Hey all! I just bought these.....I thought they would look ok but now that they are on the car, i F*kn love them, especially going from the stockies. Pics dont do them too much justice...will get better ones as soon as the next sunny day rocks up here in tassie....could be a wile :(

[Edit]: Btw they are 17x8s on the front and 17x9s on the rear. Thinking about painting my calipers. What colour should i go??? The norm red or should i go white or something??

Very nice!!

I love em.

I reckon go red/blue on calipers if you want em to stand out but I would go black with 'nissan' white.

The black will just make them look clean where as I don't reckon stock brakes are big enough to be bright.

I love black rims, almost all of my cars have had black rims.... and they look great...

a good early morning or late afternoon photography session will really bring them up lookin good... try a shot from down low, really makes the rims the focus of the shot... with the sun behind you...

I'm not a fan of the blue or red nuts though, all black I'd even be tempted to paint the centre cap...

then some black racing graphics......... yeah I know...

Thanks for the replies!!! Hmm, yeah, i wouldnt go gold calipers simply coz itd look like i was trying to look like brembos. Red mayb, but yeah, black with white nissan would prob look sexy!!! Ill get some pics up tonight of sunset and see how we go!! WET-25T, i was thinking about it, but originally, i was just gunna get these rims as "In between" wheels (i got them for $600 second hand off a mate), but i dont know now, i think ill keep them on there for good. Also, i was contemplating pilishing the outer edge of these ones, but thought that it'd prob look gay and make the rims look smaller, as they are only 17"s. Any other suggestions on calipers??? Leaning towards black with white nissan atm....

      My 3.8 kW system (when new, not so much nearly 20 yrs later) will do 21 kWh per day (best few months of the year), and that's with an afternoon shading issue. So it really could/should be able to do maybe 24. So a 6.6 kW system probably cannot fill a 40ish kWh battery from scratch, but then it is very unlikely to ever need to. Let's presume that you use 10-15 kWh during the day and stash the rest. So long as the battery isn't drawn down below ~50%, it'll be fine. And that draw down presumes using 20 kWh overnight, which is a reasonably heavy draw. So that seems reasonable. The 40kWh will be good for extended outages, and very bad days where you get almost no generation for a day or two. Might struggle to top it all the way back up after it gets pulled all the way down though. I'd think you'd probably want about 10 kW of panels to make life a little easier, wrt keeping a 40 kWh battery charged. But then....does it really need to be at 100% every day? Probably not.

      Am I wrong in thinking that there is a hell of a lot of battery storage for a 6.6 feed into it Your battery is around 4 times bigger than the battery that is going into my place in a week, but I have nearly twice the feed Will the batteries actually ever get fully charged?

      Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?

      Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS

      Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
