Sarnie Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Been looking at these for a while: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/20-GTR-Skyline-RB ... dZViewItem Think they would look good on a UY? Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomoto Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 answered on your previous pot but here goes yes they would look very similar to what Kev had fitted to his UY, and they really suited the car... get em bought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I think they look nice and should go well with the UY Sarnie. Why dont you cut one out from the picture and offer it up to see what it looks like. Black rims does seem to suit UY nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Quads Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Yup wheels are a fairly good price considering the tyres are included. Looking at them the only query would be do they clear the Brembo calipers as they look like a design that might not work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lomoto Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Are they brembos? they look like different aftermarket brakes. you may well be correct one things for sure if they clear those they will clear Brembo's besides which I dont think the seller would advertise them for 350z's if they didnt clear the calipers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digsy Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 Looks like a good price to me. Reckon they'll look in 20" with your bodykit, Sarnie. Go for it! Val, what's up with Ruff wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 just not proper wheel brand IMO that's all those 20" will weigh 3 tons each too making Sarnie the slowest in the village comments like these don't help either with reagrds to Ruff wheels "Maybe a bit late but I thought I'd offer you my 2 cents.I too own a 2003 G35 coupe 6MT. Here's the deal: If you live in a pot hole ridden area DO NOT get these wheels! I've replaced FOUR front wheels. Three from pot holes one from me being an idiot. The point is our car is rather heavy 3500lbs. These wheels are made for the kids that drive Civic, and other teenage "tuner" type cars. Don't get me wrong I absolutely love the way they look on my car but I get VERY mad when I smack a pot hole and it cost me 700 bones to fix. Also, even if you live where the road are perfect you really need a garage. My rear lips have begun to rust and it does not look cool."

rickya Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 those 20" will weigh 3 tons each too making Sarnie the slowest in the village The weight would be one of your bigget drawbacks to these wheels, especially on 20's. But if its purely looks your after they look superb especially with yellow! IMO I would go for 19's, of a lightweight design, which would cost more money but worth it to keep the cars unsprung weight down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 well Ruff are american after all. Just a simple google search mate. they haven't even got a website! (Ruff Racing that is).

Digsy Posted September 17, 2006 Share Posted September 17, 2006 Val, our American fool was posting about his SSR GT3's not Ruff wheels. Quoted from his post: I too own a 2003 G35 coupe 6MT. I have 19" SSR GT3 wheel on Dunlop tires. Here's the deal: If you live in a pot hole ridden area DO NOT get these wheels! I've replaced FOUR front wheels.

Actually having done a bit of digging around recently, plenty of alloys have a stainless steel lip. I suspect this is why our American friend's rusted.
