If your primary concern is performance not aesthetics, sack off the idea of a set of Rotas narrower than your OEM rims and get a second hand set of the the current standard fit Rays. You won't get much lighter than them in an 18.

Terrible news, Jay. Stay strong - our thoughts are with you.

Afraid not. Your offsets need to be between about +20 and +30 and your wheels need to be wider than those. Do a search on here for Rotas and you will see some of the other guys wheels and the sizes/offsets they went for.

Wearing a plant pot on your head and shouting "wibble" is a bit different but you'd still look a ****. The wheels you've chosen have completely inappropriate offsets and may not clear your brakes if you have Brembos. If the look you're after is E-Type you're going the right way about it...

+1 and as Digsy says stick with 18s Got to agree on the colours here, although much prefer 19's on Zed's. They fill the arch much better and also save the need for spacers. I'm on 19" Nismos and the ride is perfect, can't tell difference from stock 18's - apart from much better grip ( wider and better tyres ). The fact that they are 19" has no bearing on whether they need spacers or not - that's all about offset and width. An 18" with the right offset/wheel width combo will fill the arches much better than a 19" with crap offsets. What Drewbie says about the ride is bang on though. The OEM Bridgestones have very stiff sidewalls which give a fairly unforgiving ride. When I went to 19" with Falkens the softer sidewalls cancelled out the effect of them being shallower and the ride was no worse. If you stick with an 18" wheel and a tyre with a softer sidewall you may even notice an improvement. One word of warning though - 18" combos always look better lowered and unless you're prepared to pay for coilovers, lowering springs are likely to make the ride harsher.

Would you be interested in a PX with a honda integra?? it has 4 seats and a huge boot! STOO ...because they are so similar!

17s would be retrograde step. Some JDMs come on them and whilst I don't want to slaq anyone's ride I suspect most owners would like to go 18" or bigger. Colour is a matter of taste. I'd go anthracite but I've also seen a GM with black Rotas (all black, no lip) and it looked spot on.

Thread title amended for you.

Before my MY07 Zed I had an 05 Zed. Next I'm thinking possibly a Zed but maybe I'll go with a soft top this time....

+1 Tyres are interchangeable (if you have the correct ones on anyway) although the Rays are a touch wider at the rear.

membermap.php We do have the member map but it needs people to add themselves.

+1 -1 Alex tracks/races this car, as well as using it on the road, so the stickers reflecting the changes he has carried out are quite appropriate IMO. Seeing the car in the flesh (which I don't think Sarnie or Pimm have) will fully reveal what this roadster is all about - see pic below to give you some idea of the extensive engine mods that include one-off engine internals, and mapping courtesy of Abbey Motorsport. The car is remains perfectly useable on the road and as those who rode shotgun with Alex will reveal it has some serious grunt whilst the noise it makes is simply the best I have ever heard a ZED make. Oh, and the bonnet suits it fine - more important, a little less weight means a little more go Same weight as the OEM.
