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.

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
