    I finally bit the bullet and got some new wheels for my zed. I loved my old Rays but they were really looking dated. I picked these up yesterday for a ridiculous price form a wholesaler.

    Rears are 18x9.5 with 265mm rubber and the fronts are 18x8 with 245mm rubber.

    I have bought some 5mm spacers for the front that make the wheels fill the guards better but I will need longer studs to make it safe.

    I like them but i think they would look better without the black paint on the side of the spokes. They would look more like Work Meisters is they were the same color. But for the price I cant complain. If anyone likes there is a second set available.

    Please ignore the ugly bomex front bar. It is a hideous creation that I will soon replace with my modified Greddy bar.:p

    I got them from a wholesaler and they were cheap as they were old stock.

    Update

    To all the naysayers who sayed their nays. I actually started agreeing with you.:(

    So I gave them a coat of single shot 2pack silver and they came up amazing.
    A definite improvement IMO:)

    I have just found out that the 9.5's fit the front of my car without rhitting the suspension. Ill take it for a drive and if it doesent rub im going to get another set and have 9.5" on all 4 corners.
    :D
    please dont rub:p

    yes you are right. the Z33 V2 track wheels. 19x10" rears and 18x9" fronts. ... except not quite. ;)

    but they do look heaps better than orig! :)

    But just something seams to be missing on the back of that 2+2 Zed. - like maybe a wing to top it all off! (yes that's right, all 2+2's need some form of a wing) :p:zlove:

    cheers. I got them from a place called Access Alloys. Unfortunately they are sold out of them as there were only 2 sets(of 4) left. However if you go to their website they have some other rims that are on clearance.

    I got the center caps yesterday. Chrome with embossing. Very nice:D
