Jus a quick post as my V35 is due for pick up very soon , i'll havew some pics up when i get it (STOCK).

until then i need some help choosing wheels!

I've already decided in 20" wheels(Staggered) but i need help on opinions.

the car is silver so i was thinking maybie a darker style rim? but maybie not black?

Price preferably under 3K but might stretch abit over if its a really nice set..

I've found a set of Vertini - Hennessy wheels in 20x8.5FRONT(2.5"Lip) and 20x10REAR(4"Lip) which look ok in the picture, but i'm having a little trouble picturing them on the car! these are available for $2950. Pic attached

Sorry im not sure about the offsets!

If you guys could let me know what u guys think or have any other ideas that'd be great!

Thanks in advance

Kari

Of course the car will be lowered pretty far with coilovers also :(

Nice looking 20 inches. Wonder what will be the tyre size though...

Well I'm planning to get this in 19" staggered set... I'm trying to keep it sensible and not too big, just in case the 20s are not lightweight.

Sportec Mono10, a common switzerland rims for Audi/Porsches. Managed to find one in 5x114.3 pattern.

few things to consider:

1. the v35 is already a pretty heavy vehicle. 20s will add to the unsprung weight. Consider lightweight forged jap 19s?

2. 20s + coilovers is going to compromise your handling and comfort. Choose your spring rates wisely.

3. If you are patient, try and source a set of used jap 19s or try the traders on this forum. 3k should net you a decent set. The v35 is in a similar league to 3 series beemers, c class mercs and lexus...I believe they deserve nothing less than a nice quality set of wheels :blink:

At the end of the day its your car though, so stick with whatever u like.

If you have the coin to spare, there's a trader on JDM Style Tuning using the nick "thetunersgroup" who is the official importer for HRE Wheels.

They come in a similar style to what Kari wanted in his original post, and they're very high quality.

Kari - I'd also suggest gettin 9.5" wide front rims for more phatness in the dish, unless you can get those 8.5" rims in a custom offset.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
