Hey guys,

I'm looking to buy new wheels for the V, I Was looking at some of the Osaka wheels in black.. but unfortunately they dont come any bigger than 18s in black... i really liked the Osaka RS5

Osaka RS5

Cant seem to find anything similar in black, can anyone suggest some rims or at least some places to look... i've looked at jax bob jane etc etc.. dont have too much in black...

Or what are your opinions on gettin em in 18s.. I think they look great, especially when you got a nice set of stoppers behind em, but the V really needs 19s imo.. but knowing me if i get annoyed enough of looking then ill prolly just get em in 18s...

any help guys?

cheers

i was thinking the same at first, which is to get 18, but then i go ahead with 19 when i was told that 20 is the best fit.. due to wanting to buy a very nice rim with budget of $5k, i got my te37 19, happy with it at least, but for best look, it must be 20 or 21(which sounds silly, but true)...

Yeh 19-20 I think is the ideal size for the V, 21 is bit too big imo.. But i dont really want 20 as I feel you'd lose too much in terms of comfort and track performance, for the increased cost both outright and for tyres later

have you been to ultra tune?....i went to them once and asked if anyone makes look alike wheels to volks, they said no...BUT they did give me like 10 catalogs massing over 100 wheels, im sure you'll find one very similar to that...actually when i get back home ill have a flick thru them see if i can find smthing similar.

size?...19s i guess, they should full the arches very well...but i have seen this red v35 with 22s man it looked sick!

Sizes:

18x7.5

19x8.5

20x8.5

20x10

Says to call for price. Look pretty similar to me though so might be worth it? Don't know anything about these guys except it says they are in Qld, was linked to by a local tyre place here in WA, so they probably have distributors around Oz.

they aint too bad.. illg iv them a call... couldnt find any wheels on the ultratune website sethaiyaar.. if you could find somthin in those catalogues thatd b sweet ..

are tempe tyres really as bad as everyone says? i dont mind the lenso tenzo gf7

Aren't these wheels the wrong offset for a V35?

they tenzo gf7s stephen...

Doh You've got them already matt !? >_< can i ask how much they set you back?

Also you got the 19x8 on the front and 19x10 on the back rite? so does this mean you cant rotate your tyres and you'll be wearing them out unevenly and so only buying 2 tyres at a time? im a massive wheel n00b lol so bear with me..

ALso guys what are the opinions of 20s in terms of performance and ride comfort.. i do plan on tracking the car every once in a while.. not looking for peak performance but i dont want to be all over the track either.. is ride comfort noticeably bad for everyday driving...

didnt find anything in the catalogs.

question - when they state only one number e.g 20x7.5 they are stating the rear wheel width? (where the rear is wider then the front?).

mjay-you sld look at what oaksey put up, the company is based in QLD. and its a near perfect match, his one was all i cld find in the cataloges.

oh and you might wanna look at the 'Eagle' by www.gmaxwheels.com.au, its specs are pretty wide 18/19 x 8.5/9.5.

and another awsome website i came across wheelworx.com.au

Hey mjay,

Have you had a look at Big O Tyres? This is unless you are after original's like Volks etc. Big O mainly does replica's, I bought a set of Lenso rims from them which were replica Volk GTC's for a my old Corolla a number of years back. Great place to go if you're on a budget, they're kinda like Tempe Tyres.

After a brief look through their website, the closest I could find to what you were after were these...

Good luck.

Some Genuine Volk GTCs are available from "mxfly" (if he still has them) at a price before the Yen went up.

Lightweight Forged.

not really feelin the volks.. been done to death on our cars, id only go em if i were completely focussed on track performance..

popeye those rims are great but guess how much they are... 5800 PLUS tyres... :P on a completely unrelated note popeye were u on the f3 during the easter weekend.. on sunday i think it was.. think i drove past you..

Farrout everyhwere ive called either only has the rims i want in 20s, or a sky high price... Blah man i think im gonna end up with 20s :)

Oh damn, sorry about that. I never noticed the price, as I said, I was browsing through that website very quickly whilst at work... :/

F3, that the Sydney Newcastle Freeway? If so, quite possibly, was out at the Hunter Valley for the day with the folks. :D I did notice another V35 there, I think it was around when there was a lot of traffic on the way back into Sydney?

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
