WhackyWill Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Do you think these will look good on a Zed ?.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/18-NEW-NISSAN-JUKE-WHEELS-ALSO-FIT-QASHQAI-GTR-350Z-370Z-PIMERA-X-TRAIL-/221284055395?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item33858eb963 Quote
Easty Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 I saw these the other day I think they would look sweet!!!! 1 Quote
AliveBoy Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Get them painted with the spokes one colour and that flat bit another, it could look awesome! Quote
KyleR Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Not a fan. No dish and no concave, so not for me. Anyone know what the offset and widths are on these? Quote
jonny the mod Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Whacky, seen these in the flesh and they look pretty nice. Totally agree with Dedman, get them sprayed on the flat areas of the spokes, they will look brill, plus you may get them cheap!!! Although ive 20" Rimmini wheels, which are deep dish units, so I have to agree with Kyle too !!! (Not much help am I). Jonny 1 Quote
Ekona Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Would need to see them in the flesh on a car, but my gut says no. Quote
richmillions Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 This needs photoshop, I'm not sure Quote
Daryl Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Would look awesome, but are the 350/70 wheels staggered width? These all look the same width. Quote
longsh07 Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 In the right colour on the right styled zed, yes but it wont be to everyone taste. Quote
Dblock Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 I personally think if your keeping 18" wheels go for the rays. Yeah the aren't the best looking but it will handle better. If they where 19" I'd say try them out. 1 Quote
Easty Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 What makes it handle better with Rays on? A few people said it makes a difference but I can't see how!! Quote
Dblock Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 I don't want to re open a can of worms so this is my opinion. You may not agree with it. I used to have 18" standard 6-7 spoke alloys. I still think they look better than the rays. Got some rays put them on and car was instantly more nimble. Same tyres etc the rays are much much lighter. Dropping the profile To 40's over 45's even makes a small difference. 2 Quote
ddcboyle Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Oh sexy, but must be black on any colour except silver Quote
nissan nutter Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Don't bother there only going to be around 7" wide all round defiantly not staggered so rubbish on tyre widths and off-set will be around 35 so not really any good Quote

Dropping the profile To 40's over 45's even makes a small difference. Rays are 4kg lighter, each. (I'm SURE I read that somewhere on here) Quote
Stutopia Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 I'd never really given wheel weight much thought, I've since learnt the error of my ways, but the bloke who refurbished them made a big song and dance about how much lighter they were than he'd expected. Must be a good thing. Quote

Must be a good thing. It's "unsprung weight" or something isn't it? Plus if they're lighter that's: - less weight to stop - less weight to get moving - easier to lift if your not a gym junkie - makes steering lighter as less weight on gearing -> more feedback as easier for road surface to "transmit though" (that's made up bull @*!# but there must be something to it) - quicker lock to lock -> nimble Saw a GT-R with Carbon Fibre Wheels at AutoSport at Birmingham earlier this year - looked smashing! I think Smoking Tire (americans) did a review on them too. 2 Quote
WhackyWill Posted September 17, 2013 Author Posted September 17, 2013 Take the air out and fill them with nitrogen, it will make them even lighter.. 1 Quote
Yampiedog Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 I think they would look good but the width would be their downfall. Quote
AliveBoy Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Take the air out and fill them with nitrogen, it will make them even lighter.. If you're going that far for lightening just fill them with helium! Quote
Dblock Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Take the air out and fill them with nitrogen, it will make them even lighter.. Not lighter, keeps pressure more stable and predictable. 1 Quote
LRF4N Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 If they were 19s and good widths I think they would look good. Yes they're not concave or deep dish but some people like a more subtle look without looking standard How wide are they? Quote
KyleR Posted September 17, 2013 Posted September 17, 2013 Take the air out and fill them with nitrogen, it will make them even lighter.. If you're going that far for lightening just fill them with helium! Or hydrogen, it's even lighter again. Wouldn't want to clip a kerb though! Quote

Lets go hydrogen inside the tyres (which are made of a red phosphorous and powdered glass mix inlaid into the tread for grip) mounted to a magnesium wheel. Explosive! 1 Quote

If you're going that far for lightening just fill them with helium! That would just be silly the last thing you want to do at night is go and strap the car down to stop it floating away lol 1 Quote
