jim Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I seem to remember that there was some debate about these wheels before on here, and critical comments about the offsets. Did Digsy not go for a set of these a couple of years ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilli Red Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 They look lovely, doubt you will have any trouble selling them.

Did Digsy not go for a set of these a couple of years ago? I remember that aswell, the only ones I've ever seen were on ebay and the offsets were way off but the seller is saying they fitted fine over Brembo's so could be a goer.

aka350z Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 If there were black centres and 10.5 at the rear i would of snaped them up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Well remembered, Jim! I initially ordered some Axis Hiros from the States but they came through in a GM colour so I think they ended up on Flirt's car. I then ordered some Dare Hiros from Demon Tweeks - or at least I thought I did. It turns out that at the time (late 2006 IIRC) the offsets on the Dares weren't appropriate and the muppet at DT had decided to order me some Team Dynamics Equinox instead - google them - not very similar! Got my money back and knocked the Hiro idea on the head. Having been in contact with Axis at one stage, Dare are apparently shamelessly copying the Axis design without authority...

jim Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I thought it was something like that. It seems a shame because they look very nice wheels. Judging from the photos, the offsets on this set look ok. I wonder if kta had any issues with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No issues at all, when i was originally looking at buying them i enquired at Demon Tweeks and was told there were actually only two models of Alloy wheels in their entire catalogue that would fit a Zed!! I laughed and left straight away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyvvc Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Quick question - what size tyre are these supposed to run? 30 or 35 profile maybe? 235/275 width? Im just wondering so i can check prices for Falken and Toyo etc. Ta EDIT - am i also right in thinking that 25.4mm = 1 inch. So currently my RAYS = 18 x 25.4mm + 90mm (45 profile) = 547.2mm total height of wheel plus tyre. Dare Hiro = 19 x 25.4mm + 70mm (assuming 35 profile tyre) = 552mm total height of wheel plus tyre. Am i way off here? Would a 35 profile be ok - Falken seem to do a nice range in the 452s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyres i had on these wheels were 275/35 on the back and 245/35 on the front, i used toyos and got nearly 20K miles out of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyvvc Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Cool ! I currently run the Brembo brakes (GT spec) with 20mm Eibach hubcentric spacers...will these be enough to clear the calipers though...? Also - pics of the rims on your car - were these with 25mm spacers fitted....? Im a little concerned about the rims sitting too far into the body with just my 20mm spacers.
