Anyone Seen These Wheels Before ?

That's freakin' cheap. Mine was $3k plus tyres.

MAKE SURE you ask what is included with the $2.5g! You don't wanna be slapped with extra charge of this and that especially with your aftermarket parts, they'll probably gonna charge you labour cost to remove them, fit std parts on for compliance, then refit your parts back on after compliance, that could sting a bit.

could be an earth wire kit (I hope for your sake) which is said can improve voltage stability and give a bit more power, regardless whether you're skeptical about it or not...

if it's some dodgy wiring from previous owner, then I wish you the best of luck it didn't stuff up

welcome to the world of importing cars from Japan!

don't let the rarity of an expensive jap wheel deter you at all. If anything its a plus that you're getting it with the car. You will also have slightly better re-sale value once you get sick of the wheels and want something else. Definately unique looking wheels and better than anything you can buy locally. I vote you keep it, and lower the car to suit

Looks like a wiring earth kit and quite a well done one, as they can sometimes be everywhere.

The 2.5g doesnt include tyres. I was told that the tyres on the car are in good condition so therefore didn't need to buy new ones. And how much can they charge to take things on and off cant be more then a few hours work , so anothe couple of hundred max .

Manda-those wheels are hot dont loose them just yet. The biggest issue is the fact that they are 20Inch which means rubber is expensive. etc. fact is you will scratch any rim at some point. Worry about it only when you've knocked them round a bit.(swap them if you must for 19's)

My 05 premium is chipped (not sure but must be Impul from all I see/hear), and has the slightly bigger exhaust. It runs like a Dream on 98 Oct so dont panic. No problems starting at all !. The power output at the engine with the chip & exhaust will get you around the 221kw (298Bhp)or over 200 hp at rear- no problem.

Compliance cost 3K+GST. (three people quoted exactly that figure)). Exhaust changes will be at cost to remove then replace once complied. +Tyres separate.

As others have said check they are doing everything.

Sorry-they are 19inch rims-Just unusual to run 35 profile. Normally run 40 for 19's. But shes running slightly wider fronts 245 (i/o 225) so guess that offsets.

Thanks for your input. So is your chip impul as well and what does it do ? I have the fujitsubo exhaust system as well have you had it dyno tuned im curious to see. I was thinking about selling those wheels and getting something a bit cheaper to give me some money back from the compliance , etc.

Also yes they are 19" . The tyres are 245/35/19 and not sure about the rear maybe bigger. If i have to buy some more tyres i will be very angry ! What colour is yours and what wheels you got on it . Do you have any pictures . Mine is a 03 model.

Here is my o5 coupe. Not sure what the chip is. I know all standard V35's pull 206kw.Add the exhaust & chip and the I few a saw/test drove were all quoting 221kw(298BHP) which is easy to believe. You loose about 30% to the back wheels. (so near enough).

Look at the wheels another way-Check what you would get for em now & if its alot less than a decent set of 19's you will be out of pocket anyway. Better to hang on to them. otherwise choice is yours..
