Ayyyyy! Welcome to the forum mate, you found me! I'm just glad they went to a good home, they look lovely mate, stella refurb there

Hi all sorry for the late post had a busy week! Thanks for organising @andy james I was 2nd to arrive next to @Cals_350z. Had a great morning chatting to some of you guys then spent most the day by the track or walking around. Was hoping to get chatting to more of you but by the time I got back late afternoon most had left haha. Some amazing looking zeds though great to see! This was the first show mine has been to in the 5.5 years I've owned it Loads more to do to mine just didn't have time to get it all fitted beforehand

Any advice on arch rolling? Cant find anyone that does it around South Wales, i know there is Arch Enemy but they wont come this far from what i've seen, or have to charge a lot due to travel which i understand. Contemplating giving it a go myself im just worried about cracking the paint, obv ill use a heat gun. Im not convinced on the quality of the rollers on Ebay or Amazon they have very mixed reviews. Anyone had any experience using any of those? Im wondering if i even need to roll them, over wavey/humpy roads at high speeds the wheel does rub/scrub, but im not sure if thats on the inside of the arch or the arch lip, cant see any tyre marks, but im also still on stock suspension so when i switch to the Teins (z street basis as im on a budget) i imagine the stiffness may stop that anyway?) any thoughts? cheers

Thank you! Im very happy with them! ...Yep, I've been looking high and low for someone local that does arch rolling, I'm in South Wales and the only place I can seem to find is Arch Enemy but they wont come this far.. well not without a big added cost anyway unless I had a group around here they might do a deal That's for another post in the near future though 😅

Welcome! Nice to see some peeps in here fairly local to me / my hometown. Originally Weston-s-Mare now in South Wales. Work in Bristol will keep an eye out for ya. Give me a shout if any meets come up. Enjoy your new Zed she looks lovely

PIC HEAVY... Wheels and tyres are on ! Bit of poke currently and rear arches need rolling, possibly pulling, and will be putting it on coilovers in very near future then get a good alignment job done, ...but I'm loving the look of it already Cosmis XT-006R - 18x9.5” ET10 (Front) Kumho Ecsta PS71 255/35 (15mm Direnza spacers to clear brembos on the front) - 18x11” ET8 (Rear) Kumho Ecsta PS91 285/35

Thanks for this mate haha perfect. Will do

Wow. Thanks for the info and experience advice that's great. That's some huge tyres man. What car you running them on? Have you got a super wide kit? Any thoughts about pros and cons going for a wider tyre on stock performance? You may have actually helped me lean even more towards the Kumhos now as they are a bit more "wallet friendly" and have great wet weather performance (apparently) haven't experienced them myself before but they are better rated than what I have been using on stock which are the Apollos (which I highly recommend for a budget tyre) Used 2 sets of 4 in last 4 years

SPAXY - Just seen your thread on looking for some new wheels, if you like the style of these cosmis im getting highly recommend checking out the other colours or the Cosmis 206Rs as well if you want multispoke They do loads of colours, including bronze and hyper bronze, as well as machined lip or machined spoke options couple links below for you (i havent filtered these down to vehicle or specs just for the photos but have a gander hope it helps https://www.fitmentindustries.com/buy-wheel-offset/XT206FF-1895-38-5x114+3-BHB2/cosmis-racing-xt-206r-ff-18x95-38 https://www.torqen.uk/wheels/cosmis/cosmis-xt006r/15924-cosmis-racing-xt-006r-black-with-machined-lip-20-x-95-10-offset-5x1143-bolt-pattern-731mm-hub-xt006r-2095-10-5x1143-bml.html https://www.torqen.uk/wheels/cosmis/cosmis-xt006r/15939-cosmis-racing-xt-006r-bronze-18-x-95-10-offset-5x1143-bolt-pattern-731mm-hub-xt006r-1895-10-5x1143-br.html https://www.torqen.uk/wheels/cosmis/cosmis-xt006r/15937-cosmis-racing-xt-006r-hyper-bronze-18-x-95-10-offset-5x1143-bolt-pattern-731mm-hub-xt006r-1895-10-5x1143-hbr.html https://www.torqen.uk/wheels/cosmis/cosmis-xt006r/15961-cosmis-racing-xt-006r-black-with-machined-spokes-18-x-11-8-offset-5x1143-bolt-pattern-731mm-hub-xt006r-1811-8-5x1143-bms.html https://www.torqen.uk/639-cosmis

Thanks mate, appreciate the advice

Ahh sorry Not 100% sure yet iI have a good tyre guy that will guide me though the best options, budget vs high end etc once I have chosen the sizes, but leaning towards either Kumho all round PS71s and PS91s Though I may push the boat out and go for Michelin Pilot Sport 4's on the fronts any reccomendations?

Thanks! Will do

Thats good to hear. I have checked measurements and looks like the should fit, also did a comparison table (attached) I'm thinking 255/35 front and 285/35 in the rear (so I'm not running too much stretch) but can still lower nicely (rears are already rolled)

Hello I have some new wheels coming in the coming weeks: Cosmis XT-006R - 18x9.5” ET10 (Front) - 18x11” ET8 (Rear) And 15mm spacers to clear brembos on the front Being new to custom wheels and getting the right fitment I'm after some advice on what tyre sizes I can or should run (bearing in mind I will also be lowing on tein coilovers in the next couple months) I'm thinking 255/35 front and 285/35 in the rear (so I'm not running too much stretch) but can still lower nicely (rears are already rolled) Will these work / look even? 285 sounds huge to me but they probably aren't in the grand scheme of things. I want a good look but I also don't want to be running extra weight where I don't need to Sorry for the newbie questions and thanks in advance

Hi, sorry to revive an old thread (its a really helpful one) but I really love these wheels. I have a gunmetal z and i have been looking and umming and ahh-ing for months about what wheels to go for and these really do look lovely! Anyone know where to get hold of some in the UK? struggling to find any. the few I have found, apparently don't fit the 350z.. Alternatively, quite liking the look of the hyper grey or matt bronze JR18s (19") but struggling to find pics on a gunmetal 350z. Looking for advice on best stagger and offset as I'm currently on stock suspension but considering lowering, and ideally i dont want to have to do any fender pulling/rolling if I dont have to, however I think getting the wheels first is the best bet

Perfect. Thank you so much. Guessing that top pic is on 19s. Looks great I think

oh okay, thank you.. my bad. though i have done some more snooping and appears that the tein springs are the tried and tested

Hi. sorry to revive an old topic but im currently looks at wheels and lowering my gunmetal 350z. Yours looked perfect to me, what size wheels were those out of interest? as im stuck between going for 18s or 19s. and are they in a gunmetal or steel grey? many thanks

Thanks for coming back on this appreciate it. i'll have a gander for those spats. I think i'll likely be going with 18s unless i find a steal on some 19s ... so il probably go with some different springs.. From what I've seen lurking around the forum, for 18s a 20/25mm drop tends to be the key

Hi all Has anyone got a picture of a gunmetal 350 with gunmetal wheels on - preferably ROTA GTR Style? I have done quite a bit of searching and lurking on the forum over the past week and found some really nice looking cars and ideas but haven't quite seen what I'm asking for so sorry if I've missed it somewhere Been umming and ahhing about colours for ages but im quite tempted at the look of the gunmetal. Also unsure whether to go 18s or 19s. Car is currently on 17" rays but looking to upgrade and lower by 20-30mm so any pics or ideas would be greatly appreciated thanks

this is lovely, what rear spats are those? Really look nice. Also what springs did you use? Currently looking to buy hence how I came across this photo 🥰

Hi, really love the subtle kit here. Would you mind sharing what front lip, side skirts and spoiler you have?

Thanks for all the info mate. Sorry manic day will give you a call sometime Monday
