jacob300zx Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 http://rides.webshots.com/photo/240157212/1240177203059395841IxINSG This is the best looking stock fendered z car I've seen. Well, except for the damage. I have to say this car and the blue one from Japan, featured at z parts.com are my favorites. Anyways to the real point. Does anyone know what wheels those are and or backspacing, etc. Any help would be appreciated. Poor car! Thanks, Jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtmny1999 Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Looks like CCW wheels. http://www.ccwheel.com/files/wheelprofiles-model.php?id=sp20 I was going to buy those but they couldn't make my negative offsets. BOOOO http://www.ccwheel.com/files/wheelprofiles-model.php?id=classic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacob300zx Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 Does it look like he put a wider lip on the front. Maybe so he could run the same lip front and back? Those also look to be four lug? Ok so I called ccw and sent him the link. They are there 3 piece modular wheels. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LamboZ Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 the wheels on the silver Z are CCW classics. on that car im pretty sure there all the same size and offset. he is a member on this website. theres alot of members on here that have CCW wheels on there Z's.

Challenger Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Ouch the silver car took a hard hit. I really like those wheels too, do they come any smaller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LamboZ Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 they have made 16's in the past. they do make 17's, and the ones JTmny1999 posted are not the ones on thats on the silver Z. the ones on the silver Z are these CCw's.... http://www.ccwheel.com/files/wheelprofiles-model.php?id=classic When i talked to John at CCW back in the day, he told me that 16's are the same price as a 17in wheel, and would take way longer to get, as they dont stock any 16in rims to make a set.

Yup, looks like the classics because the lip is different and the wheel size looks smaller than 18's. I think u can get any offset with the 3 piece wheel but not with a 1 piece.

Dudeboy Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I think that car belongs to a member on this site. I think his name is "Gnosez" and here is a website with a front view of the car: http://www.baddogparts.com/index.htm He could chime in with more accurate information.

jacob300zx Posted September 12, 2006 Author Share Posted September 12, 2006 Just couriusly what happened to his car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roostmonkey Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 This was Johns car and is the reason Baddog Parts came about. It seems that a dog was standing in the road around a blind corner and John being the humanitarian that he is, sacrificed his ride for the wellbeing of the baddog in the road. The car that replaced it is way nicer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeK280z Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 I don't think those are CCWs. Its driving me crazy - but I can't remember the wheel manufacturer. Hopefully John or someone else from New Hampshire will chime in. I agree with Roostmonkey. His current car is gorgeous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seth Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 They sure look like CCW's to me... Because that's what mine is rolling on (Diff. offset though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS1 240Z Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 i would have hit the dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roostmonkey Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 the wheels are something like BBS ???? I know he had them built for his Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR240Z Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Those are definitely CCW Classics. Same centercaps as i have on my rear CCWs on my white z and as well as seth's signature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo_fb Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 i would have hit the dog Aye aye. if it was a blonde with big tits I might have trashed the car. On the CCW web page the prices on the rims are priced as a set. Does that mean 4 rims in US? Was thinking about kodiak wheels but the CCw's are way nicer.

LS1 240Z Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Aye aye. if it was a blonde with big tits I might have trashed the car. only because she would have owed you her life and would be eternaly greatful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnosez Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 That is indeed my old 240 and those are CCW wheels. I have limited access to this site and can not post pics for some odd security reason. The wheels are 2-piece 16 X 8 inch w/ zero off-set and I run 225s on the front and 245s on the rear on my current 240. The rears only fit because I cut and pushed up the inner wheel well flange and then rolled the flat portion of the body panel up to form a lip. That and the fact I have coil-overs and 2 degrees negative camber allow them to tuck up without rubbing. I had just been emailed a picture of a deer embedded in an SUV the day before the bad dog incident. Since I use a 5-point harness when I saw the dog I had thoughts of it rolling up the hood and right into my face. The harness is a great thing to have as I exited the wrecked Z with no injuries or soreness at all but you are pinned in place. If someone wants they can email me at: john@baddogparts.com and I will forward a picture of my current 240 w/CCW wheels and one of what was left of the wrecked 240 after I stripped it (not for the faint-hearted). If you can post them here on this thread that would be great too. I appreciate the comments about my old Z and I might be able to come up with a few more pics of it on the road and on the track. My tranny guy says he likes the wrecked 240 (w/3.0L) over the newer 3.2L as it handled better. Since most of the suspension came from the wrecked 240 I think I need more time in the shop tweaking things. The current 240 is prettier but I beat the piss out it too.

veritech-z Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Here's some of the pics of John's old car: And here's John at age 5 doing what I assume is some frame strengthening to the Scooty Puff Jr. (anybody besides me watch futurama?) (In John's defence, I'm not sure I was supposed to post that one, but hey, I calls 'em like I sees em.) And these are the new car: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
