Hi

I came across these the other day when looking for wheels to put on my RS4S when it gets here. Has anyone seen/had them on a car or any other wheels of this brand?

I think they look pretty nice, but I'm yet to see them in the metal, or see them on a car.

Thanks

they look ok!

check how much they weigh. i would imagine a lot if they are cheapish wheels

This may be a dumb question, but how much should they weigh? Is there an easy way to find out other than getting the shop to weigh them for me?

gday

so what size and offset are you looking at and do you have any other rims in mind?

also noticed your in launceston, wouldn't mind meeting up one day.,

Hey

I'm looking at 18s, not sure about offset yet, I want to try and keep a bit of depth to them which is why I'm keen to see them on a car or in the metal so I can get a better idea what's possible.

Yep, in Launceston so happy to meet up some time. Hopefully should have the car in mid-Jan (it's on the boat from Japan next week), so looking forward to that!

Check their website for sizing and weight. Tangles has these wheels in 18s, i think. Do you have a RS4S or RS4? Wider rear track needs offset to be higher at the rears. Swapping cradles sorts that. I got cr kais 17 x 9 +23. IMO get good tyres and rims that fit your car well. Try not to use spacers.

Its going to be a long couple of months for you then.

I have 18x8 with 30 offset and my tires are 235x40, when i lowered the car i needed 15mm spacers on the rear but after getting adjustable camber arms and

bringing the camber back to standard i didn't need the spacers any more.

When you get yours down here your welcome to have a look and try my rims to see how they fit, I am pretty sure they didn't fit with standard hight,

the problem was the rims where rubbing against the coilovers which are a lot thicker then standard so i guess it all depends what you have on your car.

I'm getting an RS4S Dayz edition. I can see some stats on the webiste, but no weight I don't think.

The plan is to get wheels and tyres that fit well, I don't want to be mucking around with spacers or have bad fitting rims. If these ones don't work out, I'll try and find something else.

Haha, it certainly will be a long couple of months, particularly once the car reaches Oz and is getting complied etc, so close yet so far!

Coming and looking at different rims sounds good. The more I see the more idea I will have.

Next question, where is the best place to get them done in Launceston?

IMO dont fck around too much with the camber. With coilovers or lowered the rear wheels naturally tend to lean in, and result in chewing the inside of the tyres. This occurs because it physically works against the multi link independant rear suspension of the stagea.

Ppl use camber kits as a cheap workaround for looks, but dont reliase they are just complicating suspension components when they should concerntrate on strenghtening them. Let me emphasise again - buy rims that fit with a 9" width and good tyres. Offset and disc type is the key to a successfull fit. Remember always equate fitting bigger brakes behind them. :(

anything to suit gtr will fit

the same size all round is a must

18x9 +15 would be a good start

Cool, thanks for that. Definitely looking at the same size all round. Is the fact that they are 18x8.5 rather than 18x9 going to make much of a difference?

Basically, an 18x8.5+15 will sit 1/2 inch further inside the guard than 18x9+15.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
