  1. Varrstoen ES 5.5.2 19×10.5" +22 with 235/35 tyres. Great looking wheels although I'd definitely avoid running them in the winter! Looks like Tarmac Sportz can get hold of them - Varrstoen ES5 Wheels.
  2. Spotted this set of 16 flat seat nuts for anyone looking for spares or to fit 370Z Rays to their 350Z: GENUINE NISSAN 370Z Wheel Bolts Nuts These are £60+ new from Nissan so £9.45 is incredibly cheap.

    370z Rays

    I've had my HR for over 5 years and it still makes to smile every time I drive it, even bigger grins since changing the exhaust last year. Someone local was selling their 370Z Rays in January so thought I'd try them out and whilst it's not a cheap exercise I've not been disappointed as they look great. I paid £500 for them including centre caps but no nuts or tyres. There's a few bits of kerb rash but I don't feel the need to refurb just yet as it's not that noticeable with silver wheels. I expect you've read around the other threads but in case you haven't, to get them to fit you'll need to consider: 20mm hubcentric spacers for the front. Flat seat nuts, not the taper seat ones that the 350Z Rays use - Nissan part number is 40224-JK00A for each standard and KE409-89991 for the locking four. The ideal rear tyres are the same size as the 370Z uses, the fronts you ideally want 245/35 but it seems some people use 370Z spec 245/40 without problems. I think 370Z centre caps are Nissan part number 40343-5Y700 for silver and 40342-JF00A for grey. Juke centre caps fit apparently and come in a range of colours so if you paint the wheels a different colour you might be able to find caps that match. Hope that helps.

    370z Rays

    No they're not mine, I bought some silver ones back in January. I think that seller is quite optimistic on price, depends on the quality of tyres and general condition. From the one photo it looks like a budget tyre and possibly a bit of kerb rash. If it was me I'd want to see plenty more photos before potentially negotiating on price. Including the nuts will save you about £130 assuming you don't have the correct nuts already.

    370z Rays

    I assume you've seen these on eBay? Nissan 370z alloy wheels
  6. These have now been sold, paid for and collected. Unfortunately not to a forum member but will be back on a 350Z soon.
  7. There used to be a guy running 22" on here. New wheels! 22" - They are BIG! Pics & Drive by I seem to remember there wasn't too many positive comments on that either.
  8. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that some of you are being a little harsh on the new guy (or girl). I and I'm sure others here chose their Zed because it's relatively rare, looks good, sounds good and is fun to drive. However you only have to look at what other people drive to see that different people like different things. There are some car brands that sell huge numbers of cars which all look much the same, are probably FWD, diesel, automatic and have big wheels. People buy them because of how they make them feel. Who are we to judge if a member of our community likes wheels, spoilers, bumpers, body kits or whatever that represent the image they're going for even if it is to the detriment of performance, handling, usability or our idea of style? By all means point out the negatives of big, heavy wheels and give an opinion on looks but maybe consider that taking it any further especially for someone new might be a bit mean. I'll get off my soapbox now.
  9. With all the people on here who like to be different by buying a Zed and then personalising with unique and tasteful mods I'm surprised people haven't jumped at these. I've had loads of interest but no one has been man (or woman!) enough to take these on. Surely one of you has the vision to buy these, paint them a cool colour and live forever more with people in awe of you for your audacious and inspired choice. Having run them for three years I can tell you that these concave icons really turn heads even in there original grey. Be bold, seize the day and PM me your best offer. You know you've been thinking about them and can't live without them.
  10. I've seen 350Zs running 20" GT-R wheels before so I imagine they'd fit just fine with the right tyres, definitely worth checking what the offsets are first though.
  11. Surely someone on here should be buying these? You'd need to check offsets but these would look incredible on a 370Z. nissan skyline gtr r35 rays forged alloy wheels
  12. I'm open to sensible offers on these wheels as I know they need a bit of work before most people would consider putting them on their car. Just bear in mind that they do come with new centre caps which cost me £90 and the new price was around £1,600 so are excellent quality wheels considering the money I'm asking for them.
  13. The flat seat nuts are specifically for those wheels (and a few others), not the car. The 370Z Rays use flat seat nuts regardless of if they are on a 350Z or 370Z. If you have aftermarket wheels on a 370Z then you would probably use the taper seat nuts like Tarmac Sportz sell. My local Nissan dealer sells the flat seat nuts (40224-JK00A as burgs said) for £3.85 each. The locking flat seat nuts (KE409-89991) are £81.40 for a set of four including the key. Not cheap but necessary unless you can get a used set from somewhere.
  14. I've not tried them on a 370Z but they should according to this thread: 5Zigen ProRacer ZR+520 Wheels for 370z Mine are lower offset than those mentioned so will fill the arches better as well, although they will probably poke a bit on the front unless you're lowered. You may want some 15mm spacers on the rear to really fill the arches although not necessary for clearance.The wheels are the same widths as the 370Z GT wheels so will take the OEM tyre sizes. Here's a photo to give you an idea but it looks like a Photoshop job. I think they'd look amazing on a lowered 370Z and very individual.
  15. Are they 19" or 20"? They look 20" but then DannyP had the same in post #50 and they were only 19", maybe all those spokes just make them look bigger.
  16. Can I resurrect a three year old thread, let's see. Hopefully everyone will understand as these Volk Racing ZE40 look so good. I'm sure some of our forum traders can supply but I bet they're mega money.
  17. I still think these look great in bronze, of course mine are bigger and wider with a deeper rear but you get the idea. You can't beat genuine Japanese wheels on a Japanese car.
  18. I've got a great set of concave, staggered, low offset 19" wheels for sale if you're interested, check out my thread here: 19" 5ZIGEN ProRacer ZR+520 wheels They need refurbing so you can have them any colour you like.
  19. 15 or 20mm spacers front and rear will be fine even if you go for the wider tyre options.
  20. I didn't think LM GT4 came in 10.5"? Anyway, either tyre combo will work just fine but the OP expressed a desire for wider tyres.
  21. Not on those sized wheels they're not. Aren't those the exact same sizes as the LM GT4 wheels that people run with 245/35 and 275/35?
  22. If you're wanting deep dish then sizes like those Tarmac suggested will look better. Either way, 245/35R19 and 275/35R19 would be more common tyre sizes.
  23. Sure, I'd be happy to take four monthly payments of £135 if you're happy to take one wheel per month. I might even take you up on that haha! once the engines back in, if noone has bought these you'll be having a PM! I would have thought there was an easier way to finance £540 but I'm open to suggestions! I'm finding that selling wheels isn't nearly as exciting as buying them.
  24. Sure, I'd be happy to take four monthly payments of £135 if you're happy to take one wheel per month.
  25. New month, new price. For March I'm going to drop the price of these lovely wheels to just £540. Yes that's a 10% drop - absolute bargain for these amazing concave Japanese wheels.
