Ybbew Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Hey guys, been looking at wheels and stumbled across these ... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/18-CRUIZE-STEALTH-ALLOY-WHEELS-FITS-MAZDA-RX8-/300941074445?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item46117c600 Anyone seen or heard anything about these? Also I believe I will need spacers for them to fit over my brembos? I've just ordered some in the group buy anyway. Also could someone advice me on what tyres to fit to them? If someone doesn't advice these wheels could anyone recommend me some of a similar style? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Can't say too much on the wheels, but never really a fan of the cheap brands on ebay, If you're on a budget, check out these - Similar design and a good quality/brand too http://www.tarmacsportz.co.uk/GB/Japan_Racing_JR10_18_Inch_Wheels_/JR10-18.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ybbew Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) Ah nice one, yeah I've always been sceptical of ebay specials too, Ill have a nosey around tarma a website Edited July 8, 2015 by Ybbew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Japan Racing Wheels getting pretty popular these days, with great price tags too. Don't let me put you off the eBay wheels, but it's sometimes nice to buy something from a main dealer, that way you have a POC if anything goes wrong.

Ybbew Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 Is 8.5 and 9.5 the sizes people usually go for? I'm sure any normal tyre place will be able to advice on size for the zed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scobie140 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Personally wouldn't touch cheapo ebay wheels as they tend to be soft as sh@t Not had any experience with that brand but would reccomend sticking to a proper dealer like tarmac or rare rims. I'm by no means a wheel expert but just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 There's a set of jr10's on driftworks at the moment for 450. I think they were 9.5 fronts and 10.5 rears with low offsets Buy them before I do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Japan racing wheels are getting popular now and a few of drift guys are giving them some @*!# with no worrying reports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ybbew Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 What are good ETs to go for? Sorry as I said, I have no idea on wheels haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) What are good ETs to go for? Sorry as I said, I have no idea on wheels haha hard to say as it depends on the design of the wheel as to if they will clear the brakes also what kinda of look you want if you want something 'stance' like below your looking at around et20 9.5j front and 10.5j rear Edited July 8, 2015 by StevoD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
