It looks like Fran has grown tired of seeing me mope around following the debacle that was my wheel refurb, so she's suggested getting a new set and sticking them on her credit card. Bless her!

 

So I'm looking for suggestions please. There are a couple of criteria that ideally need to be filled:

 

5 spokes please. If I'm buying some then I'd like 5 spokes... but I'm not really after a set of Rotas as they seem to be such a popular wheel these days.

 

19" ideally. This is so I can keep costs down a little and reuse the tyres that I have on my Team Dynamics currently.

 

Not overly expensive! I know that wheels can be costly but, even using a credit card, there's not a mammoth budget available...

 

So... go!!

Yay!!!!! Glad you're getting rid of those old Team Dynamics Diablos! Whilst I'm saddened by your plight with the wheel-refurb guy, this is a good move IMO.

 

Let me have a hunt and I'll report back. What's your budget?

The whole point of the refurb was to keep the costs down as opposed to outright replacing the wheels with new ones.

 

That worked out well.....

 

They're not 5 spoke, but I really want a set of JR18 on mine. I think they really look good.

Not feeling those myself, Lexx... the JR11s are nice, although a similar look to what I already have....

I'm guessing you're not going to be after a nice forged wheel, so we'll look to the lower-mid end of the pack.

 

TSW have started producing some nice wheels lately. Whilst they are budget wheels, these look nice.

And the fact that they're about £1000 a wheel - Si is not looking to spend that! lol

I quite like those, actually - Fran really likes them! I just think they might look a bit tacky when actually fitted though...

 

I have to be honest here; I really like these ones:

Just a plain set of gunmetal 5-spokes with a bit of a concave design to them. I think the available offsets might be a bit crap though...

them wheels on that white audi have a feel of the stock wheels i what them long time infact i need them

What is your budget mate?

 

I really like some of the Japan racing wheels, the jr3's are one of the sets I was concidering.

 

I think your decision on the 5 spokes is right as that is what the car came on. Be careful of 19's on a shortie, they can look a little too big with the wrong design but can also look perfect with the right wheel.

Ever considered the 19" Rays that come with a 370z?

There's a set for sale on 350z-UK including good tyres for £1k

Zed #2: 1998 Midnight Purple 2+2 NA. (owned 2020 - now) 

Zed #1: 1995 Blue Slicktop NA (2013-2015)

In all honesty, the only ones I'd consider would be the (I think) Anniversary ones. Not a huge fan of the 6-spoke Rays off the 350 either, mate.

Or how about these as a budget alternative - they are 18s though....

I have something to say............ It's better to burn out than to fade away..... :tt2:

Now you come to mention it Dan, I'm thinking you might be right mate!!!

If I'm completely honest, I'd love for Gray to sell me his Azev As... but that's a little unlikely.... :(
