Thoughts on these newer Weds?
 
4 Attachment(s)
Im about to order these Weds and was wondering what people thought about high spoked wheels on Z's I personally liked them which is why Im about to order them. They are also lighter than the stock rays at 22.2 lbs for 19 x 9.5 and 22.9 lbs for 19x 10.5.

They are a dark bronze/black/gunmetal color.

I would have the exact same setup but my Z is white and I have 5 mm wider spacers on the rears. Same drop.

If you like them then you should get them. Don't listen to what anyone else has to say about it.

Agreed but I just thought Id ask what other people thought since you normally don't see wheels with a lot of spokes on Zs

dP3NGU1N 08-19-2014 12:24 PM

I'm a practical guy. I hate spending a lot of time washing wheels of brake dust. I went with a classic 5 spoke wheel for that reason. 15 spokes would drive me insane.

Those look great! They remind of of the RS05RRs.

We actually just became an official retailer of Weds, so I can get you a set!

KaienZ34 08-19-2014 12:42 PM

I think they look cool, but would not want to be the one cleaning them all the time.

kenchan 08-19-2014 12:57 PM

waaaaay too many spokes for me. would look okay on a rally car.. or a bicycle

Toasty 08-19-2014 12:59 PM

I appreciate the honesty lol

I'll have to agree with kenchan.

But not the worst wheel I have seen.

I personally like them

FairladyZ10PG 08-19-2014 03:56 PM

my thoughts? = i'd get something else

jdsto 08-19-2014 05:01 PM

I think they look great.

ZForce 08-19-2014 05:04 PM

I too have been eye balling the 15R now that I've excluded the 55M as the spokes on 55M poke out from the rim a bit too much. These have a flush viewpoint from the side of Z. The 15R has grown on me over the last two days looking between the two types I'm considering.

Shawn at Vivid Racing is the go to guy !!

If you are going to get this mult-spoked style wheel I would try to get a more concave set then these Weds that you listed

If they don't come in a more concave style (normally in the wider widths) then I would order a set of the Enkei RS05RR's

Your other option is to go for the new SSR GTV-02's which also come in a more concave face in the wider widths. Only problem is that you would have to go 19x9.5 (+20) all around

I like them bro. The bronze stands out

Malm 08-20-2014 05:59 PM

If you like them get them. They look good. Also, throw kenchan on your ignore list. You will thank me.

The spokes on the weds look ...unorganized?... is the best way I can put it. The RS05RR looks better in comparison & would be my choice between the two.

VRSean 08-20-2014 06:11 PM

Are the RS05RR available in 19?

VRSean 08-20-2014 06:17 PM

sounds about right, doesnt seem like an option then

FairladyZ10PG 08-20-2014 06:18 PM

Dang, why are most good wheels only available in 18s or 20s... 19s gets no love

i think mostly due to the weight and price of tires? by the time people go 20's they're already expecting the wheels to be on the heavier side.

Wow those enkeis are definitely nice... Are there any venders cutting deals on these?

vividracing 08-20-2014 07:54 PM

I sell Enkei John. I can get pretty much anything, so if you see something else you are interested, PM me.
