I currently have a set of 19" TSW Multi spoke wheels on my 1991 TT LWB and I am considering changing them for a more dished style....I am also thinking of perhaps a more retro style ....and drawn to something like those fitted to Gaz 300's fantastic Red shortie.....

 

I am thinking of dropping back to 18" both for the ride improvement and the current occasional fouling I get with the 19's ...(although that is probably more to do with the size of hub centric spacers I have!)

 

Anyhow...Ali has photo shopped them onto my car in both 19" and 18" format below...

 

CURRENT

 

 

RS MESH 19"

 

 

RS MESH 18"

 

 

Comments please ....(be gentle FunkySi) :whistling:

 

Proposed new fitment to be.... Front 18 x 8.5 (ET 25) Rear 18 x 9.5 (ET 25)

 

Other style suggestions and advice welcome

 

Thanks

 

Gary

Look great to me :) 18" suits the 300zx well on a SWB but you can get away with 19" on a LWB.

Think they look really well:thumbup1:

Get these. They're a gorgeous high quality split rim wheel.

Hmmm, tough decision. In that particular style, I would be drawn to the 19 inch version. What are the current widths, offsets and tyre sizes of your TSWs (including spacers)?

When I went from 18" wheels to 19" wheels I noticed absolutely no noticeable difference in ride quality.

Current wheels are 19"....all 4 are only 8 Js with ET of 40...they are fitted with 20mm spacers front and 25mm rear.... Tyres are 235/35/19

front and 245/35/19 rear

 

.....have had rear arches rolled so no more fouling...but fronts catch when turning into my road which has a speed bump at the entrance......

Andrew, step away from the computer!

All suggestions welcome ! :thumbup:

I am a big fan of more spoke area and a thinner rim profile personally.

Similar to AndrewG's photoshop above.

Nothing wrong with 18s on a LWB.....:wink:

 

To be honest mate, I loved your Zed when I saw it at Coventry - however those TSWs didn't quite finish it off as good as a nice deep dish rim would have done!

 

So I certainly endorse your intended change; Gary's wheels do indeed suit a ZX - as do the ones for sale that Si mentioned.... And those in Andy's picture!
