roadtrip Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I've been looking for some decent 19" wheels and noticed that most forum members go for 5 spoke designs, why is that? I'm really liking some of the new OEM multi-spoke spoke designs, check out these: Porsche Boxster Audi RS4 Kia Track'ster Obviously they're not for zed fitment but these aftermarket rims certainly are: Forgestar CF10 HRE P43SC 5ZIGEN ProRacer ZR+520 What do people think? Anyone else considering some like these? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Like the ones on the 370z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRF4N Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Iv always thought 5 spokes suit more cars so are almost foolproof- to an extent With multispokes they ca be more hit or miss- u need the right wheel for the right car with the right bodykit That's maybe why they're more common but that's just my theory lol. Iv always liked multispokes- 7, 8 and 10 can look great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RisingPower Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I love multi spoke wheels, though the ones I love most cost wayyy too much for a z imho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RisingPower Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Forgestar ones in first post are I think advan rs copies? Again, very nice wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadtrip Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 That's good, at least I'm not the only one! Three people so far who have a set of multi-spokes and a handful of others who just like looking. Three votes for the HRE ones on the white 370Z, although at £5k+ (from what I've seen anyway) before tyres they're not going to be cheap. What is it people like about them? Is it the finish on the wheels, the style of the wheels, the stance, the body kit, the colour or just the whole combination? If/when I decide to buy I'm more likely to go for something like the Forgestar because I don't want the hassle of looking after split-rims, polished lips and the like, plus at around £1500 for a set of forged 19" they are considerably cheaper than a lot of others. Forgestar ones in first post are I think advan rs copies? Again, very nice wheels. Apparently when asked if it was a copy of another wheel Forgestar said it was inspired by the wheels on a Merc SLS.

Its the combination for me but as that combination would probably cost more than what my 370 is worth by the time it was all done.............. Wheels alone - £5k+ is more than what I would want to pay for a set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently when asked if it was a copy of another wheel Forgestar said it was inspired by the wheels on a Merc SLS. I don't really like HRE's at all, just do nothing for me, the finish doesn't look that great and they just look like normal porsche wheels or cheapish rotiforms to me. DPE on the other hand, bling bling and completely and utterly impractical for UK roads but again, like the HRE's pretty damn expensive (probably more than those HRE'S). Polished lips are a pain to look after, but I still love my volks. I also question that, it looks almost identical to advan rs (which was also before the sls's time). Wonder how heavy the forgestars are.... The advans are very light indeed and I was considering them before the volks, but they're a pain to get hold of and not exactly cheap either, probably about double the price of the forgestar equivalents.

Wheels alone - £5k+ is more than what I would want to pay for a set It is a bit silly spending that on wheels for a zed imho. Still, there are some hot z's/g35's/370z's with them on. The only thing is, at that sort of price, the wheels are fully custom, so you can get whatever offsets and finish you like. Depends on how much love you have for your z/car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadtrip Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Wonder how heavy the forgestars are.... I think the Forgestars are around 10kg for 19" so not really light but not too bad either. The only thing is, at that sort of price, the wheels are fully custom, so you can get whatever offsets and finish you like. Forgestar are custom in terms of offsets and finish I believe. Build time is 6-8 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadtrip Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Sounds like you work for them It does doesn't it! I have done a fair bit of Googling and made some enquiries as they're high on my list but no I don't work for them. Honest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sized Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Looking at getting some of the 5zigens in the near future Jables on here has some, but apart from that they don't seem to be very common. Was going to go for Rota Grids, but there are loads of cars with TE37 style wheels on and I'm liking the multi-spoke look atm Those Forgestars look very nice too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben@RARE RIMS Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 T2R Torque I also think there's room for these: 18x10.5 Force The Force is new in that size though, so no 350Zs with them on yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadtrip Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 I did look at Rota being a popular option around these parts but couldn't see that any of the multi-spoke styles are available in 19". Am I right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RisingPower Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Forgestar are custom in terms of offsets and finish I believe. Build time is 6-8 weeks. Hmmm, would be interesting to see them in the metal then Was disappointed with the work cr kais when I saw them tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben@RARE RIMS Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 You're right, 19" multi-spokes aren't about yet Hopefully by the end of the year there will be something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
