Hey guys,

I'm looking to buy new wheels for the V, I Was looking at some of the Osaka wheels in black.. but unfortunately they dont come any bigger than 18s in black... i really liked the Osaka RS5

Osaka RS5

Cant seem to find anything similar in black, can anyone suggest some rims or at least some places to look... i've looked at jax bob jane etc etc.. dont have too much in black...

Or what are your opinions on gettin em in 18s.. I think they look great, especially when you got a nice set of stoppers behind em, but the V really needs 19s imo.. but knowing me if i get annoyed enough of looking then ill prolly just get em in 18s...

any help guys?

cheers

i was thinking the same at first, which is to get 18, but then i go ahead with 19 when i was told that 20 is the best fit.. due to wanting to buy a very nice rim with budget of $5k, i got my te37 19, happy with it at least, but for best look, it must be 20 or 21(which sounds silly, but true)...

Yeh 19-20 I think is the ideal size for the V, 21 is bit too big imo.. But i dont really want 20 as I feel you'd lose too much in terms of comfort and track performance, for the increased cost both outright and for tyres later

have you been to ultra tune?....i went to them once and asked if anyone makes look alike wheels to volks, they said no...BUT they did give me like 10 catalogs massing over 100 wheels, im sure you'll find one very similar to that...actually when i get back home ill have a flick thru them see if i can find smthing similar.

size?...19s i guess, they should full the arches very well...but i have seen this red v35 with 22s man it looked sick!

Sizes:

18x7.5

19x8.5

20x8.5

20x10

Says to call for price. Look pretty similar to me though so might be worth it? Don't know anything about these guys except it says they are in Qld, was linked to by a local tyre place here in WA, so they probably have distributors around Oz.

they aint too bad.. illg iv them a call... couldnt find any wheels on the ultratune website sethaiyaar.. if you could find somthin in those catalogues thatd b sweet ..

are tempe tyres really as bad as everyone says? i dont mind the lenso tenzo gf7

Aren't these wheels the wrong offset for a V35?

they tenzo gf7s stephen...

Doh You've got them already matt !? >_< can i ask how much they set you back?

Also you got the 19x8 on the front and 19x10 on the back rite? so does this mean you cant rotate your tyres and you'll be wearing them out unevenly and so only buying 2 tyres at a time? im a massive wheel n00b lol so bear with me..

ALso guys what are the opinions of 20s in terms of performance and ride comfort.. i do plan on tracking the car every once in a while.. not looking for peak performance but i dont want to be all over the track either.. is ride comfort noticeably bad for everyday driving...

didnt find anything in the catalogs.

question - when they state only one number e.g 20x7.5 they are stating the rear wheel width? (where the rear is wider then the front?).

mjay-you sld look at what oaksey put up, the company is based in QLD. and its a near perfect match, his one was all i cld find in the cataloges.

oh and you might wanna look at the 'Eagle' by www.gmaxwheels.com.au, its specs are pretty wide 18/19 x 8.5/9.5.

and another awsome website i came across wheelworx.com.au

Hey mjay,

Have you had a look at Big O Tyres? This is unless you are after original's like Volks etc. Big O mainly does replica's, I bought a set of Lenso rims from them which were replica Volk GTC's for a my old Corolla a number of years back. Great place to go if you're on a budget, they're kinda like Tempe Tyres.

After a brief look through their website, the closest I could find to what you were after were these...

Good luck.

Some Genuine Volk GTCs are available from "mxfly" (if he still has them) at a price before the Yen went up.

Lightweight Forged.

not really feelin the volks.. been done to death on our cars, id only go em if i were completely focussed on track performance..

popeye those rims are great but guess how much they are... 5800 PLUS tyres... :P on a completely unrelated note popeye were u on the f3 during the easter weekend.. on sunday i think it was.. think i drove past you..

Farrout everyhwere ive called either only has the rims i want in 20s, or a sky high price... Blah man i think im gonna end up with 20s :)

Oh damn, sorry about that. I never noticed the price, as I said, I was browsing through that website very quickly whilst at work... :/

F3, that the Sydney Newcastle Freeway? If so, quite possibly, was out at the Hunter Valley for the day with the folks. :D I did notice another V35 there, I think it was around when there was a lot of traffic on the way back into Sydney?

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
