let me know what yo think!

 

my idea to obtain cheap alloy wheels, is to search autotrader to find a 300zx for sale that has a nice set of rims, ring the seller to see if he/she would be willing to part with them for a smallish sum of cash along with your own wheels.

 

Do you think it would work?

Has anybody bought wheels this way?

am I just too tight fisted to spend 1000+ pounds on rims and tyres?

You can try but I doubt it.

 

Because what happens when some one comes to buy it and the description says 18 inch alloys and it has standard.

Might be worth asking at some local Jap import garages though !

 

Some bring in extra sets of wheels (second hand usually but still in good nic!) and swap them about on the cars to jaz them up a bit. You even get sets that aren't sold in the uk. 18's might be a bit hopeful though !

 

They won't be as cheap as wheels in the admag etc, but you'll still probably save half the price or more !

 

;)

If you do try this (which I did) and do find a set of 18's, don't forget to check if it also has bigger brakes as your standard wheels won't fit over them when you swap! I managed to find a dead Z with a choice lot of goodies on that I was only too pleased to buy from the owner.

Good luck.
