FYI I am assuming you want these to fit a sedan? It will be a challenge to try and get the 370z 19"s to fit the rears as they are a 9.5 +15. Ur car will need to be massively lowered, stretched tires and also a fair bit of camber dialled in. For a coupe it will be fine.

Hah! Good luck with 10 +15. I'm running 10+43 at the rears and they are already sticking out by about 7mm with a mild drop. Not saying it can't be done but as a daily driver it ain't worth the hassle.

This is what 8.5 +0 and 9.5 +10 looks like.

What you willing to pay? i have the stock V35 18s off my coupe some gutter rash from previous car owner but it is fixable i have been told. im in NSW also so you would prob have to have them shipped, has Kumho rubber on them lots of tread left.

Thanks.

I'm quite newbie with wheels. Had a feel 19x10+15 would be quite hard to fit in under any car especially the front!

Ok so here is pics of my wheels. you can see the gutter rash on them, I was told 2 would just need to be machined and 2 need some filler and a machine, so i went a bit over with all the pics but i want ppl to know what they are buying, i have been told that its fixable by a tyre shop and there seams to be lots of tread left on the Kumhos you can see tyre size and brand in the pics also.

It wont let me edit the above post so ill add this also, im looking for something around 600-700 mark, i had a quote for the tyres for new ones and to get the same it was around 1.2k for all 4 i know the rims are damaged but they are easly repairable for around $300 so i think between 600-700 is a fair price, if i am wrong please let me know im just going off what i have seen sell in the forums before.

I think you're probabaly pretty close to the mark with your sale price :thumbsup: especially with good rubber, they have very minimal damage.. I bought a set to use on my Stagea that were more damaged than these for $350 without usable rubber.

The thing to remember with the Shadow Chrome finish, is the paint itself is over $200 per litre, and requires multiple coats. It also requires all four rims to be painted at the same time. It starts with a black base coat and is built up with the Shadow Chrome finish; getting progressively lighter with each coat. I had quotes of $250 per wheel for this finish.

You'll pay around $600 for refurbishment and a good 2pack paint job; this will stand up to anything you can throw at them.

Another way to go is powdercoat; from around $50 per wheel and you can get pearl & metallic colours (they do cost more).

Not trying to tread on your toes; just sharing my experience. I really wanted the Shadow Chrome, but ended up with Toyota "Tungsten" on mine; looks really nice.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
