glrnet Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Those wheels are hideous, sorry mate, just my opinion of course. If you like them though, who cares what anyone else thinks... Although we'll have to look at them, not you! I'm going to go have a look tomorrow and then pick them up friday if im happy and get them refurbed and then ill put some pictures up for you all to laugh at And sod the lot of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoogyRev Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 powder coated in the right colour on the right colour car they could look good +1 They might look good if done in the right way.

Jay Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Just wanted peoples opinions on these wheels... I have to say... if you lower your 350z within a bawhair from the ground with a bit of stretch on the tyres, possibly a subtle kit........ then it MAY look good. But good on you for being different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ph 7 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I'm genuinely excited to see what these look like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But good on you for being different I believe it will take a few takes to get the wheels how i picture but due to budget ive ordered some tein springs off OCTET, a small drop for now, maybe coilovers in the future, the tyres im going to take off my current wheels so they wont be strech but will be looking for that look in the future. I need some spacers as the offset is 38 if anyone has any laying around im interested, nuts and bolts also. But fingers crossed i will get there in the end Little question will i need extended bolts with a 20mm spacer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think so aslong as its hubcentric spacers, but others will prob know better than me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 20mm hubcentrics will come with longer bolts anyway What are the specs then, are they ET38 all round? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docwra Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 So you are putting on narrower than the Rays wheels then? Not my first choice TBH, they are probably heavier than the Rays as well. Anyhoo, to make a 8J fit like it should you would need 35mm spacers on the front and 50mm on the back ............ to get to standard Rays fitment Id suggest 10mm on the front and 15mm on the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See the line "fit like it should" ......... that would give the equivalent of a 9J ET15 front and a 10J ET15 rear which looks kinda like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
