gumpy000 Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Hi peeps. Right I needs some help! I'm really undecided. I want. I need new wheels. But what do I go for? As with a previous thread u lot helped a bit. But still undecided and lack of knowledge with wheels I do need advice. So my zed is a Daily driven car. I drive to work. But I also love my car and would love to take to shows. To become a head Turner but not to ruin the drive. I like the following wheels. Pretty set on style. Very rare on zeds that I can find but is the reason for that the wheels just don't look right. I'd like aggressive look but understand bigger the better. These come in 18s. If I had these and lowered using Teins. Would this look good. Finally chrome or standard alloy? Thanks in advance. 1 Quote
Grundy Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 It's all personal preference. There nice wheels. Not many running those yet. #teamtarmac Quote
GMballistic Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 "would this look good?" Honestly can't answer that for you gumpy I'm afraid. It really is subjective. Personally I think they look like a good design, ....would I put them on my Zed well no I wouldn't but then I'm running Rota Grids which for some people are just far too common & not too their tastes. If you like them then go for it and be different I'd say. 1 Quote

370Ad Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Think you would need a strong offset with that design! Quote
Bobby D Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 If you like them, go for it! Chrome wheels are the way forward Quote
gumpy000 Posted February 6, 2015 Author Posted February 6, 2015 The trouble is I love these wheels. (Design) but max size is 18s and offset apparently not big? Quote
gumpy000 Posted February 6, 2015 Author Posted February 6, 2015 I want to keep with 18s. But I want it to look fairly aggressive. Quote
370Ad Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 The trouble is I love these wheels. (Design) but max size is 18s and offset apparently not big? If the offset isn't big you will need to run spacers to clear the brakes. Not a problem if you don't mind that, just a heads up Quote
gumpy000 Posted February 7, 2015 Author Posted February 7, 2015 No I get that. I do have spacers at present. I run 20mm front and 25mm rear! will I be pleased I guess. I can be very easily pleased but also if I regret a buy it would do my head in. I have come to the conclusion I want 18s but need to lower as well as spacers. Do I go teins or eibach? eibach be too low? Quote
Mopedmark Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 They look nice but 19 s would be better but it's all your choice mate your money etc Quote
docwra Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 I cant say I like em myself, but chrome is a nightmare on wheels and ideally you want to go with 19's Any idea what they are called? Quote
pjf1985 Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) The 3SDM 0.06 are similar in style without the lip. A member on here was selling a set, forget his name. Edited February 7, 2015 by pjf1985 1 Quote
gumpy000 Posted February 7, 2015 Author Posted February 7, 2015 Well remember then!! That's no good. That was like showing a baby a toy then taking it off him!! Lol. Let's hope that persons says so!! 1 Quote
zippypooz Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Go for LMGT's!!!! Do ittttttttttt!! Or if you cant find any, go for the Rota copies!! Quote
Bodyboarder81 Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Go for LMGT's!!!! Do ittttttttttt!! Or if you cant find any, go for the Rota copies!! Which come in better offsets for the zed anyway 1 Quote
gumpy000 Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 Na they are everywhere. At least the copies are. I wanna be different. I want an awesome look but also different. What's the point in spending that much to look like everyone else. Quote
LRF4N Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 If you want a set of 3SDMs speak to CS. I ordered mine for my skyline through him Quote
gumpy000 Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) Well luckily for me i got a chance to see some. I had them put up against my car. What do u think? Obviously hard to say until on but these and lowered I think could be good!?! Edited February 11, 2015 by gumpy000 1 Quote

Very usa 1 Quote

Obviously hard to say until on but these and lowered I think could be good!?! I likey! They look good, I'd make sure they fit properly first though as they look like there may be issues with Brembo clearance as they are concaved, might be fine but best to check. Quote
LRF4N Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Fast car magazine's zed with the 0.06s. More pics here http://www.timeattack.co.uk/bagged-time-attack-fast-car-350-comes/ Edited February 12, 2015 by LRF4N 1 Quote
