thinking of getting new alloys - 17" maybe 18" for my uk 300zx.. looking at 5 spoke design...any ideas would be appreciated (with out breakin the bank!!)

also what offset should the wheels be??

cheers

check out the Rial Lemans on ww.zcentre.co.uk 8.5 x 19" and according to luke the offset is big enough that the 8.5 doesnt look small in the zed arches. I'm thinking of getting a set of the same, you may find a slightly better deal elsewhere on the internet but Luke is a very helpful chap so I wouldnt go elsewhere.

 

Anybody else got any pics of these wheels on thier car?

I have 5 spoke 17' Split Rims, they were on the car when I got it. The offset is important, as has been said, because they they look alot better when this is right. But also consider the diameter, tyres for 17' are cheaper and theres more around, also the ride will be better on 17' than 19', and you will have more "tyre" to protect the rim if you go down a pothole etc. But they wont look as good. If you post your email I can send a pic. If you put a wide wheel on with a fairly narrow tyre this will leave the rim unprotected from kerbs etc. I always buy with rim protectors.

ive just bought a set of 19's cost £1700 all in with decent tyres fitted and delivered

 

You can get a decent set of 18's for £1000 or less now, speak to chris@getgreddy he bought some very nice 5 spoke 18's recently and they look very very nice

cheers guys for the help!

When I was looking for some alloys my local place said the only choice in the UK was Ace 130's or Hi-Octane 147's.

 

I bought these Mille Miglia's from a guy on here and love them.

 

It just goes to show that there's often more choice than at first appears possible.

 

Good luck with your search

Cant beat 19s.

I got my Azev As (in 17s - 9.5x17 on rear with 255/40 and 8x17 on front with 235/45) fitted with Goodyear GSD3 - the best tyre ever :bow: from http://www.dtmotorsport.co.uk

 

They are the importers of Azev from Germany and charge you the same prices as they sell to other retailers. Cost £1000 delivered.

 

See "my rides" section - they are IMO the best looking 5 spoke for a ZX :tongue:
