New wheels for the R36....

[Nath]

So after a long long wait I had my new wheels installed today, only one crappy iphone pic though...

Stats: ADV.1 10.1 Forged one piece, 19x8.5 running on 235/35 Michelin Pilot Super Sports, car is sitting on H&R springs for a small drop too, not sure if its enough though...

bad iphone shot...

Honestly, doesn't look the million bucks they are apparently worth. HRE's (even the ugly ones) or similar at least "look" special.

Looks good, but i'd want a lot more for spending that sort of money on wheels.

You know the 20x9/11 Bimoto's would have looked better on the 36 by far Nath


Springs don't cut it either, need coils at the minimum.

u said what a lot of people think. i agree, for all the money they cost, they look no more special than some rays engineering rims which would be half the cost

Well for starters they didn't cost a million bucks and are far cheaper than HRE which I think are all ugly. If you want the overstated bling with the high cost you can go the three piece forged in a number of designs, I prefer the understated, and again wheels are a personal choice.

I agree on the springs, will wait a few months though before making a coil move. As for the bimoto, they're more expensive and arent forged so the choice there is pretty easy.

Yeah RAYS would have look similar but having touched both, I prefer these, and if you go the right way about it the cost isn't as high as advertised.

thanks mate, I think they look good and suit the car, better with a bit more of a drop.

tyres are awesome, corners that little bit better now

I think the wheels look hot Nath!
I've seen them in life and the photos don't do them justice!

Hot wheels Nath, when you get a chance get that BBK to set them off!

I reckon they're a good design, not a fan of the colour combo but each to their own. Nice choice on the tyres. Get a decent pic up of the whole car and people might change their tune

Bloke at work with an R36 was looking for wheels for ages and its funny how varied personal preference on wheels can be. Every suggestion I gave, he didn't like and every one he asked for an opinion I didn't like hehe.

According to here:
MTM > Products > MTM Bimoto Rims - 18, 19, 20, 21 inch

Bimoto 19s and 20s are forged?

I have been there, the shop is awesome!

Forged is such a consideration, track?

Just sounds like you wanted to buy the ADV.1's to be part of the crowd Nath, thought you were outside the box with your previous Bimotos.

At least people know RAYS and know they are the shiz, they don't look special enough for your car at all oh well. Long as you're happy!

just need a quick detail, a SLR camera, a good background and a bit of photography talent, the R36 will look as porn as these:





that iphone photo is just like Jennifer Hawkins' right ankle to foot shot :p

Wow, I didn't realize that saying to someone that you didn't like his new wheels would get someones back up so much, and it wasn't even the OP... I'm going to add to it... They are very nice wheels, but it was a bad shot, so I am reserving my opinion till I see the full car... Other than that, if someone had an opinion on my car, good or bad, I would take it onboard...

Meh, I don't give a ****, I have a Polo GTI, the worlds fastest car!!

[Silver dub]

Hey Nath,

I'm keen to see some side on shots of the whole car.

[Nath]

hey mate, yeah when I get a chance, sadly my car is not my one and only priority so she doesn't get all the attention she deserves at times, and to be honest its nice to share but I've better things to do than take time to get photos and put them on a forum where the keyboard warriors get on their hater wagon.

Schoona considering the 18" bimoto are in excess of $3.5k a set which would push the 19s at least into the low 4s, I'm more than happy with the ADV. It took me a long time to pic the bimoto for the GTI as I thought they suited the car well and weren't common nor over the top, the same applies to the R36, IMO the bimoto look crap on the passat and the ADV10.1 that I went with look great, the colour may not be to everyone taste but like I give 2 s%$ts what they care, my car my taste, don't like it dont look.
