Ephraimjohn Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Hi I went for new tyres at the weekend and the fitter pointed out that a weld on a crack in my front alloy had failed, and a crack around an inch long had reappeared. I drove home very gingerly and am now looking for a replacement, but it seems as though the silver 18" Rays (Track 1) are hard to find. So far I have managed to find one, requiring reconditioning, for £1200! Does anyone have any idea where I could find myself one (or even two) for a front wheel on a 2005 Zed? I'm not keen on the idea of getting a failed weld re-welded. All ideas gratefully received. Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 I can do you some aftermarket wheels for about half the price if you fancied a change from the Rays. Failing that they often come up for sale £350 -£500 Quote
nixy Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 I have a friend who damaged one of her Rays and ended up getting a new complete set of something else instead. Her car is a 2008. I will ask her if she's still go her wheels - it's worth a try. Where are you based? Quote

ZMANALEX Posted February 29, 2016 Posted February 29, 2016 Plenty 350Z wheels in stock including Rays and base model wheels and GT4 Just to be clear, may be a plan to post up a picture of what you actually require as I am not sure what you mean by Track 1. Alex. Quote

Ephraimjohn Posted February 29, 2016 Author Posted February 29, 2016 Hi. I'm based in Warwickshire. I don't have a picture of my actual wheel on me at present (I'm at work and the car is parked up at home), but the "Track 1" reference came from this article: http://www.350z-tech.com/wiki/index.php?title=Wheel_Specifications#Track_18.22_v.1 as that seems to be what I have. Given the choice I would rather just buy the one replacement, assuming I can get it to match. I don't want to have to muck around with insurance declarations and quite like the look of the wheels I have. If I have to buy a set, then so be it, but I'd rather not as there's no point in having 7 wheels when the car only needs four! Quote

I have singles in stock, just drop me a PM if I can help further. Alex. 1 Quote
