Found out from a mate that there's a guy in briz vegas that chops rims an makes em wider . . . Anyone knw about this ?

ive heard about someone making a wheel have more offset by like welding on spacers or some shit

sounds backyard to me man and backyarders are dodgy

Your life depends on the 4 wheel! No dodgy... noo......

Hahaha... I didnt realise the offset. I still dont get it though. What I've gathered is most common offsets are greater than 20 and for most it'll be above 30.

Someone gotta gimme a lesson on it someday.

The Harrys meet might be good tonight. HATE TAX and 57NGR seems to be going too... Hahaha. Chicken Schnitzel here I come!

For those that MIGHT be interested, Adam (brizzy_rocker), John (yaface) and I will be there for dinner.

old lessons for old brandon

lets just say a 7" rim with a 45 offset is epic epic fail

so now you can see why the lower the offset - the more the wheel will stick out of the guard

Oh nah I dont want that, this guy chops em and welds pieces in the middle to make the wheel wider on the inside so you can fit bigger rubber on :blink:

so just as an example; all these rear wheels are 9" ok, but with different offset

+30 offset

+20 offset

1232000662.jpg

+10 offset

0 offset

-5 offset

now yes the guards and profile/width of tyre can vary n shit - but you get the general idea

class dismissed

Oh nah I dont want that, this guy chops em and welds pieces in the middle to make the wheel wider on the inside so you can fit bigger rubber on ;)

personally i'd sell your wheels and get new ones which are correct width/offset etc

Still dodgy. It'll be even worse if you have a high powered car. Anything thats broken (intentionally or unintentionally) will not be as strong which is why 1piece forged rims are so exp.

Tris: guess what? I'm an idiot again, seems like always managed to go on the wrong channel all the time. I thought you were referring to the offset when you said 7... HAHAHA. Yes, 7" wide is fail. Fit maybe 205? I wish mine were like colin's 10.5 ;)

If you find that pic of my car you will see what 17 X 9 +24 is like. Althought I have rolled/flared the guards a bit.

What are they anyway?

Back on those pic, yea I sorta figured out the difference between positive and negative offsets but I remembered someone told me its related to dish. Say if you've got +22 and +15 on the same wide and size rim, the +22 will have more dish and this is what confuses me. What I understand from looking at those cross sectional diagrams is the offset's got nothing to do with the dish size, its the width and rim design that dictates it. What offset does is determine how much your wheels will stick out or in from the hub.

correct...cause spacers are for LOSERS!!

Not really man.

Simon's wheels are some of the strongest and most expensive and some of their models are 3 piece. They are made to your order though.

Forged rims are expensive because they are strong and light.

You might also find that some welded connections are just as strong as some metals....but you can't cut and weld forged rims, because they are magnesium alloy, because it weakens the alloy. Steel rims you can.

Dish man, is just a term for what some wheels have when the spoke doesn't protrude to the edge of the mag. For example. An XD9 Work rims has dish...and XT7 work rim does not. even though they can be gotten in the same size....dish is just a wank term used to discribed the flat surface between the spoke and the edge of the wheel.

What are they anyway?

My rims are Volk GT-AV - 19" x 8.5F, 9.5R not sure what the offsets are though the back fits perfect with f**k all camber and the front are about 10mm inside the gaurds

correct...cause spacers are for LOSERS!!

Yeah Im not a fan (got none on mine) but it is hard to find wheels that fit perfect

im more into Lucy Pinder, or maybe Kim Kardashian, or if i was in a cougar mood perhaps Monica Bellucci or Cathrine Zeta Jones

Lucy Yes, Kardashian doesnt do it for me at all

over. rated.

True

Pretty good price and looks good too!

Fail width, Fail offset

ugh shit i just saw that those bc's are 17*7 fail!

Think thats for steelies mang. 3 piece rims you can get new outers for, but they are not chopped.

Was going to go into this but seems its been covered already

The Harrys meet might be good tonight. HATE TAX and 57NGR seems to be going too... Hahaha. Chicken Schnitzel here I come!

Harrys fail ;)

Good job

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
