jamesyj Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 It's time for new tyres all round. So... I thought I might mash the credit card and treat myself to some new wheels at the same time as I've only got standard ones. I'd like to keep the price down as we all would really! I quite liked the Ultralite Atec, but pants offsets. I just spoke to a really helpful chap at Rare Rims, I've been quoted basically £800 for some 18 "Rota Torque or GTR's (I'd prefer Bronze. I've got a Kuro Zed so it'd look aswesome). They'd be 8.5" front and 9.5" rears. What tyre sizes should I go for to maintain the rolling radius? Also what would be the ideal offet? I'd just like them to sit nicely really as I haven't got a front lip etc, standard exterior, which is the way she'll be staying. Any pictures of them in 18" on a Zed would be beautiful also! Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H5 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Why not go 19"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesyj Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 Price to be honest. I need tyres all round. My current wheels are kerbed (badly) by the previous owner. I'd prefer some nice fresh wheels and tyres rather than buying some tyres and then in 6 months time for example buying some wheels, and then having to buy some tyres again. I'd ideally want some Rays (the normal optional ones) but none seem available Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H5 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 19s won't be that much more if any I wouldn't think. If you need new tyres then there are some good wheel and tyre deals to be had from traders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesyj Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 Pm replied to Alex. H5 - Yeah I get you, I've seen some nice deals about but in my heart of hearts, I wanted to stay as standard as possible. I'll have to see if Alex can make my day!

H5 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Stay standard. But with 19s. Understand where you're coming from. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
