As luck would have it, having a bottle of CC Revolt was just the ticket as the RAYS needed to be super clean and put away till winter - making way for a new set of rims. Every car I've owned I've always changed the wheels to help put my own little stamp on it, we all like to tinker. Owned my 350z for almost 3yrs, it's bugged me not to do the same. The option 18' RAYS are such a great wheel and I struggled to choose a set i felt would look nice in my eyes.
eBay favourite 5x114.3 - 18' & 19' used for what seemed like forever, was showing nothing to my liking. One of my all time favourite wheels are the R34 GTR magnesium forged alloys. But seemingly have missed the boat for these as they go for silly money now, due to how rare they are.
When Andy stuck up a FS thread for his old wheels, I couldn't see a reason not to drive down and pick them up. His 350z is super clean and the wheels were as you'd expect coming off a show car. With only doing a few thousand miles a year, there no better car to buy wheels from.
New hardware applied: Tarmacsportz Neo lug nuts, flush centre caps and 66.1 sprigot rings.
RAYS cleaned and put away.
New wheels to take their place.

Absolutely chuffed with them and the wait was well worth it. Although initially I didn't want to get this style wheel, as its pretty much the default JDM choice......
Arguably the most copied aftermarket wheel design of recent times and it's easy to see why. Obviously the RAYS TE37's are the daddies, with numerous companies copying *Rota, Bola, Wolface, Calibre, JapanRacing. Of the lot, VarrsToen for me made the best looking.
