Easy - pick a wheel and then do your research on the American sites. You'll find that very few wheels don't already have a what size/offset thread over there. Except perhaps Dotz..... I'm no expert but I know a bit so you could PM me or post in the Team section?

I had 9" front and 10" rear with 245 front and 275 rear. What you must be careful of is rubbing which won't be a problem if you leave the suspension but could be if you drop. I'd would be very careful with any offset of less than say +22 if you go for a wide 9.5/10.5 combo. Tyre sizes will make a difference as will the amount of any drop. Best idea is to select a wheel or two and then ask the question as there is no hard and fast rule which suits all wheels.

+1 As there are no power gains to be had its entirely subjective. The only other issue is your budget. No power gains but you can have power loss. Fair point. Torque loss on decatted exhausts and to a lesser extent true duals seems to be the bigger problem.

Awesome! The sound and gearchange reminds me of a video game. I hadn't realised the driver can take a sneaky peek on how he's doing on that last long straight. I bet a few have done that and then pushed too hard on those last few corners.... BTW did they use the "pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey" method for siting those air vents....

I agree that the front could be more aggressive. Back is the same as the Nismos so OK but all a matter of taste. Have to be careful though with lowering as may get some rubbing. That's why, whilst I respect anyone who wants to be different, picking a wheel that other owners have some experience of is far safer.

Wow, not what I was expecting at all. The only Weds wheels I've seen on Zeds are the Weds Sport range.

Weds - nice! Which ones and who from?

Ah recognise that one from Pistonheads. We like the red ones here!

We know, mate. http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic ... sc&start=0

Ah a joint intro post - how sweet! Anyway, welcome guys! David, as said above, unless you can find a very high mileage UK car its imports for you on that budget. However, have a good mooch around the site - I honestly can't remember anyone saying they regretted getting an import and wouldn't recommend it. Usual stuff applies - higher insurance for imports but apparently lower road tax. The JDM forum is you friend. Paul, if you've fallen in love with the Zed for its looks you're more than halfway there and the rest is unlikely to disappoint. The tactile quality of the interior isn't up to Porsche/BMW/Audi standards but it doesn't fall apart and they're pretty sturdy mechanically. The drive is fantastic - lots of grunt and some grin-inducing rear while drive handling. The only people who've shown some mild disappointment are Scooby/Evo owners who seem to miss the rush of the turbo but they soon seem to get used to the more linear power delivery. Again have a mooch round and get a feel for things. There are few questions that haven't been asked before.

Hi and welcome! Love the name!

Hi and welcome!

Is that who you were going to use Damien? Just kerbed mine so can't just blame it all on your bad driving now Nah, I was going to use a bunch in Widnes because it was closer. I don't even own the wheels anymore and I still winced when I read that.

Stunning! If I could find a green with envy smilie, I'd post it.

Trust me, this is a brownie points trip. No way will I be missing the next one.

I'm sure they'll take it in good part.

Welcome aboard, buddy!

If you can stretch to an MY07 its a good improvement over the MY06.

Welcome aboard, mate!

Not personally. PM davestan, he's used them IIRC.

Gutted but the missus has got us tickets to something or other for Thursday night.

I am going to Jap Northwest in August if you want to wait that long or if you want to see before then PM me and we can arrange something as you live so close. Get your name down, Chris!

We're both right Rays as above and non-Rays 8" all round.
