Finally my tyre woes are over, You see when i brought my car in 2006 the goodyear tyres that came with the car had gone all hard from the trip over from Japan. The hard rubber made the tyres make this rolling sound which when all 4 wheels where on was very loud and annoying to listento.

 

About 1 month after owning the car i got what i thought were 6 zx rims with good tyres on them to only find 6 skyline rims with 3 x 2 different pairs of tyres on all 6 rims Anyways atm they were better then the tyres that came with the car so i made do with the tyres i had.

 

A few months back i finally transfered my 2 rear tyres from the skyline rims to my zx rims but couldnt do the fronts as the tyre specs where different. (ones on the car where 205 and the ones on my zx rims where 225) Anyways after a few weeks one of the tyres blow on my while driving and couldnt be repaired so had to use one fo the shit tyres from before.

 

And now 2day i have my new polished zx rims i got from Mike480 I love them and even though they are 2 different sets of tyres they all match spec wise.

 

Fronts Kumhos ECSTA AST 225/50R16s

 

Rears are Falkens Ziex ZE-326 225/50R16s

 

 

Here are the old rims

Yeh i love the polished look, i think it has transformed my car heaps since putting them on. I have also discovered the 2000spec Version R zed had chromed stockies as an option rim choice (I think)

lol, didn't realise you were in Australia :slap:

 

so there still isn't anyone in the UK with them, lol

Very nice mate.

 

How easy is it to polish rims ?,

 

I have a set of alloys (not standard Z) and I was thinking about polishing them rather than painting them.

Hi,

I know a lot of people don't like the stock wheels, but I think they look fine when polished up like yours.

I was thinking of getting mine done and now I've seen them on a silver Z( like mine), I still like the look.

Cheerz,

Jez.

Started polishing my stock rims last year, was ok until i came to the third wheel which seems to have a lot of impurities which makes a good finnish difficult.

wow I do like them! Well done , never thought stock alloys could look so good.

Wow everyone likes the new polished rims:), Im going to give them a good clean today but i need to polish them up myself a bit to get them looking even better. I didnt polish them myself i brought them already polished from a forums member on the aus300zx.com forums. As soon as i saw the pix i put my hand up for them and i havent stopped smiling every time i look at my car zed with her new shiny rims. Unforumately the center caps aren't polished and was thinking of getting chromed ones from the US but im not 100% if the center caps are different in the 2000spec photos.
