madkaw Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 One more ? Dtaylor! I noticed the caps are on the front wheels. I have heard of problems with the bearing caps not allowing the wheel caps to sit correct-any problems with yours??? Thanks Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They mount between the wheel and hub. If there is a problem you could use a small spacer to give the cap a little room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temujin Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 After quite a long search, I finally found new shoes for my 240Z FORTRAN 2 pcs 16x7 fronts 2 pcs 16x8 rears will probably fit 235's on all 4 or 225's front and 235's rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggyZ Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Those are the funkiness, that's for sure. The red is a little hard to take but they're kinda cool, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokey Z Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Sorry to say, not much done since. Life got in the way. New job, new house with a complete remodel inside and out, has taken most of my time. I still had the stock dash in there at the time of that photo. It has since been replaced by a modified version of this: http://www.hrpworld.com/index.cfm?form_prod_id=106,54,363_764&action=product Wired up with new autometer gauges. One of these days I hope to get back to it... Jeff I hear you Jeff. I've had 2 kids, changed jobs, blah blah blah. My car has an abundance of dust on it as we speak. I still love your car. Good luck and I hope you get back too it sooner than later. Ran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CORPCRIM Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I think the wheels that came on the car when I bought it look like poop when the car isn't moving, but when they are, they don't look that bad. sorry for the out of focus photo... it was a quick shot and quick editing job.

rudypoochris Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 For those of you who don't know, I am a huge wheel fan. Its fun for me anyway, kind of strange. Here is a set I got a while ago. Bought these 4 months or so ago, never got a chance to photo them. I am trying to get them signed by Peter Brock this weekend at a car show (cross your fingers right). Just one of them on the lip and I will be happy. I just wiped it down with a wet cloth, didn't reclear it or buff or anything. Thats for later if I ever get around to using these! 17x9.5" front and 17x11.5" rear offsets are something like -25 front and -45 rear. They are 3-piece and actually surprisingly light. Has over 7" of lip on the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8ZRACER260Z Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 These aren't for everyone but I am running 345/30R19's on factory 08 Z06 wheels. Even with my 85 C4 suspension I had to get 3" wheel adapters made to use them. Probably way too much postive offset for most of you. I just did a quick mock up to see if they will work. The final flare will be a bit different design but you'll get the idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice! Davy Heheh. Thanks! I really want John Morton or any BRE guys to sign them in Gold Sharpie this weekend. Crossing my fingers. They really are strangely light though. Its a bit disturbing. I would think them heavier. Apparently the rims are forged or something. I should get them on a scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Careless Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 does the etoile wheel come in 5x114.3? Man, those are beautiful wheels Wish I hadda pair 'a those. Looks like Gotti wheels... also a brand I would love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
