Well.....as much as I dislike 'white wheels', with your car being white, white centres 'can' look good. I was always dead against white until I saw the JWT Z32.....this thing has white centres on its Work Equips and IMO, looks perfect. I'd always shoot for silver though, as it's clean, sharp and modern, but white works well too on some wheels on white cars. Steer clear of black or any garish colours.

:lol: on BOTH counts! Yeah, I need a nip and tuck!

Those alloys are VERY nice. I was with him when he had just got them and started refurbing them. They'll absolutely transform the stance of your car. Get them on pronto! :D

Sad huh! I just don't understand how you can smash a wheel up in a supermarket carpark!? :confused:

WTF!? How can you smash into a barrier at Tesco!? :lol:

^^^ Dude, you need some spacers BADLY! :)

Sounds like my idea of hell! :lol:

Must have had one of those moulded to a GRP boot lid then.

One of these!? Not sure you'll have too many takers if it is....

Already hitting 2,000 posts after 6 months! I doubt I'll ever reach my previous 'banned' user status of some 35,000 posts....I think it was!? Oh well, happy 2000th to me! :)

Does IanL managed to get in EVERY single car meet photo!? LOL I dread the day when I lose interest in sports cars and start to look at 'green laning' activities! ;) lol You'll miss the Z!

Nice work Terry! Car is looking awesome!! Nice to see.

I think that'll make it look too much like this.... Widths is where it's at. Converting the stock 16" wheels will effectively move them up to 18" which is pretty good and perfect especially for shorties. You could then turn the rears to a nice fat 10" with a nice deep dish. I'd probably try and get near the known widths and sizes though, so 8.5" front with a 20-25 offset and a 9.5" rear with a 30-35 offset. If the stock wheels were those offsets, it would solve half the problem, but if they were also 18", then they'd look sterling! OEM+ is a good look IMO. As for the cost, it won't be cheap. But with these guys being in Poland, it won't be as expensive as having them done here or in Germany (found another place there). They're based in Poznan, I might fly over one weekend to have a chat with the guys there.

Company in Poland can do this!! Maybe our friend rolandas has heard of them? https://www.facebook.com/pages/Indywidual-wheel-Dzidziusbmw-Zbif/435223189880338

...another interesting thread. http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?5614230-Custom-Scirocco-wheels-(OEM-Plus-Plus)-build-thread

I've made contact with Image wheels and sent them some information. I also came across this. Some dude with a MK1 Scirocco had those done to his wheels. The conversion turns 13" wheels to 15" Gives you an idea of the things people have done. Some of these are bit more extreme (silly stances etc) - but you get the idea. http://www.stanceiseverything.com/2013/10/theme-tuesdays-split-wheel-conversions/ I would absolutely LOVE to see this conversion done to a Z32.

I think the only other consideration would be that stock wheels have limited space between the back face and the caliper - a lot of people run larger calipers which could make contact, saying that a lot of contact/space issues are due to the rim wall being so small, not sure how much 'wider' calipers get when you start going above the 350z upgrade route.

Might make a few enquiries. I suspect cost to be prohibitive, but it would be interesting to see what could be done. What I really need is a stock wheel I can hack up.

...in fact!

....plus that idea was resurrected when a friend of mine in the US managed to get his grubby mits on these. These wheels are the only ones in the world; Nissan commissioned Gemballa to make a wheel that was originally to be intended as a dealer-fit option on the special edition 96 cars which were only sold in the US under a limited run. In the event, it never happened, but those who know their wheels know Gemballa who build wheels for Porsche. These were designed as a spin (excuse the pun) on the OEM wheel. I've driven this car both as an NA and a TT and the specs are perfect. The car sits nicely, the ride is good and of course, no rubbing. Old pic... Pretty much as it currently sits...

Yeah you skanky b*****d! :p

....the idea was spawned from this YEARS ago. Whilst the design themselves is slightly different from the factory Lotus Carlton/Omega wheels, the concept idea had a splitrim version on it.

Considering it....did a shitty mock-up on MS paint. Gives you an idea. I'd go with NA wheels as a donor as you can get a deeper dish. Not sure if you could use a machined wheel face or whether they'd take moulds of the wheel face. These would sell like hot cakes in the US. It would effectively turn the wheel from a 16" wheel to an 18" wheel with a much more aggressive offset.

If he's running LEDs, he'll need to wire in load resistors rather than replace a functioning relay. You can get error-free canbus LED bulbs which have the load resistors pre-wired into them.
