banzai510(hainz) Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 man thats a nice car you have. lets start from the beginning. What was your fix on the clutch issue?????? Yes ROTAS are a great looking wheel that is cheap. I got a set from JLB motorsports. Depends what strut you have but +25mm will fit a stock strut. or +12 or is it 15 will fit a 280 ZX strut. I run stock hubcaps and like them. On the +25mm on stock 510 struts maybe run a 195/45 series tire as the rim is very close to the strut(hitting) people sre putting 0 offset and rolling the fender and 7in wheels are fitting so I think youll be OK.

tlap Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 One thing to consider with Rota's, the front center cap will NOT fit over a 280ZX hub! I have multiple E-mails and photos sent to Kim Bong at Rota. He basically said that without more complaints about it, there will be no changes made in the design:( Quote Link to comment

I was planning to get these for my wagon eventually. Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 (edited) i think there is a 73mm bore if it matters but heard the same complaint also that the cap dont fit. I dont know if it pertands to the 53mm bore or the 73mm also But I have seen caps on Rotas cant tell on this photo of a guy in Norway Edited July 23, 2009 by banzai510(hainz) Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 I found the same thing with the front center caps. I didn't think of it as an issue so I never complained. The wheels fit fine and that's what matters. (to me) The Rota RBR is a good wheel and priced well. 16x8 for the rear, 16x7 for your front. Those should fit well on a lowered 510.

paradoxx Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Well, i recently acquired some XXR 513, Banana Sport 15X8. They rubbed a lot until I rolled by bat on the rear fenders. im running 185/60 because of a budget issue, but I need to run at least 195/50. They are similar to the ones you posted.

banzai510(hainz) Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Rota RB +12mm is what you need then w/280zx struts. No spacers needed. maybe roll the fenders abit. Quote Link to comment
chebetio510 Posted July 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 right... but there's so many different wheels. and i was wondering which would go with the car's color.. and what not. what would you guys suggest? Quote Link to comment

If your car was my car, I would choose the gunmetal with polished lip. Gunmetal combines perfectly with your paint color. Quote Link to comment
chebetio510 Posted July 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 gun metal is what i was thinking but for some reason i was curious what the goldish bronze would look like Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 I kind of like the wheels you have, even though they are kind of roundy. You could paint them to give you a meaner look. Quote Link to comment
chebetio510 Posted July 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Damn.. that looks better,, never thought of that. looks like a solution for roght now. but.. the offset is killing me... i think they are +40's.. and really want something with a lip.. Quote Link to comment
SRSANDS Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 The last photoshop pic...I think the axels are broken!!!! Ha HA.....why dont you just pic up some Gunmetal rim paint from schucks and paint your old ones like recommended in above post....that way you kill two birds with one stone by changing the rims a little so your not tired of the look and seeing the color against your orange.......mine are gunmetal schucks bomb can wheel paint and I like it alot against m silver.

chebetio510 Posted July 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 haha broken axle.. those are rb's right? and i love how the bbs. looks. and the rb's.. so it's coming down to if i can find some meshies. the sportmax xxr 513 in hyper silver because the black looks ugly.. i was looking at the work equips in silver and black 15's Quote Link to comment
