search ebay under wheels tyres and trims for: 5x114.3, 300zx, supra, soarer, rx7, gto, 3000gt,

 

I've got some 18" 5 spoke deep dish work equips?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

not for sale though :tt2:

the type of rim in you sig pic is what am after :)

 

thought so :shifty:

 

also have a look on the driftworks forum, theres a for sale section just for wheels now, you have to get in quick though if theres some you like as the drift boys soon snap them up.

sorry for butting in but would the 5x114.3 take 265 tires?

 

yeah 5x114.3 is just the stud pattern lol... mine's got 265/35 R18 on the rear :wheelchair:

Those are 17's

I think there are a couple of Zeds running those on these forums, pics here for you to see what they look like on a Z: http://300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=149054

A bit pricey for SH 17's though ??

 

I know how you feel, I am chasing some S/H 18's with reasonable tyres and seems I have been fighting a losing battle !

Edited by Bartflaster

Just keep an eye on ebay, be patient, my 18's came across at 350 quid with reasonable tyres on them. There not to everyone's taste though i suppose.

Youll find many of the new e bay rims are pants,they peel at the slightest mention of moisture,id avoid at all costs.Ive read several posts from people complaining of e bay wheels blistering within months of getting them.

what wheels are yours jimmer i really like the look of your zed (im guessing its your zed in your sig)

I think I will avoid eblag tbh . when I have seen them on a car they have looked crap compared to the images on ebay. I have offered 500 for the ones on the first link I posted up (modena ones) are they worth 500 though ?

TBH ebay wheels is a bit of a sweeping statement, certain brands may be prone to the blistering, the thing is finding which ones are bad ?

I think the ones linked have been quite popular, so hopefully there are some user experiences to see what they are like ?

 

As for OP question on those wheels, AFAIK you would need a different spigot ring as Supra's are not the same as Zeds (I think they are quite inexpensive).

But otherwise I think they should fit nicely.

Tyre sizes are a little bigger diameter than stocks, but just about in the limits, personally I would be inclined to go for 255/35/18 and 225/40/18 because its closer to original diameter.

They are ok mate, but £500 is a bit heavy for those in 17". With regards to ebay specials I personally would never have them, don't really like the look of them and heard too many stories about laquer peeling and blistering within months of them being new, even with no kerb damage to start it off. Did you look on driftworks? with a budget of around £500 you should find some decent make jap split rim wheels, modenas are ok, but you may also find some other decent brands, work, volk racing, blitz etc.

I did look on d works , but I can't seem to find anythink :( looked everywer else I can think of aswell ! dont know if I an am being to fussy but most of what I have seen look like boring old 5 spokes or too much . please help lol

No BMW fitment is different, you can get hubcentric adaptors though, I believe one of the mods here has them (Vodkashots maybe) ?
