Mikey Thompson Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Another borrowed photo to show how good silver/chrome looks on a black car. Definitely photoshopped but still look good nonetheless. The photoshop makes them look like 20's!
roadtrip Posted February 5, 2016 Author Posted February 5, 2016 Definitely photoshopped but still look good nonetheless. The photoshop makes them look like 20's! I'm not skilled in spotting Photoshopped images but you may well be right. Having said that I think lighter coloured wheels especially those with thin spokes that go right to the rim always look bigger than darker wheels.
roadtrip Posted February 12, 2016 Author Posted February 12, 2016 I've updated the original post with a price for Paisley Freight and also suggested a local refurb place that could provide the buyer with a drive in - drive out service.
SteveW Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 A set of FK453 would only be around £500 so that with the refurb and wheels is still a good overall price for 5Zigen. 1
roadtrip Posted February 13, 2016 Author Posted February 13, 2016 Yeah, we all need tyres once in a while and even reasonable brands aren't silly money in these sizes. I think the price is fair as I've never seen a cheaper set of quality Japanese 19" wheels anywhere even taking into account the cost of a refurb! I've had loads of interest though so I'm sure it can only be a matter of time.
roadtrip Posted February 18, 2016 Author Posted February 18, 2016 i take it these are sold now?? Not yet, drop me a PM if you're interested or need more info.
roadtrip Posted February 18, 2016 Author Posted February 18, 2016 Deposit taken, collection in a few weeks.
roadtrip Posted February 24, 2016 Author Posted February 24, 2016 Good news for all those people kicking themselves for missing out on these wheels - they are now back up for sale again! Don't miss out on these for a second time.
roadtrip Posted March 1, 2016 Author Posted March 1, 2016 New month, new price. For March I'm going to drop the price of these lovely wheels to just £540. Yes that's a 10% drop - absolute bargain for these amazing concave Japanese wheels. 2
roadtrip Posted March 1, 2016 Author Posted March 1, 2016 Do you take finance lol Sure, I'd be happy to take four monthly payments of £135 if you're happy to take one wheel per month. 1
-Bradders- Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 Do you take finance lol Sure, I'd be happy to take four monthly payments of £135 if you're happy to take one wheel per month. I might even take you up on that haha! once the engines back in, if noone has bought these you'll be having a PM!

I would have thought there was an easier way to finance £540 but I'm open to suggestions! I'm finding that selling wheels isn't nearly as exciting as buying them. 1
roadtrip Posted March 18, 2016 Author Posted March 18, 2016 I still think these look great in bronze, of course mine are bigger and wider with a deeper rear but you get the idea. You can't beat genuine Japanese wheels on a Japanese car.
josh2005 Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 I'm not very good with wheels, would these fit a 370z?
roadtrip Posted March 20, 2016 Author Posted March 20, 2016 I'm not very good with wheels, would these fit a 370z? I've not tried them on a 370Z but they should according to this thread: 5Zigen ProRacer ZR+520 Wheels for 370z Mine are lower offset than those mentioned so will fill the arches better as well, although they will probably poke a bit on the front unless you're lowered. You may want some 15mm spacers on the rear to really fill the arches although not necessary for clearance.The wheels are the same widths as the 370Z GT wheels so will take the OEM tyre sizes. Here's a photo to give you an idea but it looks like a Photoshop job. I think they'd look amazing on a lowered 370Z and very individual.
josh2005 Posted March 21, 2016 Posted March 21, 2016 Thanks, I'll have a think about them! I am having a few bits sprayed this month which is costing me a fair bit so i'll need to see how I get on! I'll keep you posted!
roadtrip Posted March 29, 2016 Author Posted March 29, 2016 I'm open to sensible offers on these wheels as I know they need a bit of work before most people would consider putting them on their car. Just bear in mind that they do come with new centre caps which cost me £90 and the new price was around £1,600 so are excellent quality wheels considering the money I'm asking for them.
roadtrip Posted April 8, 2016 Author Posted April 8, 2016 With all the people on here who like to be different by buying a Zed and then personalising with unique and tasteful mods I'm surprised people haven't jumped at these. I've had loads of interest but no one has been man (or woman!) enough to take these on. Surely one of you has the vision to buy these, paint them a cool colour and live forever more with people in awe of you for your audacious and inspired choice. Having run them for three years I can tell you that these concave icons really turn heads even in there original grey. Be bold, seize the day and PM me your best offer. You know you've been thinking about them and can't live without them.
roadtrip Posted April 17, 2016 Author Posted April 17, 2016 These have now been sold, paid for and collected. Unfortunately not to a forum member but will be back on a 350Z soon.
