friddela Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 I have been browsing wheels for a while now and still haven't decided which ones I am going to get. I was about to order the Silver Rota GTR's but haven't done as of yet. I stumbled across these: http://www.neweraparts.com/Default.aspx ... ductID=402 I have an Azure Zed and think gunmetal looks good on them having seen this picture: You can buy 18x9.5 +20 which from what I've read means I won't need spacers, is that correct? It will clear the brembo's? Quote
Wasso Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 What are the wheels in the pic, as they are my cup of tea - also a Azure owner and they look WICKED! Quote
friddela Posted June 21, 2010 Author Posted June 21, 2010 Says in the topic and have posted a link to where they sell them . They are the "Work Cr Kai's" for reference. Quote
Jak Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 These are one of my favourite wheels - would love a set on mine too! Quote

friddela Posted June 21, 2010 Author Posted June 21, 2010 Think I will go for them. Can someone just confirm my train of thought with regards to the offsets and the need for spacers? Quote
Walbertonio Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 They look great - sorry, can't help with that stuff though, I really need to learn it at some point. Quote
ATTAK Z Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 18 x 9.5 +20 rears without spacers would be visually equivalent to standard Rays with 26 mm spacers 18 x 9.5 +20 fronts without spacers would be visually equivalent to standard Rays with 29 mm spacers Quote
friddela Posted June 21, 2010 Author Posted June 21, 2010 Haven't got Rays at the minute so can't say it means much to me. Would this look good/bad? Would you go for different offsets? You can get +12, +20, +30 and +38. Quote
H5 Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 For a flush looking wheel fit you are generally looking at high 'teens or low twenties for your offsets. From that list, 20 would be the one I'd go for.... Quote
Ian Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 +20 will be fine, +12 for proper flush, +12& spacers for hella flush Quote
ATTAK Z Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 18 x 9.5 +30 fronts without spacers would be visually equivalent to standard Rays with 20 mm spacers 18 x 9.5 +20 rears without spacers would be visually equivalent to standard Rays with 26 mm spacers this would give you the 'ideal stance' in the opinion of most members here .... but be careful with tyres so you don't upset the lsd and check for rubbing on suspension for the fronts (see Husky's thread as his fronts width and offset are as above albeit 19") maybe better to put a small spacer in the fronts Quote
Digsy Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 Great wheels and I agree the +20 is probably the best bet. When I looked at these a few years back you couldn't get a centre cap for them. It may have changed now but if its the sort of thing that bothers you its worth checking. Quote
BulletMagnet Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 Personally, I'd go for 19"s. For what you are gonna be spending already on a decent set of wheels, it's worth going the extra mile for a bigger visual impact. Quote
captain Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 These are an alternative for about £750: Rota Torque Drift. Quote
Lincolnbaggie Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 Isn't the Zed supposed to have a staggered fitment - rears wider than the fronts? Quote
ATTAK Z Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 Isn't the Zed supposed to have a staggered fitment - rears wider than the fronts?You are quite right Neil ... that's why I suggested that the OP needs to be carefull with tyre spec in order to maintain near standard rolling radius and no lsd issues Quote
captain Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 The Rotas above aren't staggered - but the tyres need to be. Quote
H5 Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 +20 will be fine, +12 for proper flush, +12& spacers for hella flush Aaah, so hella flush is ghetto for 'looks like a roller skate'!!! Quote
BulletMagnet Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 +20 will be fine, +12 for proper flush, +12& spacers for hella flush Aaah, so hella flush is ghetto for 'looks like a roller skate'!!! Like this? Quote
Ian Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 Isn't the Zed supposed to have a staggered fitment - rears wider than the fronts? Tyres yes wheels no +20 will be fine, +12 for proper flush, +12& spacers for hella flush Aaah, so hella flush is ghetto for 'looks like a roller skate'!!! Is flush an English term for wheels hidden in the arches Quote
friddela Posted June 22, 2010 Author Posted June 22, 2010 Could I not go for 18x8.5's for the fronts or are they too thin? Quote
