roadtrip Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I've been looking for a decent set of 19" wheels and have just come across these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290739407620 They're just the size and offsets I'm looking for but I can't make my mind up about the style. A bit of searching reveals that there are two faces available, one more concave than the other: http://www.horsepowerfreaks.com/images/ ... TE_LRG.jpg I can't quite tell from the eBay listing if they're face 1 or 2 but this page suggests that they'll be face 1 on the front and face 2 on the rear: http://www.upgrademotoring.com/wheels/progressiv.htm Here are some photos I've found, the Zed has face 2 all round, the IS has a combination of face 1 and 2, the Primera has face 1 all round: What do people think? or Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smudgedon Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I like them, just don't like the price tag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 If you can't make up YOUR mind about the style don't listen to OUR opinions, just walk away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadtrip Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 If you can't make up YOUR mind about the style don't listen to OUR opinions, just walk away I would be a lot keener on them if they were the concave face 2 all round and half that price! Generally Volk are way out of my budget but I thought these 7 year old ones might become cheap enough if the seller gets a bit more realistic on price. He is open to offers.

Ian Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 The wheels from Nissan would be £5k Errrr when did Nissan become Volk dealers £5k is laughable for them, brand new will be less than £3.5k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RisingPower Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Crikey, I thought the progressivs were rarer than Hen's teeth. I'd have thought those are pretty much the new price, but concave ftw all round if you're going with them. Personally I prefer the looks of other wheels by rays and those are a bit narrow, with slightly higher offsets than i'd want, but you should only buy what you think looks good.

wide Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 firstly there is fare better volks out there imo for that kind of money, but if you are going to get them make sure you get the set with the concave ones for the back, they give a much more aggressive stance & complement the staggered look of the zed.
