They look pretty damn good IMO, even if they're not as functional as factory items they can show what the r35 can look like. The stock r35 is pretty bland in comparison.

All you jdm jocks are just too hardcore, at least the Americans are contributing in someway to aftermarket parts and development, what has Australia done...

New commodores are stock with 20s.

no they're not

Yes, VE Commodores can be optioned with 20" Wheels standard from the factory.

See for yourself: http://www.holden.com.au/www-holden/action...6&bitmask=1

man, some people don't read before they post...

so in conclusion, i was right

Well while you are so busy being "right" could you enlighten us all as to the performance reason for running 20" wheels?

There's a performance reason why they went for 20's

p.s. LOL at Holden 20x8.... The cheese factory called, they want their cutters back. :(

Don't worry, this topic sort of died already once people started talking about Commodores.

But believe it or not, my avatar picture is from a recently released CD of Japanese love ballads. There is the remote possibility that they already have shirts available!

unsprung wieght will still effect accell... ie more wieght more power to balance the same power to wieght ratio... wieght around a corner... self explanatory... wieght when slowing..... ... ok ... you put hte foot down and your bigger powa gets you up to speed.... oh shit you have to ease of and slow down to take a corner... as opposed to ending up in the wall and dieing painfully.... hmmm lift off oversteer.... nope nope.... more like understeering puss going for anchors and finding no ground.... coming into corner to fast... understeer of track into dust... wait for truck... woojoooo.

face facts....

This is boner worthy....

they are of desktop size >;P

since the GTR was built as it's own platform... why cant it look this good, be a small chunk heavier and make the same power it does now.... hell keep the AWD system and come in less than 1400 kg max... preff 1200 max but unlikely. MORE POWER is whats needed for these beasts!

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
