ULISES Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Can't wait to see how they look on a red Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 5.5 rear, 4.75 front. Thanks for the info. Do you have coil overs on your car? How much clearance between the strut/spring and wheel? These are on my short list of wheels for the track car. Aways makes me nervous ordering nonrefundable high dollar parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are on my short list of wheels for the track car. Aways makes me nervous ordering nonrefundable high dollar parts. Yes, I do have coil overs. I trusted the owner John to advise me on the b/s, along with Mike (ON3GO). John has fitted many Z cars with the classic wheel, so I'm sure they will fit fine.

Guest Aguyandaredhead Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Man You sure are making me want to order mine and just let them sit inside the spare bedroom (like so many parts already) untill I am ready to use them. Did you happen to ask them if they will powdercoat special colors on the centers. I would like to try and match the body color. Yours sure are purdy...

EZ-E Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Now thats the finishing touch your car deserves, honestly. I cant wait to see them on that Z of yours, those wheels have to be one of my very favorite wheels. Hurry now man, mount those tires and lets see how she looks with her new shoes on:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 yep... but i remember the rear having a problem too but its been over 3 years so i forget. all i know is mine are messed up from me trying to make them work that i gotta get new ones. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeder Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Absolutely gorgeous and best looking wheel for the Z. I will be ordering mine soon - the YZ front is complete enough, still have to get the AZC 5-lug brakes on so I can measure for offset/backspace. Mine will be 18X13" rears/12" fronts, black centers like yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted January 14, 2006 Author Share Posted January 14, 2006 Those will really look killer on your car Rick!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehelix112 Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Has anyone been running wheels 10"+ on a race car for any length of time? I'm looking towards upgrading the wheels but am a little concerned about the poor wheel bearings with that much extra load on them.

thehelix112 Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Oh and how much do these wheels weigh? 6061 centres sound promising but I'm keen to know anyway. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
