT_ as important as the weight of the wheels and suspension and other bits (unsprung weight). This wiki article highlights what it means http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unsprung_weight however the effects are potentially more important than those indicated in the article.

Thus putting led wheels on is likely to have a much large effect than putting those same wheels in the boot :D.

I think it looks good. And who said these wheels weigh 20-30kg more... get real. Maybe nissan could have just fitted 19s...but why not just go 20s... everyone is doing it these days. New commodores are stock with 20s. Soon 20's will be the new 15's of today

Ahh thanks mate, didn't know that. So the car handles rather well for a large car because the unsprung weight is kept low?

What's that meant to mean?

It was a rough guess. Could be more could be less, but the exact weight of the wheels WASN'T the point of my post.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
