sally Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Hello All, Just a small rant really................. My Z's alloy are corroding. I tool it to main dealer who took some photos and applied for a warranty claim. Eventually i hear back, The wheels have been authorised and they will order them. Today, several months later they arrive, Woo Hoo. Or so i thought....... Opened the box and instead on my 6 spoke rays alloys i have received 5 spoke anthracite nissan GT4 wheels. Dealer are now telling me that because the rays are more expensive than the ones i received so they are going to have to make another claim! So i guess i have some more waiting to do. The better auhorise these as i will have a hissy fit. Cant believe they got it wrong, i mean THEY TOOK PICTURES!!!!!! Sorry, Rant over!!

Chesterfield Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 You got GT4 wheels instead of the Rays!! If I were you I would keep my mouth shut and stick with the GT4 rims. They are like rocking horse crap in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerry3167 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Stop confusing me! I thought a made the right decision. Not sure now! They dont look they would last very well. They will last as long as they are looked after well, which means cleaning them every other day, well I do mine every other day to keep the brake dust off which is the corrosive stuff to alloys!

Toon Chris Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 You will not have any problem swapping them for Rays (and probably some extra cash too) on this forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLizard Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 imo its difficult to imagine what they would look like until on the car, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrLizard Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 i really like them, i was after some before i realised i wasnt going to find any and settled on the rays which are still good to be fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beavis Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I think that Nissan have a surplus of the original GT4 wheels now, saw 2 cars with them at Holdcrofts yesterday with them fitted. May be they have tried to dump a set on you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAYHEW820 Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Two reasons for staying with Rays 1) These GT4 wheels are heavier thus handling will be affected. 2) There is hardly any paint on the inner rim surface and in my heart of hearts after a couple of winters they are gonna be corroding up. The current set of Rays on the car on the inner rim are still in immac condition, after 27000 miles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Mind you, I think 5 spoke is better because you have 5 wheelnuts, but that's just me. *edit* added this cos I had nothing better to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sally Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 Mind you, I think 5 spoke is better because you have 5 wheelnuts, but that's just me. Shut up! Your not helping!!!! At least i know not to use Billberry wheel cleaner on my new rims!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sally Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 Only joking fella! I like you rims but i am deffo staying with the rays. For now!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 its got so heated i think the rims they've offered you are really nice. part of the appeal is not as many people have them which is great. everybody has thier own opinion on rims as they do on any other styling aspect, take a survey of opinions to help you but dont let them choose for you Car parts will last as long as you look after them, some take more looking after than others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
