New wheels on

[Smartbear]

Swapped my wheels over for the 290's this morning, felt noticeably lighter while juggling with them & the drive was a revelation, less road noise and a magic carpet ride!
Much less crashy and now floats over damaged roads-I can recommend this wheel swap
The zeds filthy from muddy country lanes now, very pleased though.

Sounds like a good move - look ok too

Hmmmm.....not what we want to hear.... :lol:

Are you going to stick to 18’s full time then Mr B?

 

[Marlon]

I thought they were winter wheels?

 

[mr wilks]

17s always going to feel comfortable Rob , , like a old pair of slippers

 

[Maniac]

I think 35i/is are min 18” due to larger brakes... AFAIK

They started off that way, I might have to be forced into removing them :?

They’re actually 17’s, but Size doesn’t matter-right?

Interesting feedback OP.

I must get around to fitting my non-RFT winters on my Z. :roll:

 

[srhutch]

They are ok as a winter wheel.

I’d get those 19’s chased up :wink:

My winters are even titchier at 16" but the tall 50mm profile, as ur experiencing Rob, turns it into a zed that has air suspension :lol: very comfortable, dials out all the jitteryness and crashyness. A smidge wallowy in the twistys perhaps but a joy to drive.
I must be getting old. Like Fred. :lol:

 

[SteveSmith]

Sorry Rob, you can’t keep them on all year round! They’re not doing the car justice!

I look forward to seeing it on 19’s! Love the colour of yours

Hey Rob,
Ive got the same wheels as winters! Bought them on a German ebay site with Pirelli winter RFTs, so maybe the ride won’t be as magic carpet as yours is!
Gonna fit them this week, even though I know here in NE Scotland it will be 20 degrees all week as that is the law whenever I fit winters on my cars.....
