Sarnie Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 They are Volk SF Challenge in 19 X 8.5 +21 and 19 X 9.5 +23 with Pirelli Assymetrics on the rear 285/35/19 and Pirelli Pzero Nero's 245/35/19 on the front. Picked up the tyre for £500. They are Diamond Black spokes which are limited edition (and extra cost) which is why they took so long as they are made to order. They cost £1877 from Chris at Funkystyling who was about £300 cheaper than every source i tried. Ordered on 12/03/07 and arrived today. Big thanks to him for putting up with me spamming his email inbox everyday with 'Are they here yet' type questions. Also a big thanks to Digsy for advice on the offsets, Lomoto for tyre advice and Jacko for his help today Suffice to say, I am in love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choptop Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Nice! They look cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev946 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Good choice Liam. Love 'em. Really suit the UY. Excellent choice of offset too. . These were one of my favourite wheels when I was looking. In the end I was succumb to the rarer Work Meisters... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zedrush Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I dont like them No they are awesome mate, cant wait to see your car in the flesh and steal it from you :teeth: Dont think you will get very far bro, the colour of Sarnies car makes it the slowest out of all the colours, weighed down by is brightness he could keep up with you within walking distance (except beavis's car ahem ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 I am now, (typically, i know) questioning the choice of lowering it. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev946 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I'd leave it standard.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 I'd leave it standard.. hmmmmm thats what i'm thinking. If you look at the front wheel arch, i think thats as far as i would want it to go, or am i mad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 The front looks perfect but the back is a bit high IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 The front looks perfect but the back is a bit high IMO. My thoughts exactly. would there be any issue in just fitting lowering springs to the rear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl114 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Leave it, i love the rear a bit higher! Proper american hot rod style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev946 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I'm not keen on the Tein's as they lower the fronts too far IMHO. 0.7 front and 0.6 rears. Do a search on my350z.com and you will see what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digsy Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Well I'm late to the party because I've been watching LIVERPOOL GET TO THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL but those rims are the second best thing I've seen all night (after Pepe Reina's penalty saves). I believe the technical term for such things is "sick"! Nice one, Sarnie, you must be delighted, mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beavis Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 They look awesome Sarnie, very nice choice.............this can only now lead to me parting with some pound notes, though i am looking for something different than yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Fantastic Liam. Im sure the arrival of these wheels was hyped more than many films They really do look good, sadly I would have to convince the boss that the GT4 rims dont cut it on an UY! Need a meet to show them off now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
