Ok,

Don't laugh! But I've used MS Paint to render the following 2 pics on my sedan.

I am after 19" rims and have rendered:

Immitation M3 rims, which need to be redrilled to 5 x114.3 by the tyre shop.....

Or pay an arm + leg for the Work Schwert SC2 rims...

If i opt for the M3s, they are a fifth of the price = I can buy them now...Or wait until next year to buy those Works ones...

Comments?

I may not be very experienced in this department, but why dont you look into a more VIP type rims? (sorry i dont know any names)...actually look into the older AMG rims and WALD rims aswell i think it would suite the sedan the best...

Out of those two i guess it would be the M3(if your redrilling, look at a M6 wheel, its a sweet a$$ wheel), the works ones just dont look THAT good....btw re-drilling?..how will that work + is it safe??

Personally I like the Work SC2 rims out of the two choices. I think xscape237 is getting a Coupe with SC2 20's on it. I thought they looked pretty good.

+1 on the drilling, how does it work? Doesn't the rim lose some strength?

Hey N15m0

Your car looks great, I have the dark blue.

Are you happy with the fit and drive? How far out is your speedo? What size and offset did you choose?

Regards

Andrew

Thanks. Fit and drive is great, can't feel much difference to my previous 18s. Speedo is not out. 19x8.5 +43 F; 19x9.5 +38 R. Front offset could have been better but beggars can't be choosers :huh:

245/40/19 fronts and 275/35/19 rears

So if u could have chosen, you would have went for a smaller + number, say +35F and +35R? Or even less? I can't make up my mind to what I want at the moment with regards to rim width, offsets, and tyre thickness...

And, looking at your car, 19s don't seem to be 'big' enough for my liking, or maybe it's just the tyres?

There's a special at the moment for the WORK Schwert rims, $2800 USD shipped + any taxes due from a supplier in Hong Kong...Details are:

19x9 +25 Front

19x10 +25 Rear

I don't know, it's all so 'confusing'....

You will definately have problems fitting those widths and offsets quoted above unless you are prepared to dump the car, run excessive camber and skinny tires.

19s on a V are probably the optimum size. Mine doesn't look THT big because I am not dumped. The lower you go, the bigger the wheel looks. Type of wheel also asscentuates the size. A wheel with a lip/dish appears smaller than one that does not. My rears are already sticking out by bout 10mm but I have rolled my inner guards. Fronts I could have gone an additional 10-15mm. I could write a whole book on this but in the meantime, have a look at the attached chart for guidance.

Thanks N15m0 (and mosoto)

Some great information, by that chart your rears should be sitting well outside your guards!

No worries. The chart is pretty conservative and does not take into account rolling guards, and lowering the car which produces natural camber. The limits can be pushed with the right setup :)

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
