Wheels To Suit V35?

[t0rpy]

Jus a quick post as my V35 is due for pick up very soon , i'll havew some pics up when i get it (STOCK).

until then i need some help choosing wheels!

I've already decided in 20" wheels(Staggered) but i need help on opinions.

the car is silver so i was thinking maybie a darker style rim? but maybie not black?

Price preferably under 3K but might stretch abit over if its a really nice set..

I've found a set of Vertini - Hennessy wheels in 20x8.5FRONT(2.5"Lip) and 20x10REAR(4"Lip) which look ok in the picture, but i'm having a little trouble picturing them on the car! these are available for $2950. Pic attached

Sorry im not sure about the offsets!

If you guys could let me know what u guys think or have any other ideas that'd be great!

Thanks in advance

Of course the car will be lowered pretty far with coilovers also

Nice looking 20 inches. Wonder what will be the tyre size though...

Well I'm planning to get this in 19" staggered set... I'm trying to keep it sensible and not too big, just in case the 20s are not lightweight.

Sportec Mono10, a common switzerland rims for Audi/Porsches. Managed to find one in 5x114.3 pattern.

nice looking rim, very tidy and not too over the top, would go well with the look of the car.

me personally am looking for somthing with abit more dish.. but those wheels your posted would keep well with the look of the v35

few things to consider:

1. the v35 is already a pretty heavy vehicle. 20s will add to the unsprung weight. Consider lightweight forged jap 19s?

2. 20s + coilovers is going to compromise your handling and comfort. Choose your spring rates wisely.

3. If you are patient, try and source a set of used jap 19s or try the traders on this forum. 3k should net you a decent set. The v35 is in a similar league to 3 series beemers, c class mercs and lexus...I believe they deserve nothing less than a nice quality set of wheels

At the end of the day its your car though, so stick with whatever u like.

personally i actually love the stock 19's:

i am currently running TEIN Comfort Spec Coilovers on the V35 they are awesome for the ride quality

i just ordered a set of these for the v35 in 19" [with guard hugging offsets] should be here in 8-10 weeks:

the Volk GTC's i have on the car will be up for sale soon once these arrive

^^ Love em!!!

When I was shopping for wheels, I was seriously considering these Enkei's.

I think they're called GTC01, and have a nice curve in the spoke, and being Enkei, very very light weight and strong.

Tell me you got them in this colour scheme:

lol alan i wish i could afford the time attack ones, i didnt buy them because i dont have a black car. they would only suit a black car imo those time attacks

Speaking of Time Attacks, these are V35 coupe offsets too:

If you have the coin to spare, there's a trader on JDM Style Tuning using the nick "thetunersgroup" who is the official importer for HRE Wheels.

They come in a similar style to what Kari wanted in his original post, and they're very high quality.

Kari - I'd also suggest gettin 9.5" wide front rims for more phatness in the dish, unless you can get those 8.5" rims in a custom offset.
