MattG Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Hi all, As there's always someone looking for some new rims I thought I'd let you know about some wheels I've just ordered. They should look something like this: Linea Corse Z2S: Higher res pics: http://www.wheeldude.com/gallery2/d/655 ... hancer.jpg http://www.wheeldude.com/gallery2/d/655 ... hancer.jpg http://www.wheeldude.com/gallery2/d/655 ... hancer.jpg http://www.wheeldude.com/gallery2/d/655 ... hancer.jpg http://www.wheeldude.com/gallery2/d/655 ... G_0060.jpg http://www.wheeldude.com/gallery2/d/655 ... G_0050.jpg http://www.wheeldude.com/gallery2/d/655 ... 0019_1.jpg http://www.wheeldude.com/gallery2/d/655 ... G_0015.jpg http://www.wheeldude.com/gallery2/d/654 ... G_0013.jpg http://www.wheeldude.com/gallery2/d/654 ... G_0122.jpg I have to say a BIG thanks to Ben at Rarerims for sourcing these for me. I was going to get a set of the new Rota GTRs but then I saw these on My350z.com and thought they'd be a much better match for the body kit I've ordered from Envy. They haven't been brought into the UK before so I had to ask for these to be specially ordered for me. To be honest I didn't think Ben would go for it so I was gobsmacked when he agreed. They're currently offered in the US in 19x8.5 ET30 front and 19x9.5 ET30 rear in Hyper Silver with a polished lip. Suffice to say the pics above are with spacers. Ben said that as they were a special order I could specifiy the colour, offset and size. So I've asked for 19x9 Front with ET20 offset and 19x10 Rear with ET20 offset, basically the same as the new GTRs as I love the way they sit in the arches. In terms of colour I've gone for "Matte Steel Grey" with a polished lip. Here's how the "Matte Steel Grey" looks: http://www.wheeldude.com/gallery2/d/961 ... 790_03.jpg I'm not sure if the polished lips will be even bigger on the ones I've ordered or if the extra width will be on the inner edge of the rim. Either way I can't wait to get them! Unfortunately it's going to be 12-16 weeks for them to turn up due to the fact they're custom made but Rarerims are bringing an additional 4 sets into the country in the same fitment. I'm not sure if the colours will be the same but if anyone else wants a set of these and you're quick you might be able to have them made in a colour of your choice. So you could end up with a set of wheels no-one else in the world has! Cost? Less than £1500 delivered fitted with brand new Falken FK452s! I think that includes wheels nuts too, although I'm not sure if that includes a set of locking wheel nuts. I'd just like to say I'm not affiliated with Rarerims, I just wanted to let people know about a new wheel on the scene and say thanks to Ben for sorting this for me. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 those wheels look amazing, very jealous Quote

MattG Posted August 11, 2009 Author Posted August 11, 2009 im interesed..... I assume you paid him up front ? Ive got to say I am very tempted by these Just a £250 deposit mate. You know it makes sense. The fitment in the arches will be the same as these wheels: http://www.wheeldude.com/gallery2/d/103 ... hancer.jpg And another pic of these for good measure : http://www.wheeldude.com/gallery2/d/657 ... hancer.jpg Quote
MattG Posted August 11, 2009 Author Posted August 11, 2009 Cheers for the comments chaps. Here's a close up pic of the wheels: Enough pic whoring now I think! Quote

Whats the first pic ? they are different to the ones you ordered... I like them too http://www.wheeldude.com/gallery2/d/657 ... hancer.jpg Quote
MattG Posted August 11, 2009 Author Posted August 11, 2009 Forgot to mention, the currently available wheels weigh in at 24.7lbs Front & 25.3lbs Rear. Mine will be a little heavier due to the extra inch of width but I reckon that's still pretty good for a huge cast wheel. Quote

See the group buy thread here: viewtopic.php?f=38&t=24584 Also here's some pics from a guy who just got his: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=25414 Hope this helps. Quote
Maccaman Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Really like the look of those. What colour is your Zed, if black then I think they will be stunning. Quote
MattG Posted August 11, 2009 Author Posted August 11, 2009 Really like the look of those. What colour is your Zed, if black then I think they will be stunning. Gunmetal! But if it helps it will be combined with a rather nice kit! Quote

HEADPHONES Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 Timeless beauties that will never date Quote
St3v50z Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 They look the nuts i have to say. I am currently waiting to take delivery of the wheels i ordered from Wheeldude.com aswell. The guys at RareRims were'nt able to supply me the colour i wanted as it was USA market only, so i had to import them myself. I went for the Rota Grid Drifts in Hyper Black though. Quote
srobrien Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Deposit paid....bring on the Lineas!! Big thanks to Ben from rarerims for these, can't wait to get them. R Quote

srobrien Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 I think the only ones he is taking in is the anthracite with polished lip, it will look awsome on the GM. R Quote
Stew Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 I'm looking forward to seeing it! Oh and Ben from rarerims. I was the one making the noise in the back ground yesterday! Quote
