Porsche 997 turbo rims on Z?

OMGWTFBBQ · 08-27-2010, 12:22 PM

Whats the point of getting wheels that weren't even supposed to be on this car? You'd have to get an adapter to change the bolt pattern. Then you'd have to space it out to change that ridiculous offset. Are you going to run without center caps? Because Porsche center caps on a Nissan =

By the time you get it to all work out, you might as well have gotten a set of wheels that actually work on the Z.

Here's a quick chop with the 997 turbo rims. I don't know, I kind of like the look.

Nitex · 08-27-2010, 03:02 PM

I used to rock Porsche wheels on a couple VW's

yah, i think the porsche wheels look good on the z.

as for the center caps, just sand them down into a nice flat polish look and a quick shot of clearcoat will do.

They remind me a lot of the new Volk Triniti-V wheels, which actually have 370Z-specific offsets:

Nitex · 08-27-2010, 04:49 PM

^^^ Love the wheels, is that the wide body kit?

Zeester · 08-28-2010, 06:11 AM

Whats the name of that kit on the orange 370 ? I really like the sides and the rear hatch design !

I had 911 replica wheels on my 91 back in the day.

I do like the wheels on the Z though.

Heck yes! That looks sexual!!

I have a contact who said he could custom make the adapters/specs to make the wheels fit snug on my Z so just need to work out exact mm spacers needed for the offsets! Any help?
How wide could I go without rubbing?

I will probs paint over the centrecaps.
FYI These porsche rims are $2000 AUD... so about $1650 US?
Im guessing thats ALOT cheaper than the Rays Trinity ones in the picture hey when you factor in shipping etc hahah I am in Australia, and its hard to come by good rims down here! All I can find are cheap asian-made replicas that weigh a heap and buckle easily or really old ugly looking Rays spec. So these porsche rims stood out alot. I saw them on a 911 Carrera recently and liked how wide they were and it got me thinking...

Thanks heaps for the photoshop.

Gave u rep points. Really like the look of it now.
Would probably do blue calipers though... not sure heheh
