On my ever increasing list of things to do I've started properly thinking about wheels... ideally I'd like some multi-spoked ones BMW alpina style, but notice that there's nothing on the ZCentre site which looks right.. hoping for 12+ spokes, at least 7. Does anybody know a good one that also meets the diameter requirements?!

How about Kosei Snipers?

 

That's what I've got on mine ...

 

I'll send you a pic later, they're all on my PC at home, and I can't get into rides at the mo ... I'm sure you can find 'em on the net somewhere though.

 

I know I'm biased, but I think they look the nuts ...:D :D

 

CheerZ,

John.

BBS are the ones to look at.

But be wary of price they are expensive.

BKS also do multispoke alloys.

both are nice looking.

I love these three piece Axis Se7en's and might have to change mine even though I only just put the Azev's on about 500 miles ago! LOL

9 Spoke Anteras, here is a picture of mine.

 

 

 

Anteras 321M

Both lovely... saw the anteras on zcentre's site... hoping for slightly thicker spokers and a more flat centre hub... how picky am I?!

:)

Mine are AZEV E's (ten spoke):D ;)

Took me about 2 years to decide which ones I wanted!

probably going to take me ages!!! Ah well... I'll clean the standard ones up for the time being, they're nice enough and keep looking around...

 

Luke suggested different wheels for each corner... I think I'll skip that one!

Nix,

 

Have found 1 picture skulking around, so here you go ...

 

Don't think this really shows the wheels off to their best; they do look better in the flesh; they're 18's, btw ...

 

CheerZ,

John.

perfect!!!! now gimme a supplier?!?!?!

Mine came with 17" wheels fitted. They are six spoke, but in a 3 spoke configuration, made by a firm called ERGLANZ (??!?!) They have a HUGE nut in the middle of them to cover up the 5 wheel studs, and I think they look great on the Z. I will try to get around to updating my 'rides' section tonight.

 

Cheers

Neil

I'll look out the invoice this evening - they came with the car, so I've no idea! Just had a quick scout round the net, but couldn't come up with anything decent.

 

CheerZ,

Yep! I had a rumage around the internet just before I messaged you and didn't turn up anything useful!

What about http://www.karmania.co.uk/products.asp?cat=alloys ?

 

They list the Kosei Sniper - of course you'd need to call to order it in correct fitments etc etc..

thanks very much for that link mate!!! superb prices... actually spotted some TSW's on there that I prefer to the snipers, so mailing them diameter requirements to get a quote on a set of 18" ones!

nix decide to do a bit of looking roung the net for you rim stock do quite a selection of alloys that look some what like this visage or speed 10 bolt and some other tastefull rims check them out here http://www.rimstock.co.uk/rimstockframeset.htm

Just when I thought I'd made my mind up!!

Cheers splashout... nevermind the visage's the Eiger's are perfect!!!! very very very nice...

bbs RSII's 18 X 10.5 and 8.5 X 18. Split rim looks a bit like a wire wheel with a centre nut and polished stainless steel rim edge.

With red it gives the zed an Italian look.

this site has a good selection for z, http://www.whifbitz.co.uk/300zxbrakes.htm
