JetSet Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Looking to replace the wheels on Caroline's roadster,.The 20" Axis Penta's on there at the moment are in a bad way with both severe corrosion and kerbing. Complete refurb will cost at least £200 per wheel, more than I paid for them with 4 new budget tyres. Looking to spend about a grand for 20" wheels or, might stretch to £1,500 for 19" with fitted falkens. Caroline likes these, but any suggestions are welcome. Car is Twilight Grey roadster 08 plate. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-x-20-WIDER-REAR-Lenso-ES7-Alloy-Wheels-Only-1360431587-113-/400410451938?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&fits=Model%3A350+Z&hash=item5d3a529fe2 Thanks, Pete Car with current Penta's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 In the process of fitting 19s to mine... Plenty will say they don't like the wheels you have linked above but at the end of the day it's what you and Caroline like that matters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no great rush really, but would expect to have something sorted out by Wales .

S1 HNK Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Just sold my volks. They would have looked great on your roadster!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 How about a nice set of Varrstoen ES2's ? Running an offer on those at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Don't buy more ebay tat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 Don't buy more ebay tat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! . Yeah, I did get the Penta's off E-Bay a couple of years ago, second hand mind you from a private seller. I'm very open to suggestions but obviously have to run it past Caroline first. If nothing turns up I'll put the rays back on and have the Penta's refurbed or possibly painted. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Linked wheels aren't to my personal taste, but besides that, it really winds me up when listing for wheels don't give important information on them, like the damned widths, wider rears means nothing to anyone. Are they 8/9", 9/10"? It makes a big difference especially with not so great offsets like those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveM Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 There's a set of wheels on eBay that look quite nice... 20s Item 321090249134 Not sure on the offsets mind you but.... If you search google for the whhel name he lists there are a few Zs there with them on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveM Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 No probs Pete as they are listed for a 370 the fronts may require spacers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted March 18, 2013 Author Share Posted March 18, 2013 Got 20mm spacers all round at the moment so shouldn't be a problem . Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Get some Volk Gts on the 350z....... one of the best wheels for it imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 All i would say is dont buy cheap tat that ends up worthless. Buy some decent wheels that hold their value and are always desirable if you ever decide to sell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
