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.

nice looking rim, very tidy and not too over the top, would go well with the look of the car.

me personally am looking for somthing with abit more dish.. but those wheels your posted would keep well with the look of the v35 :)

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.

  • 2 weeks later...

i am currently running TEIN Comfort Spec Coilovers on the V35 they are awesome for the ride quality

i just ordered a set of these for the v35 in 19" [with guard hugging offsets] should be here in 8-10 weeks:

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.

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
