davedutch Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 I've seen wolfrace assasin wheels in gun metal which I think will look good against my zed once its wrapped in Hexis bronze grey next month. Are wolfrace wheels any good and has anyone any views on speedy wheels? Again, i know it's my choice and budget affects the options i.e. i get what i pay for but i don't want inferior wheels, if i don't change my oem wheels i will get them painted but been quoted £250 for that and wheels are less than £600 Appreciate some views.

Jetpilot Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Shocking wheels if you ask me, but if your on a budget and you like the style, what does it matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sempiternal Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) just googled them, they look nice i noticed most people go for rays grids volks on theirs, typical higher price wheels, 20 inch rims for less than 800 found here ! http://www.wheelbase...CFe7HtAodK2gAGQ Edited October 18, 2013 by Sempiternal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bems Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Not for me but if you like them.... Your car will no doubt be unique with them on though as I don't think anyone else would have done it yet in a zed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 If you like them get them, if we listened to SMD we'd all be Jaaaaaaaaaaags and if you listened to me everything would be silver and blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davedutch Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 Ok so my choice of wheel style is far from universally liked and I am taking them all in, but what about wolfrace as a company, if they are equally badly thought of I may have to put off until new year. Budget is tight cos i have already booked for wrap and a few other bits at £1500 and now need clutch at £1k from CS but keen to improve on oem wheels asap.

Personally for me a wheel makes or breaks the whole look of a car. Get it wrapped and put something nasty on and the money spent on the wrap goes out the window. I would be getting wheels before a wrap Wolfrace = chavved up Saxo/106 and very Max Power as a company! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spursmaddave Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Certainly not a wheel for the zed. Maybe an Astra or Audi. Why would they suit a £20k Audi or Vauxhall and not a £5k Zed I think there will be more and more chavvy Zeds about, just have to get used to the fact Sent from the Jaaaaaag at the golf club YAAAARRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sempiternal Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) Ok so my choice of wheel style is far from universally liked What your find is every car club has its own .... hmm best described as vibe.. TBH this forum is one of the most easy going forums you can belong to.. honda forum - you touch the cosmetic look in anyway thats not OEM. your car will be called haddock GTR forum,, following a thread and links to a GTR forum a guy here bought one and has probably landed himself in one of the most snootiest forums i have ever seen. FEOC - laid back but you need a ford (my past life) SxOC - actually very warm they allowed me back when Hond's ITR forum proved itself to a total "tnuc" this forum - very friendly and as someone said above Jetpilot why spend a ton of money and then short change on the rims! lol if this was the Honda forum they would of verbally annihilated you damn OEM nut jobs!

For some reason the zed seems to suit deep dish or uber concave the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexx Posted October 19, 2013 Share Posted October 19, 2013 Wheels are a very individual thing. If you like them, you get them. I had Dotz Hanzos on my 350. Everyone hated them when I posted up a link. But once fitted, they got a lot of positive comments as they suited what I had done to the Zed with the Amuse nose. However - check offsets are correct and you won't need huge spacers. And as for Wolfrace quality - I see a lot of badly corroded sets around. But then badly corroded OEM wheels are common too.
