RobD7 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I've been to 2 websites to look at this wheel, one says it fits the 350z, another says it doesn't. Anyone know the answer? Also, would welcome any thoughts on this wheel? As I really want a 5 spoke alloy and one where the spokes go right to the edge. If anyone has any pictures of 350's on these type of 5 spokes then I welcome them!

AndySpak Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I'm not sure what the wheel sizes need to be but can you not email the store and ask them to confirm? At least that way, if you buy them and they don't fit you've got something to refer to when you ask for your moneyback. Are those prices for 4 wheels? Seem very cheap!

RobD7 Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 Yeah they come to about £1k on every site which seems good (want them in 19s). Good idea about e-mailing them, still worry sometimes that those who reply from these stores don't really know what they're talking about!!

AndySpak Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 You should definitely ask them directly though, just to cover your arse. Would still be worth checking it out somewhere else too if you are worried. Excellent prices in that case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 How about these? http://www.5zigenusa.com/english/produc ... vis-1.html Think both Phil @ ESR and Kev @ Envy both can get these.... And they can advise on other Jap rims Also the ones your looking at dont seem to be staggered, do you know what width they are? And the offsets dont seem to good, you need to be going for around +20 - +25... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD7 Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 They look pretty cool, thanks. Although they're 6 spoke and for me, 5 is a must!! Have already pm'd Phil to see what he has as I figured he may be able to help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 OMG £1k for wheels + Toyo's The wheels must be of such poor quality to be able produce them and make a profit at that price AND include a set of tyres I'd expect them to be ok till about November and as soon as the road salt comes out these rims will dissolve.................

RobD7 Posted April 11, 2008 Author Share Posted April 11, 2008 I've found loads of 19's for this sort of price, surely they can't all be bad!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I've found loads of 19's for this sort of price, surely they can't all be bad!? If you own a Corsa they'll be great No doubt they'll weigh a ton which will affect your handling. The finish on the rims will be minimal. If a set of £2000 RAYS volks won't stand up to british weather a £500 set of Halfords-esque rims have no chance. I don't mean to sound harsh or patronising but in 12 months you'll be buying a replacement set of rims with another......therfore you might as well of bought a more expensive set to start with.... I'm sure a set of Rota's from Bigphil are non quality wheels that come with tyres which is what I'd be doing if i was on a budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3FIDDYZ Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 IMO a grand with tyres is a bit too cheap, toyos are about £500 so thats £125 a rim left... and thats at retail. Laying out Torque and 250bhp at the wheels in a zed, I would prefer to have something more up to the job carying me along... Just my opinon, but at the end of the day its your car and your money. If they are right for you and your car, go get em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobD7 Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share Posted April 12, 2008 Not fussed about cost, it appears though the designs I have been looking at were cheap ones (I'm obviously easily pleased!!) Really like the wheels in the second link you attached (as in the second link down from the group of 4), will enquire about those as that is exactly what I want...

They are here for $670 a wheel: http://fastcarpro.com/index.php?manufac ... 11293e8efc So thats about £1200 plus shipping plus tyres so a toal of about £1900 which is about right imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3FIDDYZ Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Lol, it was lucky to get a wash!! Let alone tyre shine!! It was only thanks to H5 that I borrowed his Bucket and Mitt and shires microfibre that I managed to get it looking like that! Thinking about it I should have asked Shire as he had every other detailing product with him!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 These seem to fit the bill, either mine, making a killer saving ,or brand new as they're a good price for a quality wheel. Actually, if they don't sell in the next few days they'll probably get a refurb and go back on my car for Summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
