srobrien Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Hey, just need a quick opinion. I will be after a set of new alloys quite soon but im not into big bling bling multispoke things im more a fan of JDM drift/lightweight style wheels. I have seen a set of Zito's I quite like Problem is the ones on the pic are 19", I've just forked out the best part of £500 for new falkens and I am wandering if I would be better off getting the 18" ones and swapping the tyres across. I don't think it would be too bad as im lowered. So do I: a. Stick with 18" and swap my new tyres over, sell old alloys seperatly. b. Stop being a cheapskate, get 19" with tyres and sell my old alloys/tyres? Opinions? R Quote
IanS16 Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 b!! Dont forget you'll be able to sell your old wheels for a bit towards them Quote
MrLizard Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 also depends if the tyres you currently have will fit properly on the 18's you might buy, could potentially be wider... Quote
Chris`I Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 also depends if the tyres you currently have will fit properly on the 18's you might buy, could potentially be wider... +1 - need to know the dimensions, but most aftermarket 18s would be wider than stock. If they fit then its down to personal preference Quote
srobrien Posted July 22, 2009 Author Posted July 22, 2009 Hmm the 19's in the pic are only running 255 on the rear so it would probably be ok..... Quote
JT1703 Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 You've got plenty of cash so do what I did Ross ... get the 19s with new rubber and keep the 18s as winter wheels Quote
srobrien Posted July 22, 2009 Author Posted July 22, 2009 You've got plenty of cash so do what I did Ross ...pfft now you ARE having a laugh! R Quote
rtbiscuit Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 maybe its the photo but they're not doing it for me sorry sobrien, find me a better pick and then i'll help you with your decision. Quote
srobrien Posted July 22, 2009 Author Posted July 22, 2009 There you go, like i said im not into blingbling, prefer a cleaner look. R Quote
rtbiscuit Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 fair play. if it were me i'd get 19's with correct tyres and sell the old ones Quote
ab350z Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Get chrome 22s Ross then advertise yourself as a one person Limosine. That Hannah Montana limo has ruled the roost in Aberdeen for far too long now!!! Quote

srobrien Posted July 22, 2009 Author Posted July 22, 2009 18's FTW!!!! in my opinion!!! They look pretty sweet. Is that a matt black z in the background!? Quote
M350ZB Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Elite bud not to far from me, if you go there to get your wheels done, be sure to drop me a pm Quote
dcash5 Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 18's FTW!!!! in my opinion!!! They look pretty sweet. Is that a matt black z in the background!? Never mind the background, this thread is about 18" wheels Quote
srobrien Posted July 22, 2009 Author Posted July 22, 2009 All right all right, jeez! your wheels are very nice R Quote
rtbiscuit Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 i went to elite when i got my exhaust sorted, they were really good. loved there shop. should have spent more time down there. Quote
M350ZB Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 Yes elite is a really great price, some cracking people there too Quote
Ian Posted July 22, 2009 Posted July 22, 2009 18's FTW!!!! in my opinion!!! They look pretty sweet. Is that a matt black z in the background!? I only see a Range Rover in the background Quote

Looks like a 4.6 HSE to me! Ross, I'd be keeping 18s for winter if you can. Either that or don't take the car out! The Aberdeenshire winter WILL kill your wheels! Quote
