Zjay89 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Hi guys, need a little help! i cant make my mind up for weather is should stick with 19 inch wheels or go back to 18 inch wheels? i currently have some horrible after market wheels on my Z that came with the car, they are 19 inch! now i'm looking to get some new wheels and cant decided on which size is best for what i need, i will be going on the odd track day and do like to use the car "enthusiastically" for a better word, can anyone give me some help with there past experiences? Thanks James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilside z Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Probably 18s if you intend to track. 19 or 20s for show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Generally it's 18" for go and 19" for show. I've had both on Zeds, I find 18's a little bit more nimbler than 19" but theres not much in it really. We sell tons of wheels, JR, Rota, XXR etc so drop me a message if I can help, 9.5 front /10.5 rear is popular on both 18 & 19" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aashenfox Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) I was in the exact same position, I bought my car with some no-name 19 inch deep concave wheels which weighed about 3 tons each. I went back to the Rays stock 18" wheels found on the Touring spec, they are very light forged wheels (one of the best stock wheels on any car) and can be picked up cheaply. The car already feels MUCH nippier. Sure, they aren't deep concave with a dollar bill dish, but for both daily driving AND any amount of track abuse, they are ideal, plus you won't be bothered too much if you ruin them. There are several sets available on ebay and on the forum, as of a few days ago, haven't checked lately.

Payco Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 19S for show, 18's for go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 i ve had lots of differant wheels etc on the zed and imo 18s suit best. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) To add: 18's for go, 19's for show, 20's just no. A light 18 (i.e original ray) will definitely feel much better and generally be cheaper than 19's (tyres etc) but in all honesty unless your chasing lap times/serious track whore, a 19 is fine both on road and track, all depends what you like the look of Edited October 18, 2016 by Jetpilot 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyp01 Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Lads if u fit 19's do the arches need to be rolled? I'm going drop mine on tein springs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 All depends on width and offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Lads if u fit 19's do the arches need to be rolled? I'm going drop mine on tein springs As Jet Pilot says it does depend. A lot of owners run Teins and 19's without arch rolling. What wheels are you thinking of? 19x9.5/10.5 are the popular ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
