V36 Skyline Sedan - New Wheels Xxr 530 Vs 527?

[Guest]

So... My V36 Skyline is soon to arrive to Australia, and I'm looking to change from the 20" aftermarket wheels currently on the car to a nice set of Matte Black wheels preferably available from Ozzy Tyres (online) and from the manufacturer XXR.

I'm looking for the best 'bang for value' \ value orientated set of wheels that look good, are relatively wide (and more flush, than tucked in appearance) and of course are legal - so I believe 18 x 8.75" on the fronts / rears are the way to go... unless someone suggests it's worth it to spend the extra $300 for the staggered rears setup (I believe they're 9.75" on the rears)

PS: Will 18's look too small on my V36 Skyline compared to 20's at the moment? Also, I won't be lowering the vehicle... Does anyone own a V36 Skyline *SEDAN* and have either of these wheels fitted?

Unless you can recommend another online (or local store in Adelaide) Ozzy Tyres seems to have the best range and value options with free shipping and guaranteed fitment.

What are your thoughts on the following wheels?

They're to go onto the following vehicle...

Any photos and information / help will be much appreciated!

They look great.

But remember it's your car so best to have what you like

Cheap looking wheels look like a cheap suit , doesn't really matter which XXR rim you buy , you can't hide it .

Just buy some stockies again

I have avant garde m310 which are very similar to the 530 you have listed went with 20s in the staggered option got 8.5" +30 in the front and 10" +40 in the rear painted in dolphin grey from ozzy tyres, tyre wise 245/35 fr and 275/30 rear. Go staggered the extra width allows a much better launch, reducing wheel spin considerably....

if I had my time again would go a less aggressive offset in the rear maybe +45 and get a 285/30 tyre in there which would have almost identical rolling diameters front to back and slightly more sidewall.

As for ozzy tyres, good luck. First set they sent me was drilled in the wrong stud pattern second, second set the painter hadn't applied a primer and now the paints flaking... Just waiting for a time where I can get them powder coated.

None. XXR make nothing but shit for hardparkers who can't afford decent wheels.

Better off going OEM style wheels mate or if you can afford some nice Work/Rays wheels

Will the Forged Ray's 19" Wheels from a V35 be a straight bolt-on without needing spacers?

How will the offset look? Tucked in or near flush?

I have those on my friends V36 coupe at the moment which has same offsets as a sedan. They sit near flush compared to the OEM wheels these cars come with.
