ben@RARE RIMS Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 What styles would you like to see? Anybody got any urges? We're always looking for new ideas. We have had the same sort of thread up here: http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=475500 and here: http://www.civiclife.net/board/index.ph ... direction/ The idea is the same... if anybody can come up with something new and exciting, they'll win themselves a free set Cheers!

ben@RARE RIMS Posted January 20, 2011 Author Posted January 20, 2011 I thought this also might be of interest: That's the first of 4 pallets of wheels leaving here today. Today is a normal day. If you look closely in that picture in the backgroud you can see a black Vauxhall van, that's parked outside one of our warehouses. The Forklift is coming from our main warehouse, and the building just in front of the van is also ours. We stock a lot of wheels, and this is how we have the buying power and clout to get new designs made. We're always looking for new ideas, and have the balls to actually stock offsets and sizes that look good, and fit well, rather than just boring safe stuff. Where else will you find 18x12 ET0 on the shelf? 15x8 ET0? I could go on, but you'll get bored Decent fitments are what we do, but without your feedback, we wont know to get new things in. Give us inspiration, and you'll see brand new and original ideas Quote
mattbowey Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 ok this is probably pretty cheeky seen as this is a wheel already being made by someone else... but, they do not do them in the right sizes or offsets that would suit the zed, so... oh yeah, the other reason its pretty cheeky to suggest them, i dont even have a zed at the moment Quote
ben@RARE RIMS Posted January 20, 2011 Author Posted January 20, 2011 You honestly like that? Maybe on a Focus, but on a Z? I think that'd be a niche too far Also, original ideas would appear to be the way forwards Quote
ben@RARE RIMS Posted January 20, 2011 Author Posted January 20, 2011 Does too I guess maybe you have to be registered or something Quote
M13KYF Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 Does too I guess maybe you have to be registered or something may be, getting this An Error Occurred Sorry, an error occurred.

I think that'd be a niche too far Also, original ideas would appear to be the way forwards i do like them, and if no one else did that would make them unique to me the company who make them wont do them in the right sizes though as i dont even have a zed atm i guess doing with out will be pretty easy Quote
ben@RARE RIMS Posted January 20, 2011 Author Posted January 20, 2011 Haha yeah, I think you'll be in a serious minority with those mate Quote
chippychip123 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 How about GTR D's in a 19 x 12 me thinks you would sell afew as they would look pretty cool on the Z, and also having them in other finishes other than flat black would be quite nice Cheers Tom Quote
ben@RARE RIMS Posted January 20, 2011 Author Posted January 20, 2011 They come in lots of finishes, they're just not on the website yet as I am making a new website, which they are on. They come in Red / Blue / Bronze / Gunmetal and a few more 19s... yes, we need more. You reckon the 12s would be popular? Quote
chippychip123 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 For people wanting the wide stance look, I reckon they would look very cool. There dosent seem to be many deep dish wheels in a 19" without needing a mortgage to buy them . Have you had anyone yet try and fit the 18x12 on the 350z? Quote
ben@RARE RIMS Posted January 20, 2011 Author Posted January 20, 2011 Yep... just waiting for some decent pictures Quote
Husky Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 ok this is probably pretty cheeky seen as this is a wheel already being made by someone else... but, they do not do them in the right sizes or offsets that would suit the zed, so... oh yeah, the other reason its pretty cheeky to suggest them, i dont even have a zed at the moment you cannot get these formt he manufacturer in the sizes needed for the zed. they are designed as fwd or 4wd variants only Quote
ben@RARE RIMS Posted January 20, 2011 Author Posted January 20, 2011 you cannot get these formt he manufacturer in the sizes needed for the zed. they are designed as fwd or 4wd variants only Probably for the best really Quote
Husky Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 you cannot get these formt he manufacturer in the sizes needed for the zed. they are designed as fwd or 4wd variants only Probably for the best really not my taste but i know some people that would kill for them in zed sizes. Sadly there is absolutely no way of getting them put into manufacture. Quote
ben@RARE RIMS Posted January 20, 2011 Author Posted January 20, 2011 Hmmm, really? Something in that style is entirely possible, I had just not invisaged a big demand for it! If I can get 10 people who want them, they can each choose a colour, I can order some up I guess. Normal 19x8.5 ET15 and 19x10 ET20 type sizing? Quote

Normal 19x8.5 ET15 and 19x10 ET20 type sizing? nope, I have talked with the CEO of five axis and they only make them in fwd and 4wd fitments and don't intend to make RWD variants Quote
ben@RARE RIMS Posted January 20, 2011 Author Posted January 20, 2011 Odd. Well, I am sure Rota must make something along those lines, they make so many random wheels we dont stock or list. I'll try and get some details and post them up Quote

I'll try and get some details and post them up I hope so, there seems to be a demand for them so would be a good call if they did Quote

I like them too. I think they would look great on a sunset zed . Not that I can afford anything over £20 at the mo Quote
350 Russ Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 i think something of this style would look cool , obviously these are bike wheels but i think they would really suit the zed Quote
ben@RARE RIMS Posted January 20, 2011 Author Posted January 20, 2011 I think the tiny/thin spokes with big gaps wouldn't sit too well, they'd need to be beefed up a little... If you wanted to photoshop some ideas though, it'd be easier to tell Quote
Cragus Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 I think you should be looking into stocking weds wheels mates! They have a lovely few wheels going these days. Quote

If you wanted to photoshop some ideas though, it'd be easier to tell i tried but my photoshop skills arent up to it. maybe someone else would be able to Quote
