Help on Rim decision on 08 m35s!

[lburton]

looking at the Niche Targa sizes in 20's of course, If i'm looking at going staggered, it'll be 8.5 in the front (since they dont have them in 9's) and 10.5 in the rear. I'm guessing a 40 offset will work in the rear but not sure about the front. To be flush in the front, do any of yall know what offset will work?

Those NICHE definitely look better than the CV3 go for it!!!

Flush fitment with an 8.5" in the front you're looking at +30 +35 mm.

Thanks for the offset numbers! I'm definitely leaning towards thode wheels especially at that price point! I like the style of them also. I'm hoping in the next couple of weeks I'll be able to order them. I got rear ended last week which scrapped my bumper minorly in which I think majority of it I can buff out but if not, her insurance will take care of it!

I'm ready to get my car ready for the summer time

Well i started looking through Niche's site of wheels thanks to CPJ LB and now have my eyes on these Niche Targa's as an option. They pretty much similar the Velgen's VMB5 wheels vasekvi are interested in!
What do you guys think? Will be lowered tomorrow and next step will be the WHEELS!



Best picture i could find of them on the M

hey, good choice!!! has that Euro/classy look....I'd go for the 20's as well... my wheel/tire guy sells a lot of Niche wheels....I've seen most of them in person and must say that Niche wheels has really stepped up compared to years past... As far as Vossen, great looking wheels but for the price of their 1 piece wheels, you can get other wheels at a better price. Vossens are also 'heavy'... and based on the experience that my wheel/tire guy had dealing with Vossen's service -- no comment...let's just say, there's a lot of money well spent on marketing but they skimped on the service end....I'm all about service from start to finish.... just say'n. I'm probably gonna save up for a new set of summer wheels and keep the stock sport wheels for the winter....

here's a good look....multi spoke...concave....

Those are pretty nice. Reminds me of the Konig tantrums I use to have a long time ago being that they're 7 spoke. I'm pretry sure those are 10.5 all the way around by the look of it...I'm not sure how I feel with 10.5 wide wheels in the front... those look to be the most concave wheels by niche I must say!

Thanks and that's good to hear. I have yet to see the newer niche wheels in person and hopefully I'll find a dealer in my area where I can check them out before ordering.

Excited to finally get these tein h springs out of my trunk and installed today!

[06M4.5]

you can always do 20x10 et40 all around

[40belowceo]

I would go with the CV3's IMO. There are also other brands with a similar look for half the price.. KMC makes a nice wheel. Check it out..

Well, step one completed! Finally lowered on the Tein-H springs that i've had for 2 months sitting in my trunk. Loving the look so far and noticing it settled more this morning! I def need spacers if i keep the stock wheels BUT i'll be getting estimates on wheels this weekend! Leaning towards the Niche Targa's . Now i'm getting anxious!

[vasekvi]

Looks good. Got any more pictures of a closeup of the tire to fender?

I'll take more pics and post them this weekend hopefully after i wax it!

Ok cool cause I was thinking about going with STECH and 15mm spacers for a while before I get new wheels. Keep up the nice work. Don't forget to PM me

I thought about the Stechs but with my commute, i figured it would be too low. Plus while shopping ebay, i ran across the Tein-H's for $100 so couldnt pass them up!

PM'd sent

if you still looking for wheels, these guys got some pretty nice wheels for sale.

Ok...I didn't realize until now that the rear offsets that I was looking for is not offered in the Niche Targa's. I was originally looking for 20 x 10.5 +40 or +45 offset. Going through there spec sheet (see link), the 10.5 rears that fit our lug pattern only comes in +30 offset. Does this mean that the rims will stick out or be more inset that i'll need spacers to flush them out?

http://www.nicheroadwheels.com/cms_pdf/ ... Targa2.pdf

The 20 x 10 are offered in a +40 offset but my reason behind wanting the 10.5 vs the 10 was that the 10.5 concaves more. I'm trying to nail this down so I can place my order here soon so if you all can help/ suggest my options, I will def appreciate it!

[06M4.5]

20x10.5 et 30 will stick out, et45 would almost be even.

Small tires, a pull, a low drop and camber will help but not needed with et 45

Thanks! Looks like if I'm going with the Targa's, 20x10 +30 is my only option for the rears.

Well fellas, Its wheel time! I (at this time) narrowed it down to two choices and wanted yalls feedback. Top two choices are the Niche Targas and the Avant Garde M510. Yea i know they are very similar but still have suttle differences. I can say I like clean lines of the AG wheels more. I guess during my (hopefully non busy) day at work, I'll be wheel browsing/ shopping! What do you guys think?

Avante Garde M510's, 20's staggered: $1500


Niche Targas, 20's staggered: $1100

[DoN_BLaZe34]

If I had to choose I'd go with the Niche... I prefer that it's slightly more aggressive and the fact that it's cheaper is an added bonus! Just my 2 cents.

[06M4.5]

+2 on the Niche

[CPJ LB]

the Niche!! the money you save compared to the AG could be better spent on a good set of tires or the start for future big brake kit

I'm glad you guys leaned towards the cheaper set lol.

I'm thinking my next upgrade after the wheels will be an exhaust system (megan or stillen as of now). Was thinking about getting the g37 big brakes and getting the calipers powder coated red or black. Just taking it step by step for now so will see. I can say it will be nice if i can place my rim order today or this weekend!

[lburton]

Went to Butler tire today thinking they had the Niche's in stock but didn't. But ended up seeing the TSW mirabeau so figured I'd check them out and snap some pictures! Must say they look better in person than online! Rims are so hard to decide on....I hope I'm not the only one like this

[06M4.5]

I like that even more

[lburton]

Well I finally pulled the trigger and ordered the Niche Targas!! I couldn't pass over the deal I got! I must say after seeing the TSW's in person, it made my decision a tough one! But with the money saved, next will be tires and HOPEFULLY a miracle will happen and the Megans will be back in stock! I only ordered rims only so once they come in, i'll start shopping for tires.... leaning towards nittos or toyo's. Cant wait to put my new shoes on! Pictures will be posted soon! Thanks guys for yalls help and suggestions!

[lburton]

...and delivered! ....niche Targa's in the QX! I'll be ordering tires hopefully this weekend to be installed by next weekend. I'll be looking at either wrapping them in the nitto motivo's or toyo proxe 4 pluses! Any of you have any feedback on them? From all that I gathered so far, they both are great all season tires


Of course, more pictures to come!

[jhuerto23]

PMed ya.

[lburton]

Well FINALLY my tire order came in yesterday! I ended up with the Nitto Motivos on Niche Targas as some of you already know. Here are a couple of teasers! I'll get my Canon out and car cleaned for what "hopes" to be better pictures this weekend! Let me know what you all think!

Whatever wheel you decide to purchase be sure to purchase 20 wheel locks to mitigate the chances of your wheels getting stolen.
