  1. A bit of digging on the US forums suggests those on the red car are 20", probably 20x9 and 20x11.
  2. You've not said what size you're after or budget but I'm currently selling a great set of concave 19" Japanese wheels. Check out my advert if you haven't already: 19" 5ZIGEN ProRacer ZR+520 wheels
  3. Good news for all those people kicking themselves for missing out on these wheels - they are now back up for sale again! Don't miss out on these for a second time.
  4. Not yet, drop me a PM if you're interested or need more info.
  5. I think it depends on the specific tyre as to how stretched 245/35 and 275/35 would look but I expect they'll look fine regardless. I wouldn't have a problem running 255/35 with 285/35 either but you might be more limited on your tyre choices. If you're still on the fence then why not buy my awesomely concave 9" and 10" wide wheels then there's no problem.

  6. A good price but looking at where the paint has lifted off the one wheel I would imagine the paint isn't great on any of them so would probably need refurbing. They need centre caps too although from what I've read some Juke ones fit which gives a good range of colours and probably not too expensive.
  7. I can't really comment on that as mine were past the point when they should have been replaced when I bought the car. I only really drove the car with the DS2500 which I found to be a great pad. I've not found the the Hawk PC to be in any way inferior to the DS2500 for fast road use.
  8. I've got them with OEM discs on the front of my 350Z and have found them really good. They don't squeal, work from cold, have good pedal feel and have not let me down during spirited driving on the road either. I had Ferodo DS2500 previously which were also excellent but with more dust and would squeal when reversing.
  9. I think it looks like jables' old car: Twin turbo 350Z
  10. Yeah, we all need tyres once in a while and even reasonable brands aren't silly money in these sizes. I think the price is fair as I've never seen a cheaper set of quality Japanese 19" wheels anywhere even taking into account the cost of a refurb! I've had loads of interest though so I'm sure it can only be a matter of time.
  11. I've updated the original post with a price for Paisley Freight and also suggested a local refurb place that could provide the buyer with a drive in - drive out service.
  12. Spotted these which look cheap although one looks slightly bent: nissan 350z alloy wheels and tyres
  13. I'm not skilled in spotting Photoshopped images but you may well be right. Having said that I think lighter coloured wheels especially those with thin spokes that go right to the rim always look bigger than darker wheels.
  14. Another borrowed photo to show how good silver/chrome looks on a black car.
  15. Yes, still in my garage at the moment. PM me if you're interested.
  16. Very interesting, especially as they're using the most common tyre sizes. Great comparison as well, I thought the difference would have been more significant, I imagine if the 19" combo were cheap heavy wheels and tyres then it would have been.
  17. These look great on a lowered car, here's a good photo borrowed from another member which shows how well they sit:
  18. I'd say no. 370Z Rays use flat seat nuts not the normal taper seat nuts that aftermarket wheels and 350Z Rays use.
  19. My HR runs on a mixed diet of any super unleaded 97 or more, mainly Esso or Tesco for convenience but occasionally Sainsbury's or Shell. Never noticed any significant difference in performance or economy. Not sure if that's just because it's the HR though?
  20. wide has some great photos of these wheels on his black Zed: Nissan 350 Z 3.5 V6 2dr If you want the look and already have the car you know what to do.
  21. Mine did that the first day after I changed my front discs and pads. All good from day two onwards though.
  22. Yeah, it's not a cheap thing to do but then which new 19" wheels can you get for £800 that fit without spacers and in a colour of your choice? Tyres can be had for less than £500 if you get Kumho KU39 which isn't so bad if you need new tyres anyway or have some decent wheels/tyres to sell on to someone else.
  23. Here is the for sale thread from when I bought them with a few better photos of these actual wheels on some other cars: 5ZIGEN ZR+520 19" wheels
  24. They do seem a bargain don't they, maybe I should be considering putting the price up!? I'm open to higher offers if someone is happy to pay more. Seriously though, I paid £1,050 for them including the tyres with 5mm three years ago. They have been up close and personal with kerbs far too often since then and the tyres have seen another 13.5k in that time. Any self respecting Zed owner will be wanting to refurb them and fit new tyres pretty much straight away. I have some other photos which show the condition a bit better which I'm happy to email to anyone who's seriously interested. I've had my fun with them so I'm happy to pass them on for a good price to a forum member who'll appreciate them.
