i first noticed these in halfrauds and snorted as i walked past them thinking how rediculous and boy-racery they were. then i turned around and looked at them for a while. now in my search for a new set of alloys they have cropped up again. and i keep looking at them, and trying to picture them fitted to a blue Z with smoked side repeaters.

do i need a :slap: and a pair of glasses?

worship my photoshop skillzzzz

 

I don't have an opinion on them. Let's just say they remind me of a pair of chav's trainers for some reason. They aren't directional either, so you'd have 2 wheels rotating one way and the other two rotating the other.

personally i dont like them and have had a little look while in halfords one day

 

saying that though after the copy & paste they do look ok ive seen allot worse on a z so suppose its just personal taste so if u like em ?

 

i think the nismo's si posted on that other thread where the dog's and is sort of the style i want but have seen a set of 19s that i think are my style lol

 

decision's /decision's !

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: now you say that Si I can see what you mean. theyre quite cheaply priced and no doubt theres a reason for that.

"cough..shite..cough":o

If you're going to invest in some new wheels, I'd save a bit and get a quality set. Your current wheels look nice enough for the time being. I'd certainly not grace any car with 90% of the poor quality wheels on display at Halfords.

 

Still suprises me that they sell BBS there.

sorry Brian I didnt quite hear that? ;)

thanks Simon:bow:

oh, that :D

oh, that :D

 

:rofl::rofl:David this thread is a piss take...please say yes:rolleyes:

Have you looked at some of the wheels at ZCentre? This was more the style you were looking for? They are extremely cheap. Not really my thing. I'd rather save my money and get something nicer, but this is a start?

what about those monaco platinum's on z centre ? under £700 too !

never fancied any of those tbh, most of them are too flashy for what im looking for. i want something plain and solid - like the Volks/Nismos from the other thread. ideally i'll wait for my bodykit to go on, then change the wheels at the same time for a completely new look.

 

@znut - well my post count's not going to go up by itself ;) :rofl:

What bodykit are you going for.....

yeah the nismo's are really nice !! :bow:

 

alloys are gonna be my next major mod too need back end tidyin first though:headvswal

What bodykit are you going for.....

 

WW front, veilside sideskirts, different headlight panel, Z centre type 2 bonnet vent. gunmetal meshing.

So the catfish and chicken-wire is going? ;) Don't blend it this time. You should go for the car.mad nose panel if you're going aftermarket.

 

Hope you're keeping that colour, does look nice.

id rather save up and get a set of Rays gram lights 57f's

 

I've never been a fan of the look of the Gram lights. They do weigh next to nothing though.

im quite parcial to a nice 5 spoke, would look fantastic on a black Z

hey dont diss it, it won best photo over on 300zx-club ;) though i have to say I'd ordered a Bomex bumper from some joker on fleabay who sent me this one and then fooked off. it was blended cos it didnt fit properly. i think the blending itself looks great but unfortunately is the reason why ive got a pair of yellow wings in the spare room waiting to be sanded down. i love the colour too and shall definately be keeping it. unfortunately the bodyshop who did the work have gone AWOL so i need to find one who i can trust to match the colour (is actually an off-the-shelf colour so shouldnt be too difficult) and repeat the great work. i have two or three in mind, but i want to get my interior fitted first. bloody Zs nothing but money :mac1:

I am too, but there are more beefy and aggressive looking wheels than the gramlites. They rave about them on the US forum, but I've never seen the appeal.

 

There was a guy over there who did a before/after shot of his. He had ADRs on there previously which look a gazillion times better than his gram lights. The 57fs are just a really unflattering wheel IMHO.

 

 

 

 

57fs

 

I just think they do nothing for the car. I'd rather have stock UK TT wheels.

 

 

...these are probably one of my 2 styles of my favourite 5 spokes.

 

 

what wheels are on the jim wolf Z si?

 

I think they would look better if he went for a bigger wheel to fill out the arch
