Whens the new wheels then?
Why change them?
Bigger wheels will give a harsher ride and the added mass will mean an increase in unsprung weight.
Oh I get it, they'll look better. :roll:
Nice car by the way.

Yes. Infinitely better.
Theres also a '53 blue ZR parked outside a big house in Petersham that I pass everyday, hasn't moved for ages.... 
New wheels aren't on the agenda just yet guys, gotta let Mrs and the kids and the dog get over the old family Volvo.
They're also a little concerned that I've started to talk about car cleaning products. In fact, I'm a little concerned too :wink:
Hardtops - do they spoil the 'line' ?
should I :-
a) squeeze Z into an already tight garage and piss family off with access to bikes etc?
b) splash out the £1000? for a hard-on for the winter?
c) get a good quality (roof or whole) car cover ?
d) do none of the above, as the standard rag top is perfectly capable of coping with a British winter and I'm just being an old woman?
(leaves are falling onto my precious AS I TYPE

)Hi and welcome. I personally don't like the hardtop but many people praise them around here. I don't think you really need a cover as the rag-top is pretty well insulated.
