Adam@Z1auto.com Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 That's right - ready to go!!!!!! And damn are they sexy We have these in Silver, Matte Black and Gold, in 19 X 9.5 +24, R disk up front, and 19 X 11.0 +22 A disk out back!!!! Some things to note: 1. No these are not cheap If you are looking for inexpensive wheels, these are not for you. However, they are very fairly priced, and they are available now. And, it's a setup not everyone has !!! 2. Yes these clear big brakes 3. No, there is no center cap offered, sorry 4. we can ship tires seperately to you if needed, but not mounted and balanced, sorry (too hard to package them) We didn't snap pics of the matte black, but just picture the above, in, well, matte black, and you get the idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chesterfield Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Nah - choptop already has them, and Im about to get a kerbed alloy repaired. The missus needs to prove she isnt going to kerb any more before sticking anything like that on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_350z Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 What about the centre cap - what goes there, then? Sorry for dumb question Don't say "a centre cap" Where do you get them from, do you need specific size, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Not a fan of them at all I'm afraid. The spokes look really short and stubby and it looks like they have two lips. In my opinion there are dozens of nicer wheels than these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion there are dozens of nicer wheels than these You are of course open to your own oppinion. I luv 'em personally. They are the real deal. proper split rims. Also, the double lip as you put it also has the benefit of making the centres smaller. This stops the brakes looking tiny as most 19's and also saves weight. Did I also mention that these are forged centre and rims, unlike Rays which are just forged centres I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 They have a very retro look which has a rather "marmite" effect - love 'em or hate 'em. I have to say in the boxes I really wouldn't have given them a second glance but having seen Kev's UY in the flesh I really liked them. The gold ones look sh1t though.

To me thats not a benefit, its a disadvantage I prefer my longer spokes allowing more of the discs and calipers to be viewed, especially when I get a proper blinging brake kit on my zed soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This look just isn't attractive. Reminds me of a Corsa with big alloys... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 The big brake kit on the GM car in the link I posted looks excellent behind the wheels. The disk fills the rim perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beavis Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 How much are these wheels Adam and shipping please to the UK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam@Z1auto.com Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 The stepped lip on these not only makes the wheel stronger, but also shows its a proper multipiece wheel - its a very upscale look, similar to what you would find on the higher end European wheels for the Porsches, Ferraris, etc from firms like DP Motorsports. I love these wheels because they give a bit of a retro look, and they are a proper wheel fitting of a sports car The Gold wheels are now SOLD!!! Silver and matte black still available These look just as much at home with stock Brembos as they do with a big brake kit as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
