hensh65 Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Looking to get rid of my standard touring wheels and get something a bit better on the eye. I am only looking to spend around 400 500 quid. I would take 18†rims if they where the correct size to switch my tyres off my touring wheels. Would also take 19†with tyres which I doubt I would get at this price however would consider the rims only if they where half decent. Quote
370Ad Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 At that price Rays would definitely be your best buy. Anything other would be quite heavy unfortunately. Saying that you 'might' get some 18" Rota's for that price on eBay. Quote
370Ad Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 ET30 8.5J, similair to standard spec but not the best offset! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/18-Rota-Torque-Alloys-BARGAIN-/171089159455?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item27d5b5651f http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rota-Gt-r-Alloys-18-5x114-3-8-5j-Et30-Evo-subaru-honda-nissan-/330981077792?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item4d10027320 Quote

Nope would fit fine without spacers, would sit slightly better than your standard wheels as they are half an inch wider but wont give you a massive stance look without spacers. Quote

Sorry to ask hundreds of questions but if I was going to use the tyres I am running just now 225 45 28/245 45 18 If i got 18" rims what is the ideal size for them to match? and do they have to be staggered? Quote
370Ad Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Wheels don't have to be staggered aslong as the tyres are. To put into perspective your standard wheels are 8" wide all round with an offset of 30. Rays are 8" on the front ET30 and rears are 8.5" with ET33. The Rota Torque's above are 8.5" all round with an offset of 30. So the Rota's will sit 6mm further out each side of the wheel. Tyres will fit fine also Quote

LRF4N Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Got mine for not far off that back at you Thats because you are a cheap skate lol There's a difference between doing things on a tight budget and being a cheapskate Spent a fraction on the skyline compared to the zed and it still gets more attention Quote
