New Rims! Have a guess..

No tyres for me today! :dry: Wheel specialist Farnham was open, but fully booked until a week today. They do not normally fit tyres to just anyones wheels, normally it is only if you have had a refurbishment with them.

 

But they happily agreed to do it for me, and would find the best size and fitment.

 

So a week today will be the day hopefully. Unless I get impatient and go elsewhere on the weekend! I am going to fit one front and one rear alloy just to see how they look and fit :teeth:.

 

Pictures shortly.

 

Have you got a good pic of your z on the jade r wheels on it

Just go to any garage that can fit tyres?

Nice! Are you local to Farnham then? I live there.

I will probably end up getting them done this weekend elsewhere, and I meant to say wheel specialist Fareham, auto correct..

 

Here is the rear alloy on the car, it looks tiny!

I am quite pleased, just from fitting one alloy, I think they will suit the car quite well.. Just need to order some more bits to compliment the new black wheels!

Is that bolted on tightly?

 

I know it might make a difference when you drop the car but the alloy seems to protrude quite far out from the wheel well if I'm honest. :dry:

 

Look's good other than that. ;)

 

Just one nut in, but it was flush with the hub. It looks similar to grundy's first photos of his Cosmis wheels (stuck out just like mine), obviously there will be a difference as you said when there is a tyre on there and when it it actually on the ground.

 

This Saturday is going to be the day, I think/hope.

Buster..... with those sizes are you running any wheel spacers? Just that the wheels I have my heart set on are the size you quoted but was a bit dubious as to what tyres to go for. I also have the Brembo calipers so need to ensure they get cleared.

 

Thanks
