  1. Yes they would fit, however with them being quite long in length, they would stick out of your wheels miles. Look at image 3 of the listing.

    If thats the look you want, then those nuts are fine. If not something like this is better.

    It says Xtrail on that specific listing but its the correct nut. 12 x 1.25 tapered.

  2. you dont want tuner nuts on those wheels. They will look tiny and stupid. You will most probably just need a standard 17/19mm Hex Tapered nut, (most common nuts going). Just check the bolt seating is flat and not curved, (tapered or radius seating) I am 99% sure they will be tapered.

     

    I have a set of brand new 19mm closed black ones if you wanted black. Exactly the same as these.

  3. I've done white calipers before. Considering I am a neat freak/part time detailer its not an issue having white. I don't see the difference from standard gold to white anyway, they both show the dirt on them.

     

    Anyway, I like white...

  4. it may be a completely pointless car in the respect it is a 'replica' but you have to give the original kit builder credit. That looks like a hell of a lot of work to get all those panels right, and fit to a 350z.

  5. of course I will, I just wondered if anyone knew of any cheaper suppliers of discs that fit the AP Bells.

     

    I have just found a place that can do a pair for £265 a pair, but no harm in asking if anyone has heard of some elsewhere.

  6. Anyone know of anywhere or have any contacts to where I can get some 355mm x 32mm AP Racing Discs?

     

    Ideally a drilled design but a 6- 10 slot would be okay also. :thumbs:

  7. You obviously didn't have your puma super duper driving shoes on in you high performance race car. Still makes me chuckle to hear people wear them in a 350z. We all agree it's hardly a fast car.

     

    I was massively disappointed with the speed of them. I get people try race me all the time, not that it is my thing at all but I just know that most of them would beat me so I just pootle along and let them past. :byebye:

  8. They don't look like Kinetix HFC's.

     

    The 'cat' part on the kinetix is on the downward part of the tube (nearer the manifold) where as these are on the vertical section (nearer the y pipe)

     

    I'd safely say these are resonated Decats.

  9. The centre bore is indeed an issue. The 350z has a a PCD of 5x114.3 and a centre bore of 67.1mm so any car with that centre bore or smaller, these wheels will fit. A range rover has a centre bore of 72.6 (forget that the PCD is wrong in this example) that means the 72.6 bore will not slot inside the 67.1 bore of the wheel. This means the wheels will not pull to the hub rendering it useless.

     

    However. There are other cars you can retro fit these wheels too. These wheels are 5x114.3, pretty much all new age VAG cars are 5x112 with a centre bore of 57.1, so with some67.1 - 57.1 spigot rings and a set of variation bolts.

    Then they can fit anything like a Mark 5 onwards Golf, Scirocco, A3, Passat, Transporter.

     

    You then have the Mitsubishi Evo 4 upwards that is a direct bolt on, even the centrebore is good. 3000gt, Starion, Galant etc.

     

    Oh and most Lexus's are 5x114.3.

     

     

    With all that said, the only other issue (down to buyer) is to check the offsets are reasonable for their vehicle. That means making sure they don't stick too far out the arch, or to in the arch which means spacers will be required.

  10. I have been seeing them doing testing here at work for a while now. I really like them, but as mentioned above, they do seem on paper to be quite slow for what you expect it to be.
