Digsy

Possibly if you cleaned them after every single journey but otherwise I'm dubious. I don't know anyone who's successfully got Volks through a British winter.

Only 2 weeks to wait - what's your hurry boys!

Yay!!!

Makes sense.

Probaby Digsy Careful or we may come and mess up your hair!

Why does it squeak and rattle? Because its a Nissan.

Well that's charming - you spend all your hard-earned trying to create the sexiest, loudest Zed in Liverpool and then your neighbours don't even notice you!!! I'm over by the station. My Zed's looking a bit sorry at the moment, having lost all its toys on Monday, but just let me know if you fancy a pint and a mini-meet. And Martin, the Kingsman is most definitely still there.

Not unless you lower it.

Didn't know that Martin. Just round the corner from me.

F**k me so am I!!!! Whereabouts?

Jay's offsets are very aggressive i.e. they sit almost out of the arches. Its all a matter of personal taste but perceived wisdom is that 19x9.5 front and 19x10.5 rears with a +22 offset are ideal for the Zed.

Well I paid including delivery as i still have the invoice and tax, £1400 And the dish is HUGE At that price they are superb, quality wheels. Just don't expect to run them through the winter months....

Hi Stu, welcome to the site! Nothing wrong with a bit of caution whilst the weather's crap and you're getting used to it. Enjoy! PS Sig pic looks a bit large - can you reduce it for me? 500x100 max

Couldn't agree more, mate.

Am i getting this wrong (probably) but isnt the Zed named as the "Zero fighter" as it has no lift? Wouldnt that then make it theroreticaly capable of hitting the limiter at 200mph? I thought the standard car with the small rear spoiler and front lip (UK spec basically ) had zero lift and the Nismo kit was wind tunnel tested to provide downforce for more grip. At least thats the way i thought Nissan explained it on the BMI video? Not sure about that. I thought the Nismo kit (or at least the rear wing) was designed for a computer game and actually has dubious aerodynamic qualities.

Danny, weight is the biggest issue here and when you are looking going to 19" and wider its easy to see how it can become a problem. Cheap wheels will often be heavy as a result of the materials used to manufacture them. If you're prepared to spend towards the £2k mark there are plenty of forged wheels (as opposed to cast wheels) which will be far lighter, some being lighter in a 19" than the OEM non-Rays wheels were in 18". It isn't quite as simple as forged v cast as my Enkei's are cast yet very light due to the manufacturing process that Enkei use, but as a basic rule forged wheels are the lightest (and most expensive). The most popular forged wheels are Volk by Rays but there are others. Notwithstanding what I've said above, there has been plenty of debate as to whether the extra cost of a forged wheel is worth the extra expense to the average Zed driver. Plenty on here have gone for good value, cast wheels in a 19" without reporting any handling issues or having any complaints whatsoever. If you are tracking the car, I'd say stick with 18" for weight saving. At the other end of the spectrum some of those who have gone 20" with cast wheels have said there was a negative effect on road driving with all the weight. What you do is down to your own priorities and what you want to do aesthetically. HTH

I think the darker anthracite would look well on your car Jonathan +1 Same colour as the Renaultsport ones on the R26 and R27.

How did you get on with this, Derek? whats the matter Digs ? have you got corroding alloys OEM ones, yes. Have you seen my thread including letter to MD of NMGB bud.......? No, but I'll have a look now.

How did you get on with this, Derek? whats the matter Digs ? have you got corroding alloys OEM ones, yes.

Are all these problems on Rays?

Shhhhhh!

How did you get on with this, Derek?

what exhaust ? you have a nismo I have now ......pardon And I don't... Back on my 18" rims too...

Will he be Lianne when its finished???

Good work, fella. That's one clean looking Zed you've got there. Welcome to the site.
