ClarCE Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 They're are quite cheap - £470 (no tyres) - so not sure, but thought this might be a good thing to do simply so I'm not adding Rota's like a lot of people have done already.. Heres a pic, I think they'll look good... What do you think? Much appreciated, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 wow they look cool! Are they forged though ? Everyone seems to go on about how heavy normal cast alloys are compared to forged? You never know it may effect the fuel economy of the Zed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD7 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I like them although I'm sure I posted a thread about Ace alloys in the past and they were looked down on!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never know it may effect the fuel economy of the Zed! Not forged by the look of it, but surely can't be that much difference in weight?

stanski Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Those Allen headed screws look like they could weight at least as much as a bag of sugar each!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClarCE Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 Ok, they're telling me that they won't fit If the stud pattern is correct, the offset is et35 and the size is 18x8.5J all the way around, how exactly will they not clear the brakes? Bearing in mind I also have 20mm spacer at the mo.. Any advice appreciated, I was this '' close to hitting the buy button.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1 HNK Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 my personal opinion, if your only going for 18's then rotas are the way the go, they just seem to suit the Zed where as other 18's just dont look right. If your going for 19's then i think you can dare to be a bit different and these would look really good in 19". Sorry to hear they wont fit though.

ClarCE Posted October 16, 2008 Author Share Posted October 16, 2008 According to a USA site, they will fit a 350Z Performance? Done a quick search for that but not yielding much - I might just get them anyway, and then if they're wrong I won't unwrap them and will return under distance selling act.. I suspect that as they haven't been tried, they are nervous about doing it - thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 the 350z Performance doesn't have the Brembo brakes, that may be where the clearance issue is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
