240znz Posted March 11, 2002 Share #1 Posted March 11, 2002 Check this pic out. What a looker...a little too low for my cup of tea but the wheels are striking. Does anyone know what wheels they are? They look like BBS but I'm not sure. I've been to the BBS website but haven't been able to find the model. I've also tried emailing recetep but haven't got a reply. Any help would be appreciated.

2ManyZs Posted March 11, 2002 Share #2 Posted March 11, 2002 Yeah, that is sweet. Yes, they do look like a BBS wheel, but there are quite a few that look very similar. I have seen some like this before but I can't remember what brand they are. They look like 15's or 16's. That may be why the car looks like it sits a little low. Sit's pretty good if you ask me.

EScanlon Posted March 11, 2002 Share #3 Posted March 11, 2002 Those ARE sharp wheels but if they are what I think they are, they're going to be real spendy.Those look like authentic Wire Spoke Wheels, and last I checked into one of them, they were like $250 EACH, and they weren't too keen on guarantee / warranty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240znz Posted March 11, 2002 Author Share #4 Posted March 11, 2002 I'm also guessing they are 15's. How low do you think it has been lowered. I'm guessing at 2 inches. Are there any pics out there of what a 1" or 2" lowered Z look like for reference. I don't want to go out and spend dosh and find it is too low.

240znz Posted March 13, 2002 Author Share #5 Posted March 13, 2002 For those of you who are curious....The rims are actually 15" American Racing rims. Fourcorner Coil-Over with shortened struts and Bilstein Strut InsertsApparently these rims are not made anymore. Has anyone got any ideas on a good place to start finding some???Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you are all sitting down comfortably. 4 rims will set you back US$2822...OMFG!!!!! Let the 911 drivers get these....geezz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ManyZs Posted March 13, 2002 Share #7 Posted March 13, 2002 I won't be easy if they don't make them any more. Did you check out their web-site? It's www.americanracing.com Click on passenger car wheels and it is on the second page. They have one called the Vortex that look quite a bit like these except they don't have as many spokes. And the Vortex are available in 4x4.50 lug pattern in 14x6 or 15x7's for $100 dollars or less manufacturers list price! Not too bad! BTW, didn't I say the BBS wheels would be expensive?????
