Deep-dish wheels for zx2

[CarbonTC]

Show me the deepest dish wheels you guys can find for a zx2. Also, besides 7.5" in width, anyone here with 8"? show me pics damn it! not links. :judge:
Planning to make parts and go EURO with zx2 this year.
Thanks.

i miss my konig GT-R wheels tho :(

[Gunslinger]

yeah, somebody show some pics, that might be kinda sexy

[capitalcrew]

Carguy is your man, I think.

[carguy07]

mine are only 17x7, the wheel makes it look deeper.

i can put an 18x7.5 on the car in a couple weeks, but the rims need tires right now so it will be one more paycheck before i can play around.

Edit: just to have a picture in this thread. . .

What made you go to 18x7.5's? Those looked perfect for your car. Pics of the rims? I second that the Euro look might be kind of nice.

[chasingsafety]

carbon you had gt-r's?
That's what I'm runnin now

[carguy07]

the 18x7.5's are not for the zx2, but i can put them on there to see how they look. i will have them on the 240sx, luckily the lug patterns are paired together on 4 lug rims.

my 17's won't be going anywhere anytime soon. . .

Isn't it hard to put deep dish rims on FWD cars or something? It's not really something I've seen before, but I bet it would look pretty good.

mine have about a 1 inch lip, there 18x8 and i had to have spacers to clear the shocks, im getting ground controls and a couple of other things so i wont need the spacers soon tho

The last one looks terrible, IMO.

[Larka]

Don't mind the ugly car, just look at the wheels. :biggrin:

17in Falken Hanabis. Have about an inch lip on them. Everywhere online says that they're 17x7.5 but if you measure them, they're 17x8. It sucks- because the 205 tire bulges on them.

Compared to a Motegi MR7- you can see where it's taller and an idea of the lip size-

Now I just need to get spacers in the rear so I can get 215s and be able to clear the strut. Right now those are just about touching the strut in the back.

[yellow2000S/R]

At least get the right offset that they arent sticking out past your fenders. That shits gay. Same with having to run real stretched tires just so you have a lip.

That last VW is gay. 1st one's offset is too low pushing tires/wheels out too far.

[Gunslinger]

not bad, not bad at all, miss larka style. your ride is comming along. i like it

[zx2reme]

To get a deep lip look, you need to find rims that have mass lip engineering. Check Axis or R-1 Racing. There are other companies that offer them. I believe the R-1 racing offers a 3.75 inch lip. And it is for fwd. I believe that is for a 8 inch wide wheel, so minus a half inch for 7.5 inch wide wheel.

I dont have plans to go stock again. I may be buying a local zx2 sooner or later and the body molds I'll be making will be for 16x8.5" rear and 16x8 front BBS wheels and 235's rear and 225's front. I want to make a similar e35 wide body kit. Everything will be custom. It will look exotic. That's the reason for wider tires and wheels, however i know the car will be front wheel driver, still besides carbon fiber lighter components I will work with a one of a kind titanium exhaust system never seen in a zx2 b4. Time will say it. For now I need to focus in new parts before getting into an adventure :P

The zx2nr had deep dish wheels and it looked pretty good. Having a body kit like that would make me change my mind about getting rid of my car in a heartbeat.

This Audi TT looks round like a zx2, so imagine these wheels on a zx2:

Ditto.

Those rims look good silent.

[NYRichyone]

I will have these in my posession in approx 3 weeks..and should have them mounted by July.

They have a little dish...Tenzo GF-7's.:partynanas: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/nyrichyone/hgf7_hyperblack.jpg

[capitalcrew]

Dayum.

[NYRichyone]

Dayum. I know....Kyle pushed me into them..he is buying my Enkie's.

These are the ones I have planned on for some time, and now they make them to 'fit' my car.

[silent_1999]

Thanks Cap.

[1981gMachine]

Ditto.

Those rims look good silent.

The money was there as a joke. Me and my buddies laugh at people who use 100's to compare things.

[CkretAjint]

I'll sell them back to you if you want... :p

18 x 8's

[CarbonTC]

k so 18x8.5 seems to be smaller for my project, i think i'll go with 9.5" or 10" rear and 8" front LMS BBS wheels.
