Mathys Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 I decided to upgrade my 18" Rays to 19" Volk Racing GTS rims. I'm keeping the 18's for the winter, just fitted some Dunlop Wintersport M3 on them in stock sizes. First I looked around a bit on my350z and eventually Status Auto Design was the cheapest for me. They could also supply the wheels with tyres and balance them. So I got GTS 19X9.5 +17 in front with Goodyear F1 GSD3 255/35/19 GTS 19X10.5 +18 in rear with Goodyear F1 GSD3 275/35/19 The ride comfort is as good or better like the standard setup. The goodyears are really nice tyres, not as hard as the Bridgestones. The fitter from the wintertyres required an extra person to get them off the rays! Got some pictures, not really high quality. At least you get an idea how it looks.... Quote
lomoto Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 Love the polished rim look makes the Nismo wheels look boring Quote

H5 Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 Very nice, I like! Nice and bling!! Are you missing the centre caps on them?? Quote
monkfish Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 They're pretty sweet Jeez that's lotta rubber!! Quote
Mathys Posted September 19, 2006 Author Posted September 19, 2006 Thanks for all the positive words! These wheels cost me including shipment/tyres/balancing 4500$, add some customs and you won't make it with 5000$...... Ah well, you only live once Quote
H5 Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 Have you got a close up shot of the centre, I'm confoosed!! Quote
Liam's Z Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 What's confusing most Volk wheels look like that, it's the way there cut Wait till you see my babies if I buy rubber for them Quote

Pm your email address if u like and I can send some more to make it clear that I do have centre caps lol - I can see them, just wanting a close up to see if those type of wheels would be an option. Have you got a Photobucket account? No need to worry about size limits then. Quote
Mathys Posted September 21, 2006 Author Posted September 21, 2006 Ok, here you go: http://s99.photobucket.com/albums/l305/mattemathijs/350Z/ As you can see, the clearance for the front brembo's is like 8mm Edit: Hope the link works like this or should I link every single picture seperately? Quote
Removed Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 nice wheels but wrong section (mind you this is one of the rare occasions where you could be undecided if to post in styling or performance forums, unless you bought some Ruff wheels ) moved to performance as these are nice forged wheels Quote
