Ayyyyy! Welcome to the forum mate, you found me! I'm just glad they went to a good home, they look lovely mate, stella refurb there

Hi all sorry for the late post had a busy week! Thanks for organising @andy james I was 2nd to arrive next to @Cals_350z. Had a great morning chatting to some of you guys then spent most the day by the track or walking around. Was hoping to get chatting to more of you but by the time I got back late afternoon most had left haha. Some amazing looking zeds though great to see! This was the first show mine has been to in the 5.5 years I've owned it Loads more to do to mine just didn't have time to get it all fitted beforehand

Any advice on arch rolling? Cant find anyone that does it around South Wales, i know there is Arch Enemy but they wont come this far from what i've seen, or have to charge a lot due to travel which i understand. Contemplating giving it a go myself im just worried about cracking the paint, obv ill use a heat gun. Im not convinced on the quality of the rollers on Ebay or Amazon they have very mixed reviews. Anyone had any experience using any of those? Im wondering if i even need to roll them, over wavey/humpy roads at high speeds the wheel does rub/scrub, but im not sure if thats on the inside of the arch or the arch lip, cant see any tyre marks, but im also still on stock suspension so when i switch to the Teins (z street basis as im on a budget) i imagine the stiffness may stop that anyway?) any thoughts? cheers

Thank you! Im very happy with them! ...Yep, I've been looking high and low for someone local that does arch rolling, I'm in South Wales and the only place I can seem to find is Arch Enemy but they wont come this far.. well not without a big added cost anyway unless I had a group around here they might do a deal That's for another post in the near future though 😅

Welcome! Nice to see some peeps in here fairly local to me / my hometown. Originally Weston-s-Mare now in South Wales. Work in Bristol will keep an eye out for ya. Give me a shout if any meets come up. Enjoy your new Zed she looks lovely

PIC HEAVY... Wheels and tyres are on ! Bit of poke currently and rear arches need rolling, possibly pulling, and will be putting it on coilovers in very near future then get a good alignment job done, ...but I'm loving the look of it already Cosmis XT-006R - 18x9.5” ET10 (Front) Kumho Ecsta PS71 255/35 (15mm Direnza spacers to clear brembos on the front) - 18x11” ET8 (Rear) Kumho Ecsta PS91 285/35

Thanks for this mate haha perfect. Will do

Wow. Thanks for the info and experience advice that's great. That's some huge tyres man. What car you running them on? Have you got a super wide kit? Any thoughts about pros and cons going for a wider tyre on stock performance? You may have actually helped me lean even more towards the Kumhos now as they are a bit more "wallet friendly" and have great wet weather performance (apparently) haven't experienced them myself before but they are better rated than what I have been using on stock which are the Apollos (which I highly recommend for a budget tyre) Used 2 sets of 4 in last 4 years

SPAXY - Just seen your thread on looking for some new wheels, if you like the style of these cosmis im getting highly recommend checking out the other colours or the Cosmis 206Rs as well if you want multispoke They do loads of colours, including bronze and hyper bronze, as well as machined lip or machined spoke options couple links below for you (i havent filtered these down to vehicle or specs just for the photos but have a gander hope it helps https://www.fitmentindustries.com/buy-wheel-offset/XT206FF-1895-38-5x114+3-BHB2/cosmis-racing-xt-206r-ff-18x95-38 https://www.torqen.uk/wheels/cosmis/cosmis-xt006r/15924-cosmis-racing-xt-006r-black-with-machined-lip-20-x-95-10-offset-5x1143-bolt-pattern-731mm-hub-xt006r-2095-10-5x1143-bml.html https://www.torqen.uk/wheels/cosmis/cosmis-xt006r/15939-cosmis-racing-xt-006r-bronze-18-x-95-10-offset-5x1143-bolt-pattern-731mm-hub-xt006r-1895-10-5x1143-br.html https://www.torqen.uk/wheels/cosmis/cosmis-xt006r/15937-cosmis-racing-xt-006r-hyper-bronze-18-x-95-10-offset-5x1143-bolt-pattern-731mm-hub-xt006r-1895-10-5x1143-hbr.html https://www.torqen.uk/wheels/cosmis/cosmis-xt006r/15961-cosmis-racing-xt-006r-black-with-machined-spokes-18-x-11-8-offset-5x1143-bolt-pattern-731mm-hub-xt006r-1811-8-5x1143-bms.html https://www.torqen.uk/639-cosmis

Thanks mate, appreciate the advice

Ahh sorry Not 100% sure yet iI have a good tyre guy that will guide me though the best options, budget vs high end etc once I have chosen the sizes, but leaning towards either Kumho all round PS71s and PS91s Though I may push the boat out and go for Michelin Pilot Sport 4's on the fronts any reccomendations?

Thanks! Will do

Thats good to hear. I have checked measurements and looks like the should fit, also did a comparison table (attached) I'm thinking 255/35 front and 285/35 in the rear (so I'm not running too much stretch) but can still lower nicely (rears are already rolled)
