speedball Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 In general what sort of wheels do you think the Z suits. Its funny, I'm looking through pictures of different models of cars and see some that definitely look good, and others that defnitely don't. I'm on the look out for some wheels for my Z and I'm looking at eithr 5 or six spoke - namely some RacingHarts: My personal opinion is that multispoke don't suit the Z (plus they are a fag to keep clean) What do you think she suits?????

WoREoD Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I think my 5-spoke GT4 wheels support your theory. Less to clean too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Definatley go for a 5 or 6 spoke with a nice big polished dish on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 5 or 6 spoke is all good, but it's also the most popular choice, making you less unique I went for something I never ever saw on the Z and took my chances, I think my wheels look really really good on the Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedball Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 Yeah I atually like your wheels although I didn't think I would, there are many others that really don't suit, 20 spoke wheels and others just don't go IMHO. think I'm going to place an order for the above Funny though how a set of wheels can look good on one car and crap on another, doesn't really make sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_MSM Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Nice choice Speedball - Have seen those on an American Zed and they look spot on. Have just ordered some Racing Hart C4's for mine and the quality is brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedball Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 Where did you buy these from and what size? I'm looking toward America to get them, seems loadsa wonga will be saved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revsport Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I love the racing Hart wheels Looked at them Before getting volks. What about LE37T volks Black centre and stainless rim. Would be sweet against the sunset Lew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l33r0y Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 Axis Milanos all the way - I think they suit the Z perfectly. Sporty but nice curves, like the car itself. Should be ordering a set this week from the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 yeah they look quite good, they are not forged though IIRC, hence they are gonna weigh a tonne or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l33r0y Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 yeah they look quite good, they are not forged though IIRC, hence they are gonna weigh a tonne or two Slightly lighter than original standard & 'GT4' alloys, so not too bad. I'll have to fill them with helium to compensate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev946 Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 I think it's a combination of personal taste's, the colour of the car and style. I would stick to Japanese wheels, i.e Volks, Racing Harts, etc. For the Cossie I've gone for a more retro design, simple 5 spoke star shape. These are my new wheels.

Removed Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 hey mate, I did try to post on the other site that your wheels look GREAT! but I guess whoever has reviewed my post must have considered it too threatening for the establishment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_MSM Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Speedball - Ordered mine from Envy performance. 9'' fronts and 10'' rears with Toyo tyres. If you want a price PM me but they weren't too costly delivered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(posts have now been deleted).. Anyway, you will probably be seeing a lot more of me now let's say... I'll get some more pictures up on here, not sure about the other side..

Nick_MSM Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Kev the wheels look excellent, how much did you lower it by? I've just bought some Teins which lower circa 20mm I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colesy1976 Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Well, I did a lot of checking out different wheels / tyres etc. and ended up with Anterra 343's. Very nice, 2 piece, chrome rims (replaceable). 20" X 11" backs and 20" X 9" fronts....Price total about £2,500. What d'ya reckon? If you want more info on where to buy, I can forward some details.

Thanks for the compliment. I went for RS-R Ti2000's. These drop about the same as Teins. I believe Teins are 0.7"/0.6" front/rear, whereas RS-R's are 0.6"/0.6" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 sounds expensive for Anteras mate, not even forged wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev946 Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 I've got a DIY spring installation write up to post BTW. I'm stuck in a hotel at the moment though. Will try and get this up tomorrow night. So for anyone installing there own springs, read this first. There's a few good tips which will save you a lot of time, plus loads of pictures.

I think they are the only company that makes tyres to suit the Anterra's. When I imported the car through Futurauto's:- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
