Went shopping for new 18's with SRRAE today- thanks for the patience mate :rolleyes:

I am amazed how difficult it is to get wheels to fit a zed, the biggest problem is that of brake caliper clearance.

Anyway, I've got my eye on a set of these :-

What do you think???

 

The only problem is that the widest size they have is 8"- any ideas on the widest tyre that I can get to fit on these?

Cheerz,

Dave

I like the wheels Dave,but 8 is smaller than you got now.Go 9 at least or 10" on the rear if you can;)

Yeah I don't want to pay out for narrower than stock. I was hoping to go 18x8 front and 18x9 or 18x10 rear, with 235/40/18 front tyres and 265/35/18 on the rear.

 

I'm having real problems finding wheels to fit a Z in the sizes above. I've tried the Z Centre, but not seen anything I've really liked. Can anyone suggest some other shops/sites to try?

Here;) http://www.blitz-uk.co.uk/2003/wheels.html

There's Motion Styling in Bradford where Macca, Timmy Turbo and I got our Azevs from:

They are very helpful and wheels are just about all they sell.

 

Tell them I recommended them so I get a free set of Blitz 19's ;)

 

They should remember me as last time I was there I left sideways on the rev limiter as they wanted to see what it would do :D LOL

Cheerz Mac,

these would be ideal:-

 

 

I'm just off to hold-up the nearest Post Office to afford them

:eek:

255's fit OK on an 8" rim, not sure about 265.

Id go for a set of rays.

they do nismo ones in proper z32 fitment so kinda guaranteed to fit! :)

last week i bought a set of toora alloys in platinum silver, (mines grey), i went for 18x8.5 all round, 235 x 40 on front and 255 x 35 on rear, they fit like a glove, not hard on the road aswell.

I'd take that as an insult but you can't speak proper English so I'll let you off. B1tch !

i may be wrong but jag wheels dont have the same stud pattern,

ours are 4.5, jag wheels are 4 and three quarters stud pattern!

I've been outbid for those Blitz alloys on ebay :(

But thanks to BigRoy, I could have made an expensive mistake:- he told me that the hub centre on a Z is bigger than on the Soop and I'd need big spacers, plus new nuts to go with them. This may have upset the handing.

So in they end they may have been a lot of trouble to fit, thanks for the info bud ;)

So now I'm back at square one :rolleyes:

Paul I think you need to trace your family tree cos i am sure there is some SCOTTISH SCOUSE in your blood..........U make Dave look like a SPEND THRIFT....:D

LOL Paul.

I can't believe how piss-poor the choice of rims for a Z is in this country.

Looks like I may have to import from either Japan or the US :rolleyes:

Dave

Anyone interested in a set of Volks racing alloys.

They bloody well should be, aside from speedline, they are the best alloys going! name for name of course...both manufacturers have arse designs in their range! :D

Me if they are the right size,8,1/2" fronts and 10" rears Any pictures?

Dave,

 

I see Azev have a new wheel out, and it may be close to the styling you are looking for?

 

 

Motionstyling were recommended in the above posts, but I can also recommend the Azev UK distributor - DTMotorsport (John Cannon on 01708630528) who gave me a very good price on the A's, but delivery viz pick-up may close the gap.

 

Did I get the styling right?

Geoff

Here are better pics of the Azev PS wheels (chrome & alloy):
