MattG Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 ...with a twist as I got the bodyshop to repaint the centres gloss black. Specs: 19x8.5 ET15 front 19x10 ET20 Rear Thanks to Ben @ Rarerims for supplying these. They don't normally stock these but Ben agreed to bring 5 sets in as a favour when I begged him to sell me some. Top bloke! He even let me have input into the size and offset! The car has red brembos now which make the wheels look even better. Will get some updated pics up in a month or so when a few more bits have been done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattG Posted May 27, 2010 Author Share Posted May 27, 2010 Thanks for all the compliments guys, it's much appreciated! I'm really made up with how the car has turned out, just a few more finishing touches needed. thats one clean motor, wheres that rear badge from ? It's a Tommy Kaira "Z" badge: http://z1auto.com/prodmore.asp?model=35 ... rodid=4344 They're not easy to get hold of though. I got mine from Envy and I've since tried to get two more from Z-Store but they were due over a week and a half ago and now Gaz is ignoring my PMs. You might be better ordering from Adam at Z1 one if you want one, although last time I checked he didn't have any either.

Cheaper I would expect, BBS are usually quite expensive aren't they? Mine cost about £1500 with Falken FK452 tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheaper I would expect, BBS are usually quite expensive aren't they? Mine cost about £1500 with Falken FK452 tyres. WAY cheaper still forged though? No, just cast like the other Rotas / Linea Corse wheels. I was expecting the handling to take a turn for the worse coming from the 18" Rays but if anything it's actually better. A lot of that is probably to do with ditching the Dunlop SP9000 tyres that my Rays has fitted though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT4 Zed Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Yes only if they are way way lighter than the replacements for comparison and you have to have both wrapped in same rubber for a proper assessment. But its all about trade offs. Going for a heavier 19" or 20" wheel for example ( 3-5llbs heavier) but which allows fitting much wider tyres might make your handling better because of more mechanical grip despite the increase in unsprung weight You would have to probably get a wheel thats about 10lbs heavier to begin to face diminishing returns due to increase weight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
