Where To Buy Wheels

[mjay]

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!

What about http://www.tempetyres.com.au ? I suppose only if you were trying to save $$ at the same time...

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.

[mjay]

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

although the fronts would have to be 19x8, dont think im gonna get the dish i want with that.. blahh 20s are startin to look better n better lol

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

so what are they?

[mjay]

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...

[sethaiyaar]

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...

http://bigotyres.com.au/showcase/index.php...products_id=314

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.

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. I did notice another V35 there, I think it was around when there was a lot of traffic on the way back into Sydney?
