I don't think it was the style as much as the fact they were chrome last time, sorry but I think chrome rims were so last year, or was it the year before? :down:

When I walk into a rim shop I rarely see a rim that looks the goods any more. Jap rims for Jap cars...

That being said, it's your hard earned so spend it on what you like, just don't skimp on tyres.

Hey buddy, if you have your mind sent on Chromes then get them. Me and most of the people here wouldn't go for it, but it's your car and you have to be the one to appreciate it.

Also think about getting 19"... I think 18" are a bit small for our cars.

To give you some constructive feedback, I don't think you can slap a set of really chrome wheels on a stock car and have it look awesome. In my opinion the car needs to be balls-to-the-floor, preferably with a chunky body-kit and your wheel offset needs to be pretty flush with the guard...there's nothing worse than sunken chrome wheels.

If you want to go down the chrome-path, don't go to Tempe Tyres and buy the cheap looking wheels. At least get a classic Japanese chromed rim. You can get a good price on a decent set of second-hand wheels from J-imports (www.j-imports.com). Problem is you're in Sydney and they are here in Melbourne, but nothing a weekend road-trip won't solve. If you're after $1750 for wheels, then your budget for wheels + tyres should be at least $2,500. The added bonus is a brand-name Japanese wheel will not depreciate in value at the same rate as a Tempe-brand wheel.

In your price-range you could get these Work Meisters - very classic wheel, one of the all-time greats.

SSR Professors SP1s in Shadow Chrome - Also very classic wheel.

Work VS KF - meh not to my liking personally but very chrome indeed.

Volk GT7 Noble - these will look great but you'll need to do some work to get them to fit, lowered, cambered, stretched tyre, maybe even lip the guard.

Check here if you want pimp: http://www.tempetyres.com.au/products.asp?...ages+%2D+Chrome

Personally i like the Alexia Gesalt 3, Dolce DC-12, GV-2 and Incubus Paranormal. But thats only my taste, also as mentioned before see if you can save a little more cash and go 19s :/

all those j4p wheels are polished...not chrome.

If I had to pick out of tempe, it'll probably be the zenetti pro or kaotic ...or xp dirty dogs... again out of those choices....the stock 18" on a V35 would trump

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
