rickya Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I have decided to bite the bullet & buy some new alloys!! I need some new tyres in approx 500 to 1000 miles & so might as well go the whole hog. Though I am not straying too far from my tight ass roots by going down the not too expensive alloys route! Hoping to get all in with tyres for approx £1k for 18"'s. As I only came up with this master plan today, two questions first (offset questions will have to be looked into closer to the time): 1)Which budget make firstly make alloys for the 350z & which design? I have come up with a few (not 100% certain yet if they fit zeds) Inovit Apis Gloss Black: Lenso RS5 Fuel 6 If you chaps know if these will fit or not, or any others please let me know 2) 18"s or 19" ?(I tend to prefer 18"s) Will be going for approx 8 or 8.5 inch alloy width on front & 9.5 inch on back, with widest rubber to fit? I am going to wrap these with Nankangs NS2 tyres, which are a very good sports budget tyre that I recently put on the other motor. When funds allow & these tyres wear out, I will put on some Toyos. Please help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sl114 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 if it fits go for the Inovit Apis in Gloss Black, they will look so nice on your car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickya Posted December 11, 2006 Author Share Posted December 11, 2006 Probably not & so may be heavy for the traffic light grand prixs But I will be keeping old wheels for any track days etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickya Posted December 11, 2006 Author Share Posted December 11, 2006 I am starting to like the black alloy with polished lip look! Makes it more menacing & racer look, rather than a chrome show & shine look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 If you could get the Lenso RS5 in black they would look stunning. The Fuel ones are nice aswell though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkfish Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I am starting to like the black alloy with polished lip look! Makes it more menacing & racer look, rather than a chrome show & shine look? Deffo! Go for them!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigphil Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Although the Inovit is available in the correct PCD as far as I can determine only available in ET42 offset which is no good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickya Posted December 11, 2006 Author Share Posted December 11, 2006 Cheers for the info Phil I also have discovered I think that the Inovits only go to a max of 8.5 inch width. Do you know of any others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomoto Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 like the Lenso RS5 , do they do those with a black center, mind you ,you can always paint them black..thats what I did with mine...love the black center with polished edge look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickya Posted December 11, 2006 Author Share Posted December 11, 2006 Lookin great Tim Did you paint those yourself? What sizes & offsets are they?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigphil Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 these are available in 9'' width with the correct offset and PCD http://www.srbpower.com/buddyclub/p1-racing-sf.php The problem you will have is that most of the budget wheels on 18'' are only 8'' width or these in 9.5 http://www.rotawheelsuk.com/product_det ... &pcd_id=20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigphil Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 Hi PhilAre they heavy? They are classed as lightweight rims can check in the morning for exact weights, certainly lighter than the standard 18's that came on the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
