zguitar71 Posted October 31, 2005 Share #27 Posted October 31, 2005 I beg your pardon, oh purist crowd.....I happen to think 17" wheels on the early Z look terrific, provided a complimenting ride height. Vicki, you seem to have a negative obsession about (rubberband tires) low profile tires....each to their own but some of us like the more up-to-date look and performance they offer. Sorry, but that just my opinion. I think I get far more compliments on my Z with 17" wheels than I would if it had 14", 15", or 16". 17"s tends to look a bit progressive than the run of the mill 14", 15", or 16". Man I'll probably catch flack for this one!Well, here is some flack, but not from a purist point of view.I bet your car would handel better with a set of light weight 15"x7" wheel and some sticky 225/50/15's, compared to the same sticky tires with a lower profile on heavier 17" wheels. The extra bit of profilt on the 50 series tire can make an older Z handel better as well as the weight savings of the smaller wheel. I am not saying that 17's look bad, I think the right 17" wheel looks great (CCW, Kodiak racing wheels, Panasport C-8, ect), but the slotted mag looses it proportions (imo) when it is stretched to 17" Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/17805-have-you-seen-the-new-msa-mag-wheels/?page=3#findComment-143884 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DatsunZsRule Posted November 1, 2005 Share #28 Posted November 1, 2005 I just got my mini catalog last week too. They have shown them on there web site before that catalog came out. I think there really nice, but the 17's don't do it for me. Just my opinion.

CoastGuardZ Posted November 1, 2005 Share #30 Posted November 1, 2005 I like slots... old school type of cool. But sorry, I don't dig them in 17"... at least not on the Z... doesn't look quite proportional. I think slots in 16" would be about the biggest that would look right. 15's definetly look good.

RWD415 Posted December 12, 2006 Share #31 Posted December 12, 2006 Yea i think that if you are going for the old school vintage look the 15's are the way to go. I need some tips from you guys, if you got a second. I also have a set thats 14x6 and are not chrome, I cant decide if i should chrome the set or get them power coated black to match my car that is also black. i can go with the black and chrome or go with black on black. If anyone has any suggestions it would really help THANKS Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/17805-have-you-seen-the-new-msa-mag-wheels/?page=3#findComment-192384 Share on other sites More sharing options...
