Jak Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 As a few will have realised from my recent thread advertising my Rays for sale I have finally been able to get a new set of wheels I had been in contact with CS way before I had the Rays for sale asking countless questions.... I mean honestly the guy is a saint for putting up with me! I really cannot stress enough how helpful the service CS offered was - it really was top draw all the way and would recommend without hesitation Annyyyway I finally made a decision and placed an order.. nearly 2 months after initial talks!! CS once again provided an excellent service and managed to get the wheels to me within 2 days of them being ordered, which was brilliant.... until, and by no fault of his I might add, the wrong front wheels turned up!! It turned out that this was the result of a bit of a **** up beyond CS's control and the actual wheels I had ordered did not actually exist within the country! ....... Needless to say I was a little disappointed as I had been looking forward to getting the wheels fitted to the car, and as this was during the week of the first set of bank holidays we had it meant another barrier was put in the way of getting the problem sorted quickly... To cut a long story short, rather than getting the original choice shipped in (Which would have probably taken a fair while!) I made the decision to go for a pair of wheels identical to the rears... which I know some will disagree with but its been done so many times across the pond with no issues and the stagger, although small at the moment, remains in the tyres.... Once this decision was made CS wasted no time at all in getting this sorted and managed to get the original (wrong) fronts returned and the New pair delivered by the following Thursday - That's right, 2 bank holidays beaten by what I can only describe as unbeatable customer service In short I am really pleased with the outcome, the service and communication given, and cannot recommend CS enough to anybody looking to treat their Z to a few goodies - CS really did do everything possible to resolve the situation and even took a bit of a hit to make sure I didn't incur more cost than necessary through the miss-hap, I really couldn't have asked for more. On to the pics: Few standard driveway-shots And a few (a fair few ) from other locations: That's all folks! Wheels spec's are 18x10 (265/35/18) et30 with 20mm Eibach Spacer Front & 18x10 (275/45/18) Rear et30 with 20mm Eibach Spacer. Rears rub a little at the moment, so will be getting the arches rolled asap, them maybe add a 5mm shim to the back if it allows... have already tried this but is rubbed....ALOT! Looked cool though... 20mm Eibach + 5mm Shim Rear: (Please excuse unwashed dutty state of the Z in this one ) May also see about bringing the front in 5mm.... but all in due time as it isnt causing any issue as it is Hope you like, and once again THANK YOU CS!!

clarkie34 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Those fronts are wide. Expect gravel rash up the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jak Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 Those fronts are wide. Expect gravel rash up the side. Yeah I know... I had thought of that, thats why I shall be looking to tuck them in a bit more in the not too distant future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 nice rotas, my only concern is that in a few pictures it looks like the wheels stick out beyond the wheel arches, just becareful as plod wont like it and it could be an MOT fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks rt, The pics do make it look a bit that way with the fronts, however at the top of the arch the tread is covered... not by a lot but it is - again, this is another reason behind tucking the fronts in a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richt Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Nice! I think 10/15mm spacers would be better on the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
