Leith280zlt1 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 17x12 and 17x9 3-piece Kodiak Racing Wheels Finally got them in after 6 months of waiting. I've already got adjustable coilovers. I just had some rubbing issues so it's raised way up so I can get it fixed. I'll lower it back down when those issues are resolved. Yay! More body work!!!

310z Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 16x8-0 offset BBS 3 piece magneisum mesh. Centers are designed for a Ford Festiva Europien race car. Centers are redrilled to fit 4 lug Z car. Wheels were not imported into America by BBS. I disasembled the wheels and spent 13.5 hr. bead blasting the centers. Then I sealed the magnisum with zinc chromate. Painted the centers with Wurth silver wheel paint and clear. Wurth silver is the original paint used at the BBS factory. I had the outer hoops repolished and then reassembled with all new hardware toqureing to spec. I am attempting to post a picture but I have never done that and I am not having much luck. I will see if this works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
310z Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Well I guess it worked although I forgot some information. The 16x8-0 offset wheels weight 13.5 lbs. and are fitted with 225-50-16 Bridgstones. I put $500.00 in the cost of: repolishing the hoops, new wheel seals, new hardware, and paint, but I feel they came out nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
310z Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 A little closer view of the wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tec280zx Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Alright, my wheels came in last night, no tires but here they are mounted. The fronts are kind of a tight fit, I'm not sure what size tires to run. Theres about a finger width of clearance between the coilover and rim. The wheels are 17x9 24mm offset 17x10.5 20mm offset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give us more pics with the Z on the ground when you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggyZ Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Agreed. They do look very good. Give us more pics with the Z on the ground when you can. They look pretty good but it's hard to make them out with the camera flash. get good lighting in that area then take a picture with flash off.

310z Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 I am not much of a photographer but here is a picture of the BBS wheel in natural light. The polished part of the BBS wheels is coated with Zoop Seal. The car is rolling around on a set of Enkei - 92, 15x7-0 offset. The Enkei's were polished. The centers bead blasted and all coated with Zoop Seal. Running 225-50-15 BFG G-force T/A. I was going to run the enkei's as I have had them since the late 1980 as I had just refinished them. But then I found the BBS's. I will not be getting pictures of the car on the ground with the BBS's until spring after some strut tower clearencing work is done and a L6 is under the hood.
