matty316 Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 Was thinking about getting some black alloys as a treat for doing sh*t loads of overtime this month. Any suggestions? what size? offset? Thanks guys Quote
maz0 Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 I've been eyeing up a set of these, http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=107&t=33920 Very affordable price and lovely wheels that suit the Zed IMO. Quote
quicksilver Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 I love the coloured lip on those but it's definately a marmite lip Quote
Ian Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 Erm, I can't think of anything that cheap Good luck Quote
Cragus Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 Cant really think of anything in that price range - maybe a set of the OEM Rays if you like those. Have you allowed extra money for tyres too? Quote
Woody Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 Am thinking £650 max Set of used Rays = £400 odd, referb gloss black = £200 odd other than that you will have to put somemore over time in to get some decent wheels Im afraid Quote

matty316 Posted April 8, 2010 Author Posted April 8, 2010 Yeah been looking around and looks like i'll have to save up a bit more, no rush. So what size? stick with 18's or go higher? I can't make my mind up with the black alloys with the red lip. Quote
matty316 Posted April 8, 2010 Author Posted April 8, 2010 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/18-BLACK-JADE-R-A ... 19baf70f39 What about these? Quote

I'd be careful with those. Don't know about the brand, but 1. the offsets are bad. You'll need spacers all round to clear your calipers and I'm not sure how that'll look with those wheels. 2. These are not staggered widths. Others can explain better than me, but getting wider rears is the way to go. Also, remember that for any wheels you get, you'll need tyres + fitting + delivery, etc. Some traders on here could do you a decent all inc. package. Quote
rawbhp Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 I may have a set of Rays in satin black for sale soon, if I can find the 19s I want. They are in mint condition. Quote
Cheesypuff Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 How about some Dotz GTR? I've been looking at them as I wanted some cheap wheels in OEM size/fitment. The 18's are way inside your budget and as they are exact same fitment as your OEM 6 spokes you could use your existing tyres on them. True they arent going to fill the arches any more but if thats not important to you then it doesnt matter and you could always fit spacers at a later date if you wanted. The 19's have naff offsets I think so you would prob need spacers and new tyres which would put them over budget. Im sure there will be plenty who wouldnt consider them because of the brand and they wont meet everyones requirements when upgrading wheels but I think they're a nice looking wheel at a real budget price. Or as others have said; Used Rays or keep saving. Quote

They are similar but they have a polished lip, I think I prefer them to Rays probably just because nobody else has them and they are a lot cheaper than a set of new Rays, i would guess about the same price as a used set.

matty316 Posted April 9, 2010 Author Posted April 9, 2010 Thanks, i'll have a look now. Like i said there isn't a rush so if i have to save more cash then so be it. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 rarerims had a set of second hand Ace multispoke wheels in 19" format. for about £500 and in black. that includes tyres as well Quote
Pimm Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Am thinking £650 max Each corner, that should get you something Quote
Digsy Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Am thinking £650 max Yes, save some more. It will be hard to get anything of reasonable quality in that budget. Quote
matty316 Posted April 9, 2010 Author Posted April 9, 2010 I've just had a look at some savings i had and i can probably manage £950, so what is the best offset? Quote
