I think it depends on the specific tyre as to how stretched 245/35 and 275/35 would look but I expect they'll look fine regardless. I wouldn't have a problem running 255/35 with 285/35 either but you might be more limited on your tyre choices. If you're still on the fence then why not buy my awesomely concave 9" and 10" wide wheels then there's no problem.

A good price but looking at where the paint has lifted off the one wheel I would imagine the paint isn't great on any of them so would probably need refurbing. They need centre caps too although from what I've read some Juke ones fit which gives a good range of colours and probably not too expensive.

I can't really comment on that as mine were past the point when they should have been replaced when I bought the car. I only really drove the car with the DS2500 which I found to be a great pad. I've not found the the Hawk PC to be in any way inferior to the DS2500 for fast road use.

I've got them with OEM discs on the front of my 350Z and have found them really good. They don't squeal, work from cold, have good pedal feel and have not let me down during spirited driving on the road either. I had Ferodo DS2500 previously which were also excellent but with more dust and would squeal when reversing.

I think it looks like jables' old car: Twin turbo 350Z

Yeah, we all need tyres once in a while and even reasonable brands aren't silly money in these sizes. I think the price is fair as I've never seen a cheaper set of quality Japanese 19" wheels anywhere even taking into account the cost of a refurb! I've had loads of interest though so I'm sure it can only be a matter of time.

I've updated the original post with a price for Paisley Freight and also suggested a local refurb place that could provide the buyer with a drive in - drive out service.

Spotted these which look cheap although one looks slightly bent: nissan 350z alloy wheels and tyres

I'm not skilled in spotting Photoshopped images but you may well be right. Having said that I think lighter coloured wheels especially those with thin spokes that go right to the rim always look bigger than darker wheels.

Another borrowed photo to show how good silver/chrome looks on a black car.

Yes, still in my garage at the moment. PM me if you're interested.

Very interesting, especially as they're using the most common tyre sizes. Great comparison as well, I thought the difference would have been more significant, I imagine if the 19" combo were cheap heavy wheels and tyres then it would have been.

These look great on a lowered car, here's a good photo borrowed from another member which shows how well they sit:

I'd say no. 370Z Rays use flat seat nuts not the normal taper seat nuts that aftermarket wheels and 350Z Rays use.

My HR runs on a mixed diet of any super unleaded 97 or more, mainly Esso or Tesco for convenience but occasionally Sainsbury's or Shell. Never noticed any significant difference in performance or economy. Not sure if that's just because it's the HR though?

wide has some great photos of these wheels on his black Zed: Nissan 350 Z 3.5 V6 2dr If you want the look and already have the car you know what to do.

Mine did that the first day after I changed my front discs and pads. All good from day two onwards though.

Yeah, it's not a cheap thing to do but then which new 19" wheels can you get for £800 that fit without spacers and in a colour of your choice? Tyres can be had for less than £500 if you get Kumho KU39 which isn't so bad if you need new tyres anyway or have some decent wheels/tyres to sell on to someone else.

Here is the for sale thread from when I bought them with a few better photos of these actual wheels on some other cars: 5ZIGEN ZR+520 19" wheels

They do seem a bargain don't they, maybe I should be considering putting the price up!? I'm open to higher offers if someone is happy to pay more. Seriously though, I paid £1,050 for them including the tyres with 5mm three years ago. They have been up close and personal with kerbs far too often since then and the tyres have seen another 13.5k in that time. Any self respecting Zed owner will be wanting to refurb them and fit new tyres pretty much straight away. I have some other photos which show the condition a bit better which I'm happy to email to anyone who's seriously interested. I've had my fun with them so I'm happy to pass them on for a good price to a forum member who'll appreciate them.

At £600 with functional tyres they're so affordable, plus you get to choose the refurb colour when the time comes. It's a win-win. This is how they look on my Twilight Grey:

Thanks guys, they really do look great on the car and whilst a few other forum members have them they're still pretty rare. I had been considering painting them bronze and even bought some bronze FN01R-C centre caps from eBay US like the ones below to go with them. If the new owner wants these caps as well then I'll do you a good deal on them.

These are quality wheels manufactured in Japan by 5ZIGEN. Another forum member imported them new at a cost of about £1,600, I then bought them from him just over three years ago. I've also recently paid about £90 to import a new set of five centre caps from the manufacturer which are completely unused. The wheels are in HyperGunMetallic and the sizes are 19x9J ET20 on the front, 19x10J ET20 on the rear which is a perfect fit for a 350Z. I have seen them on a 370Z too, my guess would be that a change of front tyres to 245/40R19 and some new wheel nuts would be needed for that though and maybe a pair of 15mm rear spacers just for looks. As you can see from the photos below they are now in desperate need of a refurb as they have all been kerbed a fair bit and the paint has started to bubble up on the inside and on the back of the spokes. The tyres are also long past their best so I am including them for free, they all have between 2.5 and 4mm tread left but it's a little uneven due to some camber wear. I also noticed when I washed them today that both off side tyres have screws in them which I was unaware of as they haven't been losing pressure. They are the legendary Falken FK452 in the usual 245/35R19 front, 275/35R19 rear sizes. My asking price for all four wheels in their current condition including spigot rings, 19 (one went missing!) chrome wheel nuts and the new centre caps is just £600. Now only £540! At that price the new owner can refurb them in the colour of their choice and still only have paid about half the original new price which is also less than a new set of Rotas. I would prefer collection from Watford but I'm happy for you to arrange your own courier if that's easier. Paisley Freight are quoting £44.50 for shipping these. I've not used their service for about four years so don't know what they're like these days but they used to be quite good. I'm happy to pack them for safe transport if required. There's also a decent wheel refurb place near me in Hemel Hempstead that a few people have recommended so I'd be happy to drop them there if a buyer wanted to get them refurbed with new tyres as a drive in - drive out service. That way you can arrive in your Zed and leave in your Zed, all the work having been done for you. You can fit all four standard 17", 18" and 18" Rays in a 350Z as long as you have no passenger and some blankets or covers to protect your interior. Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

I looked at the fitter list it gave me and none of my local trusted fitters were on the list. Having had wheels damaged twice in the past I know what a painful experience it can be. These days I just save myself the aggravation and stick to the good ones if I care about the wheels.

I got a set of 19" MPSS last week from blackcircles.com as they were the second cheapest place I could find, tyreleader.co.uk would have saved me £19. This Asda deal has the front 245/35 at £157.94 which is £1.70 more than I paid but it includes fitting which mine didn't so it's a great deal if you trust their fitter. They don't seem to have 275/35 though unless you want BMW runflats.
