310z Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Hey 310z, any chance you want to sell those rims? I will be selling the Enkie 92s 15x7, 0- offset with the BFG G-force KD 225-50-15 when I get the clearence work on the strut towers completed. The tires and wheels have only roled around the shop sence refinishing and installing tires. It may be a couple months before I get them off the car.

djbit Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 17x8 rears and 17 x 7.5 fronts, here's a front trial install. I'm not running coil overs so I don't think I will be able to avoid spacers (running eibachs and tokico struts). I don't know the exact specs but I will find out. I'm hoping to fit 245/50 on the rears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kash Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Really wanted the BBS's but the Enkies would work. Not in a rush so a few months would do. PM me when you are ready to let them go, hopefully you have the center caps also. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggyZ Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Drifter, your wheels are really threatening to make me spend too much money on old school wheels that will be very hard to find. They really remind me how good sub-16" wheels look on a Z. Actually, if wide, small diameter tires weren't so hard to come by, I probably would have gone that route a long time ago.

310z Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 old skool wheels are worth every penny! The older they get, the fewer of them there are available, the harder they are to find. The lack of supply and the increased demand make them rare and cause people to drool. This makes them more valuable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just picked up a nice set of 16x7 enkei 92's myself for 1/3 the price I saw them sell for last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almighty Wez Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 here are my wheels......old skool 3 piece epsilons...fronts 15x8.5 rears 15x10 Damn nice . What offset are those babies? I was thinking about doing something similar on mine, depending on whether I could find the right size/offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedgato Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Yeah, those look tough! I just installed some black Konig Rewinds and some street legal tires. I had to use adapters to fully fill in the flared wheel wells. I can't wait to get deep wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLorean Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Hey Speedgato, what size rewinds are those? Also, what kind of tires are you running? Your car looks incredible... menacing even, ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggyZ I agree with you. A fat set of 15 in. wheels look the best on a Z. But over the year I searched for a high end set of 15x8 with proper offset I watched the tire industry dry up the availability of high preformance rubber. I think the last time I looked, there were only 3 companies making an ultra high performance 225-50-15 with out an R rating and just over a year ago there were more than 6 companies. When I found the 16x8 0-offset BBS's I grabed them as the tire availability is great. I do not like the look of a massive wheel on a Z. It does not look bad, It's just not quite right on a nostaligic Z. Plus, I am not a fan of loosing preformance at all levels due to heavy rotating mass at all four cornors. So I felt going to a ultra light set of 16 was a compromise that would allow tire choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedgato Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 They are 15x7 (+10 I believe). I traded for them so I am not sure the exact dimentions.....I just hurriedly put them on last so that I could take the z on a run this morning. The adapters I used are 48mm. The tires are Kumho Ecsta, I will be giving those back to my buddy as part of the trade. Any recommendations on tires? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddmanout84 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Stock (?) Turbine wheels, 14", 195/70/R14 Firestone Afinity tires. Lol. Unknown offset, width is probably <7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
