Ok,

Don't laugh! But I've used MS Paint to render the following 2 pics on my sedan.

I am after 19" rims and have rendered:

Immitation M3 rims, which need to be redrilled to 5 x114.3 by the tyre shop.....

Or pay an arm + leg for the Work Schwert SC2 rims...

If i opt for the M3s, they are a fifth of the price = I can buy them now...Or wait until next year to buy those Works ones...

Comments?

I may not be very experienced in this department, but why dont you look into a more VIP type rims? (sorry i dont know any names)...actually look into the older AMG rims and WALD rims aswell i think it would suite the sedan the best...

Out of those two i guess it would be the M3(if your redrilling, look at a M6 wheel, its a sweet a$$ wheel), the works ones just dont look THAT good....btw re-drilling?..how will that work + is it safe??

Personally I like the Work SC2 rims out of the two choices. I think xscape237 is getting a Coupe with SC2 20's on it. I thought they looked pretty good.

+1 on the drilling, how does it work? Doesn't the rim lose some strength?

Hey N15m0

Your car looks great, I have the dark blue.

Are you happy with the fit and drive? How far out is your speedo? What size and offset did you choose?

Regards

Andrew

Thanks. Fit and drive is great, can't feel much difference to my previous 18s. Speedo is not out. 19x8.5 +43 F; 19x9.5 +38 R. Front offset could have been better but beggars can't be choosers :huh:

245/40/19 fronts and 275/35/19 rears

So if u could have chosen, you would have went for a smaller + number, say +35F and +35R? Or even less? I can't make up my mind to what I want at the moment with regards to rim width, offsets, and tyre thickness...

And, looking at your car, 19s don't seem to be 'big' enough for my liking, or maybe it's just the tyres?

There's a special at the moment for the WORK Schwert rims, $2800 USD shipped + any taxes due from a supplier in Hong Kong...Details are:

19x9 +25 Front

19x10 +25 Rear

I don't know, it's all so 'confusing'....

You will definately have problems fitting those widths and offsets quoted above unless you are prepared to dump the car, run excessive camber and skinny tires.

19s on a V are probably the optimum size. Mine doesn't look THT big because I am not dumped. The lower you go, the bigger the wheel looks. Type of wheel also asscentuates the size. A wheel with a lip/dish appears smaller than one that does not. My rears are already sticking out by bout 10mm but I have rolled my inner guards. Fronts I could have gone an additional 10-15mm. I could write a whole book on this but in the meantime, have a look at the attached chart for guidance.

Thanks N15m0 (and mosoto)

Some great information, by that chart your rears should be sitting well outside your guards!

No worries. The chart is pretty conservative and does not take into account rolling guards, and lowering the car which produces natural camber. The limits can be pushed with the right setup :)

      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.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      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.
