S1 HNK Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 Fitted them a few days back but wanted to wait for a bit of sun to get the car cleaned up and take some pics. Not your traditional volks but I've always loved the simple style and to me they have a similar look to the OEM Rays which I think is a good thing. I did spend a lot of time deciding what wheels to go for, had a set of Nismos on my last Zed and the diamond cut lip was just a nightmare to live with so decided to go with something different and without a polished lip. These came up at a bargain price, pretty much brand new and although the offsets aren't quite as agressive as I would have wanted they look pretty good and maybe a set of 10mm spacers will just make them perfect. So they are Volk Progressive TE's. Fronts 19 x 8.5 ET 22 Rears 19 x 9.5 ET25. Tyres Toyo T1-R 245 35 19 / 275 35 19. The car is on Eibach springs. I love the dish on the rear which are classed as "Face 2" where as the fronts are "Face 1" which have no dish which is a shame but I quite like the different look of the front and rears together.

roadtrip Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 Very nice. I saw a set just the same on eBay not so long ago and was very tempted, if they fronts had been just as concave as the rears then I think I would have gone for them. Looking at yours now I'm thinking maybe I should have got them anyway, they really look fantastic. Quote
manphibian Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 The style of those is amazing, look great! I can't help feeling they would be so much nicer without those bizarre sticking up stamped tabs between the spokes Quote
LRF4N Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 Nice wheels. Not seen them before They would go perfectly on the skyline I'm looking for chunky 6 spokes. Too scared to ask how much they were CS when are replicas of these coming out Quote
AK350Z Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 The style of those is amazing, look great! I can't help feeling they would be so much nicer without those bizarre sticking up stamped tabs between the spokes I thought that too. Otherwise very nice. Quote
jollyranchers Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 Very nice ! Man I soooo need some led rear lights in my life ! Quote
MattyV6 Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 Very nice!! Not seen those before and they look really nice on there Quote
Ruddles Posted October 6, 2012 Posted October 6, 2012 I'll be the first one to say not my cup of tea, but good on you for picking something different to the norm! Quote
S1 HNK Posted October 6, 2012 Author Posted October 6, 2012 Cheers for the feedback guys. Yeah the tabs on the wheels are an odd design feature and i agree they would look cleaner without them but I do think the overall style suits the Zed well. Also went for some neo-chrome nuts as you can see in the close up pic You reckon I should go for 10mm spacers? I was hoping I wouldn't need to but I think it would really get the stance spot on Quote
