jayrishi Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Looking at changing the forge rims for something abit more that stands out. I have an 52plate uk with brembo brakes currently looking at these rims, will they fit or will i need spacers? if so what spacers and from where?? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/18-034-ALLOY-WHEELS-FITS-NISSAN-200SX-S14-S15-350Z-370Z-300ZX-SKYLINE-GTS-GTT-GTR-/400805756599?&_trksid=p2056016.m2518.l4276 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newkid Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Not with brembo brakes they wont. Will need spacers, heard eibach are very good and im pretty sure tarmacsportz has spacers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MITZ@CougarStore Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 15mm/20mm spacer will help with the fitment, we do the Eibach spacers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newkid Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 15mm/20mm spacer will help with the fitment, we do the Eibach spacers... There ya go, 20mm eibachs for the win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 It even says in the advert caution brembos. Also, just ask why some brand new wheels are going for £400? They're going to be pretty rubbish. £500 could get you some pretty decent second hand wheels that fit and won't be made of cheese. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I have these wheels and running with 20/25 spacers for over 2 years with no problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjf1985 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) I bought Cruize wheels for my FN2 and the quality was terrible. They looked all nice and shiny when I first got them and they looked great on my car. Then after a few months the lips started to corrode. After a year every wheel had corrosion and it looked awful. These particular wheels might be better considering they have matt black lips instead of "chrome" but I wouldn't take the risk again.

jayrishi Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 Thanks guys might just leave these and stop paint orginal forge rims gloss black. Anyone got a guide on painting rims??? Also where's the best place to buy spacers? And are they easy to fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 spacers are dead easy to fit will take 10 mins a hub As for painting, I got a deck of cheap cards and shoved them between the lip and the tyre to spray so I didn't have to take the tyres off. If you youtube mighty car mods, they have a great video on how to do it at home Edit: found it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And do you just then apply primer/paint/gloss finish?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
