Advice Jarrod on this forum any form of aftermarket rims that are not light weight, forged, and mainly japanese you will get flogged for it, i got a set of 20inch wheels given to me for a present i have been hassled and abused for them on this forum until i took my avatar picture of because they were chinese. They looked great but on a GTR was sacrilege to have. lol

So the choice is yours if you like them and they look great buy them if you are going to wait and see what peoples opinions on this forum are and base your choice on that i think you are wasting your time as you will get haters, and others that think they know alot but dont. Do what pleases yourself.

Although you will loose performance as they usually are heavier hence why the purist only like light weight forged like myself i have a set of R34 GTR rims.

cheers,,Dave.

As MR GTR-32 said you will never please everyone but do what you like. As mentioned you will probably loose a little bit of performance with the wheels being quite heavy I think. But it depends what you are doing with the car.

My mate had 19's on his r34 and it looked good no rubbing but he didn't have superlows :D so you might get some when parking or something I'm not 100% though

sorry if im blind but 19 x ? the width and offset is were your difficulty may come from not the 19" side of things.

as mentioned above these wont be highly recommended by anyone because they are more suited to holdens but hey its your car.. they are quite cheap so dont expect much and the tyres will be useless if you like traction.

if your planning to just drive around and want some wheels that look better then stock then go for it.. you wont find much better for less.

but second hand rims might be a good option for u.

mate just food for thought... i bought second hand r34 gtr rims with yokohama S drive tyres, for just a small amount more than what you're planning to pay here. they are very light, and being 9" wide they grip very well and look mean. i've had nothing but kind comments from people to whom i've spoken about them.

those wheels will probably hurt your performance (not sure if that is a factor for you), and i would suspect the tyres they provide will be nothing special.

if you really want those rims of course it's your choice, but just know that it's worth shopping around :P

It's totally up to you mate. I've bought a set of 19" speedy rims from this company and they look good. The thing that ppl have to keep in mind, is that not everybody has 4k plus to spend on jap wheels, so what ever you can afford mate is up to you. I bought the rims only off them and put my own tyres on. Again I wasn't going to be spending an absolute fortune on tyres either, so I put a set of $180 tyres under her and away we went. Oh yeah, my car has 425rwhp and I don't have issuses with traction.

Mate they are just a cheap tyre. 235 45 19. And I am talikng brand new. It's not easy finding a set of Jap rims that don't have rash on them for a decent price and that suit your ride. If they don't have rash on them they are still asking high prices for them. I went and checked out s/hand jap rims before settling with what I have now, and I will never believe anybody when they say,"has little rash" on them. Thats my opinion, not everyone elses and it is what I have experienced anyway.

235/45R19's are massive mate...you sure that's the right size?

Without widths, offsets and PCD it's going to be impossible to say.

Are you paying too much? It's hard to say. It's cheap for good 19" rims, but they're Speedy Wheels so that's not what we're talking about.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".

      What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway

      Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.

      My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
