Yep... just waiting for some decent pictures

They come in lots of finishes, they're just not on the website yet as I am making a new website, which they are on. They come in Red / Blue / Bronze / Gunmetal and a few more 19s... yes, we need more. You reckon the 12s would be popular?

Haha yeah, I think you'll be in a serious minority with those mate

Does too I guess maybe you have to be registered or something

You honestly like that? Maybe on a Focus, but on a Z? I think that'd be a niche too far Also, original ideas would appear to be the way forwards

You can already get them from a Volk dealer Mainly looking for new and original ideas to be posted in the thread in the link Having said that, any and all ideas will be passed onwards.

I thought this also might be of interest: That's the first of 4 pallets of wheels leaving here today. Today is a normal day. If you look closely in that picture in the backgroud you can see a black Vauxhall van, that's parked outside one of our warehouses. The Forklift is coming from our main warehouse, and the building just in front of the van is also ours. We stock a lot of wheels, and this is how we have the buying power and clout to get new designs made. We're always looking for new ideas, and have the balls to actually stock offsets and sizes that look good, and fit well, rather than just boring safe stuff. Where else will you find 18x12 ET0 on the shelf? 15x8 ET0? I could go on, but you'll get bored Decent fitments are what we do, but without your feedback, we wont know to get new things in. Give us inspiration, and you'll see brand new and original ideas

Hope it's OK to post this here, this section is busier than the traders viewtopic.php?f=113&t=45051 We have made 17x9.5 ET-95 4x114 wheels because they were requrested. 18x9 4x108 ET20 for Escort Cosworths we did on request. 15x7 and 15x8 4x108 for Kit cars, we have done. 18x12 ET0 5x114 for drifters... got that covered too. What would you like to see? 19" GTRs are hugely popular, but what else would you like to see? Let us know!

What styles would you like to see? Anybody got any urges? We're always looking for new ideas. We have had the same sort of thread up here: http://www.sxoc.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=475500 and here: http://www.civiclife.net/board/index.ph ... direction/ The idea is the same... if anybody can come up with something new and exciting, they'll win themselves a free set Cheers!

Maybe didn't correct the pressure to take into consideration the load? Agree though, tyres will have to be good! They were simply overloaded, 4 big blokes and a lot of stuff in the car - but an easy mistake to make, and goes to show how much margin for error with tyres there isn't always

Get busy with a tape measure Offsets are in mm. Every 1 offset you decrease with a spacer or lower offset wheel, the tyre move 1mm out. Offset is measured from the centreline of the wheel to the mounting face. An ET30 has the centreline of the wheel 30mm in from the mounting face.

Generally with brake clearance you find after-market brakes are easier to clear, as they move the caliper away from the hub via a bigger disc Most 19s will clear standard brakes no worries, the 350Z isn't too awkward. If you're worried, send the supplier a brake template and have him try it, there must be a template around somewhere for them.

They'll fit. They wont look the best, in that offset, and they wont be light, but they'll fit

Probably worth being very sure of your tyres too I recently had a customer drive from Scotland to Milton Keynes in a BMW on some decent Dunlops... 4 up with luggage. Car smelled a bit when they arrived, checked tyres and they were all blistered!

How are you fixed for warranty type things, if a wheel or something else arrives damaged or incorrect?

Rota... interesting

Those are not tyres we generally deal with I am afraid, so wont be able to be super keen on price. Rotas will be £846 with your forum discount. Varrstoen will be around £1350 - £1400 in similar sizes.

We have many options... Grids or GTRs in the Rota Range, and the Varrstoen ES2.2 in their range, all in stock. I would suggest a 9.5 all round would work well, ET30 or 25 front and ET12/15 rear. This will not give you a hugely aggressive fitment, which I can also arrange, but will give you an easy life and a nice looking car Tyre wise, 235/40/18 and 265/35/18 will work well, we can do some Yokohama Advan Sport V103s in this size for £500 for the full set, fitted and balanced. Let me know which you would like!

Fair enough, I'll keep a set on ice for you

Stop being a girl, go see Rob, and get those 18x12 ET20 and 18x9.5 ET25s on there. GTR-Ds. They look great, you'll all see, once we get some decent pictures

We have utterly failed to get any snow in Devon We're all looking forward to it, last year was a hoot with 460hp S15 and a smattering of MX5s We're all big kids when it comes to snow here, it's been forecast several times but never arrived Anybody want to send some they dont want down our way?

Where are you guys sourcing 19" and 20" Advans? I might have a plan...

Hub bore of your car is 66mm. The wheels you can measure, it's just the diameter of the hole in the centre, usually but not always 73.1mm. If you need spigots, feel free to give us a shout, if Chilli Red hasn't already got you sorted

Yep, they have the same dish and concave as those you have pictured
