What widths?

9's front & 10's rear.

Welcome along.

What sizes are they?

They are 18's

lookin good m8 now get em on the car.

Just got one more wheel to do, then sort the right spacers and will get them on.

Think id leave any more gold might look too much.

Yeah, well, thats where I'm struggling, do I add more gold or go black with the centres, thers another 10 bolts there on each wheeel.

You will have to post up a pic when there fitted.

Yeah, I will do that, need to sort some bolts for the centres as well probably in gold again.

Nice have you got center caps for them?

Yeah, little Zed caps.

They look nice, are they split rims?

3 piece Veilside.

While on a visit to the Zedshed, Keyser with little resistence sold me some wheels he had, which were in need of some love.

Went for a polished rim, gold bolts and black centres for my Blade.

What do you think?

bbq sounds like a great idea.....trouble is the weather is going to turn soon maybe we should stick this on the back burner for now and opt for a pub meet.

 

try and sort something for early november

I'll be up for a pub meet, my last event is the first weekend in November, after that "Im Free"

Great little vid mate

I need 275/40-18 x 2 rears and 245/40-18 x 2 fronts

I use mine as my daily driver and for work purpose, I do, daily 70 miles to and from work, I also use it for my weekend work where I could do anything from 100 to 1,000 miles in her, in fact have only just come back from three days in Europe travelling to Assen TT cirrcuit and Nurburgring averaging 24-27mpg mixed roads and speeds and in 17 months of ownership have clocked up 25,000 miles and she has run like a dream throughout. Love it.

Too late vans - its already fitted to mine

I just saw that in an upadate on yours, looks good

What you doing with the old diffuser you had on there then

That is one serious tool box!

I agree. Its just one of those traits some people have. I find it hard to understand why someone would buy a car that everyone else has. I get your question, I guess the same thing could be said of two cars identical performance in every way except one looks the same as all the other cars in the road, one looks different. What would you go for?

 

Back on topic though...have to say despite all our ideas, the 370 looks a decent bet! Not that I would go for it

It's looks that win the day for me not how fast I could travel down an A or B road but if I was looking at a sensible choice out of the suggestions here then I would go for the 370, then again I tend not to choose sensible cars so would spend my 25K on one I listed earlier.

Ekona, I understand what you are saying about Porsche as drivers cars but these days unless you do track days, you cant exploit the cars full abilities and stay within the speed limit etc and IMO if your into track days then the choice is a Caterham or similar. My needs and desire is to have something a little different to drive and as good as a Porsche is, I would not choose to follow the pack but have something different, poseur car or not, actually I always fancied myself as a poseur!

Might as well buy an MX5 then, if we're going to start worrying about not being able to use all the abilities of the car. You can't get anywhere near either the 350 or 370 limits on the road, which kinda makes your point redundant

Exactly right, I dont get anywhere near the Zeds limit on the road ( couldnt afford to lose my licence) but then I dont worry about it either cos thats what track days and competing is for. I just like to drive something a little different thats not so popular and thats why we are all different. I didnt buy the Zed for its performance I purchased it because its different to the normal Boxster's, RX7's and the like that litter my way.
