embrace Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) My rays are pretty badly kurbed (previous owner obviously couldnt park) and ive been quoted about £300 for a good repair and respray job. So i thought if I just sold them on ebay for £200 its almost as effective to buy a brand new set, when you take into consideration of getting 4 new tyres included. ebay link what do you think of the above, apparently perfect fitment for 350/370 and comes complete with tyres 245's on front and 275s on back so should improve grip? look pretty mean on a black 350/370 i think thoughts?

KyleR Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Rims aren't too bad offsets, but the tyres are for 370z I believe, not great for 350z. Quote
LRF4N Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Looking at the link on my mobile I had to zoom in and squint my eyes to see the wheel design and even then still couldn't make them out That's why I don't like black wheels- spend a lot of hard earned but you can't even see them Just my opinion 1 Quote
embrace Posted January 29, 2014 Author Posted January 29, 2014 Rims aren't too bad offsets, but the tyres are for 370z I believe, not great for 350z. that the size/width or the tread? Quote
Marty-350 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 If your selling your rays I might be interested Quote
docwra Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Theyre cheap ......... but IMO they look it as well. Quote
Payco Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Better choices out there in my opinion. They look like Halfrauds specials to me. Rims can make or break a car so be careful to try and get it right. Its not an expense you want to go through twice. I took 6 months to decide, but then i think thats half the fun of creating a mod map and not just rushing into decisions. I would consider all the other mods you are planning (if you are) and think about the end result before choosing your rims.. Good Luck Payco Quote
pjf1985 Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 They do look nice but you get what you pay for in quality! I got some cheapish wheels for my last car and the chrome lips corroded very quickly, wish I would have waited and got a better set. Quote
StevoD Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 (edited) Personally 20" are too big for a 350z 18" for go 19" for show 20" for pimping ya bitches out in a white fur coat you dig no offence to anyone just my opinion Edited January 29, 2014 by StevoD 3 Quote
Jetpilot Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I guess i will sing the same old tune, if you have a budget of £1275 or near that, why dont you buy a 2nd hand set of something decent, Volks, Weds, Work, SSR, BBS, Enkeis etc etc, they will be better made, lighter (on the most part) and will still be worth good money if you ever decide to sell them. All of the above do similar styles to the wheels you linked Quote
KyleR Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Rims aren't too bad offsets, but the tyres are for 370z I believe, not great for 350z. that the size/width or the tread? Tyre sizes, yes.

All of the above do similar styles to the wheels you linked Surely there is no hope of getting a set of Volks with tyres for even close to that? Second hand Rota's with tyres, yes. Quote

JetSet Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 look pretty mean on a black 350/370 i think thoughts? Yes, really nice but those sort of rims will corrode quickly like this. Pete 1 Quote
pjf1985 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 The Zed can definitely pull off 20's but personally I'd go 18's or 19's for the cheaper tyres, and spend the extra on the rims. Those Konig's are amazing! Not to hijack the thread but how would chrome lips hold up if you were to get better quality wheels such as Konig, Volks etc? Quote
Jay Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 I originally had the chrome volk gts lips but after time they did fade and corrode slightly. That;s when I decided to powdercoat the lips chrome.......... best thing I ever did lol Quote
