They don't look all that bad - but if i could do it again i'd go with a different wheel. I have the hennessey on my car in a 20'' and they're heavy/hard to clean and i don't like the look of them anymore.

Classic Jp wheels are classic for a reason. You can't go wrong with LMGT4s, SP1s, Work Kais, GT-Cs etc etc .... almost all other wheels on a V35 look a LOT like Bob Jane specials - regardless of what brand they actually are imho.

Yeah Andrew's not wrong. Whatever you do just don't buy those g*y Advanti black/chrome shit wheels i see every 2nd commodore on the road with. Or "speedy". In fact, nothing from any of those tyre places lol.

hey just want the fellow poeple opinion on the 20" Vertini Fairlday on a V35 Coupe?

Or should i just stay with my rota p45r2?

sticking to the p45r2 :)

might wait it out for some te37's or some 20 concave

I like these a lot.

Got a set in 19"'s but stuffed up on the offsets and went for the tractor fittment (ie smaller on the front) so they are not as concave on the front. But they still look good.

I can attest to the fact they stay much cleaner than my previous ones with a dish in regards to brake dust. A BIG bonus.

I recommend Stance sc-5ive they look really similiar to the Vossen CV3.

Not sure where to get Vossens in Australia though. i wouldn't mind a set myself.

      They care about emissions, and cost the most. Save weight where possible, and make manufacturing easier. Less material also let's the engine transfer heat to water quicker, and bring the engine up to temp quicker, better for emissions and getting them past their warranty period.

      I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.

      Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?

      https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild.

      Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great.
