rotas are common in the us.. but yeh sleek is where its at i think that car is perfect if i had an evo it'd look like that

At least but a boot lip or a roof spoiler...

I guess I am just use to seeing EVO's with big ass OEM spoilers which looks tuff as anyway.

evo drivers in oz amuse me. they're either asians who have watched a bit too much initial D, or white boys who are WRC fans. the ironic bit is that both stereotypes are so protective of their precious cars that they won't take it hillclimbing etc and sit there stressing about a chip on the paintwork.

fuck off you sandy vagina'd poser douchebags. your car is not the fucking automotive messiah, it's a fucking lancer with a turbo and an extra LSD. you don't have fucking active yaw control so that you can better negotiate roundabouts. drive it like it was meant to be driven or give it here and walk to your fucking knitting lessons or book clubs or whatever fuck you ballbagless eunuchs seem to like doing for fun.

Sig worthy!

:ninja:

Yeah the can looks tuff as the concave looks quiet aggressive.

I think depending on the offset for the TE37's and the actual diametre size of the wheel you get.

18" and up on TE37's you start to get a bit more concave as well.

I don't mind Rota Grids, only cos I know they're manufactured to specs given to them by a guy I know who tracks on them regularly. He's a structural engineer kent, so he knows his shit.

I tossed up between GTCs and TE37s but like said above TE37s are talked about a lot and used a lot especially on Skylines which is why I went the GTCs both my favourite rims though :ninja:

I dont really like meshies or rims that are to 'busy' like my rims on my NA, they just came with the car meh.

Rotas look ok.. but just was scared about all the stories.

this was the wheel you always wanted for the evo wasn't it?

yeh in 18x9.5 +20

17s look shit, to small

Cuz they are one of the best wheels ever!

:ninja:

Nick get TE37's.

rota grids

18x9.5 +20

they're rotas?

yeh

lol the rota's look better imo. more concave

yeh and considering that you pay $1k for a set of 18s from vision R its 4 times cheaper than a set of te37s in the same size/offset and they have better concave still

I don't mind Rota Grids, only cos I know they're manufactured to specs given to them by a guy I know who tracks on them regularly. He's a structural engineer kent, so he knows his shit.

yeah they track them in US hardcore

can even get 17s in them now but only 17x9 +25 or 17x9.5 +30

if i got rotas would need to be at least 18x9.5 +20 cause it just clears the brembos

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
