What a difference a set of wheels makes

[Travel'n Man]

My first Z back in the late 70's was white with Red Interior - damn, I miss that car! The red interior is eye catching and really pops with the silver. Great colors you got going on Casey_z!

Love the wheels, and the car. My baby was born Silver with Red, but the original and previous owner painted the interior black, and the outside wine-red. Nice to see what she would have looked like.

so I'm currently researching a new set of wheels, I was primarily looking at the weight of the wheels but during my research I came across a number of articles that would imply that 250g's off a set of wheels would make a minimal difference.

Love that interior!! I am so doing this after I get all this transmission nonsense straightened. I was looking for an excuse redo all the plastic in the rear of my car.

The red interior really offsets the silver exterior and "pops". Always a great combo.

Mine started-out silver w/ red, but the red interior was badly faded, and in some panels were sun damaged and cracked beyond repair.

Red interior parts (at that time) were hard to find, so I decided to duplicate the black & grey interior I did on my previous white Z. It's a bit mono-chromatic, but I like it!

You have a great looking car! (And I even like the color...)

Thanks for the comments.

It was pictures of silver cars like Zedyone's and Oiluj's that inspired me to go with the original silver when we did the body.

Kind of a clone thing going on in different parts of North America.

Cheers everyone and we really would like some spring weather over in Ontario.

Nice looking wheels and the red does look good with silver.

Back to the wheels: What wheel width and offset do you have? I have a set of 15x7" with zero offset coming and was planning on a 195/60HR15 Bridgestone Potenza all-season tires. Might consider a 205 or 225 width if you don't have any issue with rubbing.

They 15x7" 0 offset with Toyo Proxes 4 225x50x15".There are no issues with clearance.

Zedyone - are all of the parts available to chnage the interior to red? belive the plastic parts are available in red from MSA but what about the seat covers and door panels?

thanks

You could always use SEM vinyl dye if you can't find the panels in the colors you want.

Casey -- Thanks for the info! I may consider larger sizes.
