i will make no mention of people who know the cars should know the wheels...

 

 

We had a small chuckle about this when he collected the car last week.

Muwhahahahahaha i wonder now did an experienced company such as Shitty engineering tamper with your wheels at any given time

Sorry for being thick...

But just been starring at Timmy's back wheel to the point of looking away and still seeing an image of Timmy's back wheel.

 

I STILL can't see how you can tell if its on the right way or not.

 

Can anyone enlighten me?

 

Cheerzzzz...z.z.z.

ROFL

 

I had this with Andy while I was staring at my car at Superior Engineering last week...LOL

 

I can see it now, but it needs explaining by a wheel spotter pro, obviously Andy or Craig are the wheel gurus! LMFAO

 

It's worth getting aftermarket wheels just to stop people pointing it out

Soon as my boots need changing I will make sure mine are on the right way round as I can see the logic behind it and it will save being told by AndyP......and the wheelies! (anyone remember them?)

 

My first meet in my Z, park up meet Timmy T and his Bro, say 'Hello' to AndyP and what do I get....

 

"...Your wheels are on back to front..." (wibble)

 

Not a Hello, how are you or your Matty arn't you....nothing but a wheel jibe....

 

LMAO

 

 

Matty.

 

------------------

 

Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce...Bounce... (sorry no sound!) LOL

Aye, it's a cruel world

rears on ours are back to front too. I dont know why ppl do it!! I couldnt tell, i stared and stared the only way i know is cos the L and R are on the wrong side

Okey guys,

 

But was my question too hard to answer ?

 

So in between all the banter and chat will anyone be actually kind enough to tell me how you can tell the difference?

 

or do I need to make a seperate post ?

or is the information classified? ie on a need to know basis?

 

Thanking you kindly, in advance.

 

George, i have been trying to find a decent picture to explain it with

 

there is a flat edge, and a scoop edge on each spoke.

 

the scoop edge should scoop in the direction of travel...

 

if you look at timmy's pic, and also the side on pic in aaron's rides as well, they both have back wheels on wrong way (sorry aaron

 

but i cant find a decent full on shot of any wheel to show clearer

Hehe no probs Craig.. They're the other way round now anyway

 

I'd describe it as.. Imagine that each hole is a triangle, it has two large angles and one small angle.. sort of a

Shape.. The pointy bit (to the left) should be at the 'trailing' edge as the wheel rotates..

 

Make any sense at all!?

Ahh crap.. I dunno what I'm on tonight! I meant to edit my post not reply to it..

 

I'll get me coat

Thanks guys.

 

Does this mean that I will become a 300zx wheel spotter from know on.....

i'm not really a wheel spotter and you wont become one either, it's just that, now you know, you will always notice it

my wheels are on upside down...

 

... no sorry my head is on upside down

Craig, weren't you the one who noticed that the Z on GT3 has its wheels on the wrong way around? I'm sure this makes you the champion Z wheel spotter
