rmmackfc Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 These look amazing! http://axiswheels.com/wheels.php?id=super_hiro Look like Time Attacks but cheaper and in multiple colours. Ok so they'll be a bit heavier, but I think you'll all want them. I'm seeing if they do them for me.... and they don't Quote
stuey Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 looks like something halfords wud sell................. Quote

I'm seeing if they do them for me.... and they don't Ok I'm betting that the usual people will want these: Zedrush sl114 Chris I Sinbad Zedrush will buy 3 sets, sl114 will say he's defo geting a set for his white zed, GM zed or Camaro, Chris I will ask his Mrs if he's allowed them and sinbad will fall over pi**ed in a toilet at the sight of these Quote
stevie_350z Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 I was thinking of nismo 19s, but I think I fancy the axis hiro antracite 9.5/10.5 instead. On their site it totals that @ $1800 so plus tyres and import, quite pricey but probably about the same as the nismos... wonder if I can get them for 1700 sterling... probably not as I would need fatter tyres - perhaps 285 on the back, and 245 on the front?

Digsy Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 I've always loved Hiros and these are quite cool. They've clearly looked at how popular the Time Attack Volks wheels have been and thought we'll have some of that! I like the yellow with black on the UY (although the kit is rank ). Some of the other colours will look a bit tacky I suspect. Quote

Some of the other colours will look a bit tacky I suspect. +1 Thats perhaps the worst kit I've ever seen in design, fitting and paint matching My problem with the Time Attacks was that they included two colours. Red and Black. Would look mint on Red or Black cars. On another colour you then have Red, Black plus A.N.Other which I don't like plus the bronze calipers so you end up with 4 colours on one car which is wrong imo Quote

For me TA's work on black or red cars only (sorry Ian ) but the calipers are another issue altogether.... Quote
Stew Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 I think Ians GM looks good with the time attacks. The Hiros are pretty cool. Quote

stevie_350z Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 yeah, but they are 8.5 / 9.5... I want 9.5 / 10.5 for the "phat" look Quote

stevie_350z Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 jay - what's wrong with hiro's, you big strumpet?! h5 - I'm after a wider tyre... remember an old thread I started about wanting a big fat back end....? it all started after I was queuing up @ nurburgring behind a gt3rs and that was phat! and anyway you two, why are you updating this forum and distracting me from leaving for work! Quote
H5 Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 I am working! I do yes, but wasn't sure if you were still wanting to mimick the Porker. Are these going on your current or new car??? Quote
stevie_350z Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 i don't think there's enough difference for the extra cost of a new Z. besides, I like the one I've got... it's fast enough, i've had it since new, and I think that by tarting this one up (new seats, front lip, possibly side skirts, popcharger, new nob...) that would make me happiest... but then I read about the new supercharged elise in the sunday times... clarkson wasn't a huge fan so it must be great!

Dude you have kidding 1 all Quote
Chris`I Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 You want to be careful just adding fat tyres to the Zed and what it might do to the handling. Remember Porkers have big fat rear tyres cos they need the extra grip with the engine hanging out the back. How much do these weigh? Last thing I'd want to do is add something detremental to the performance Quote
Jacko Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Im in love with racing hart wheels but they keep discontinuing their wheels Jay, Racing Hart are what the cool select people have ! Quote
Zedrush Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Im in love with racing hart wheels but they keep discontinuing their wheels Jay, Racing Hart are what the cool select people have ! I know but they are so bloody hard to get hold of, the two that I want are impossible to get: Everyone advertise them but the minute you call them up they say discontinued... Its like they are teasing me sob Danny and I are looking for 5 spoke, 19 x 12 rear and 19 x 9 front... can we get them... no Quote
Jacko Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Well you know where I got mine from don't you...... If Adam can't get em, considering he has great relationship with the master distributor in the states then they're gone for good mate.... You need to be quick and stop poncing around! Quote

Loads love them on GM & loads hate them. Personally I love them & GM is the only colour other than Red& black that can get away with the colours IMO. Quote

Are you serious Why didnt I try that route.. wanna sell yours? Quote
