I know that bigger wheels are more popular now but I kinda like the standard look. Also gone with non runflats and the ride is hugely improved. :)

Nice looking wheels buddy!

There is nothing wrong with zeds that sit on 17inch wheels :thumbsup:. Actually this is a much more sensible proposition for daily driving. My coupe is fitted with 17s and I have no plans to upgrade to a bigger size. The only problem is that stock 17 wheels seem to sit a bit too far inside in the rear end.
Thank God who created man to create these cars :-)

Get some spacers on the car and push those wheels out, will look a lot better. Had my Coupe home 10mins before I put the spacers on from my old Roadster...they all need them imo

I like the ACS 2s but some tyre slick & 20mm spacers on the rear of those 17s would work a treat

Thanks for all the kind words. These wheels have a 9mm wider offset than the stock Z wheels. I'm happy where they are. :)

They don't look too bad at all.
I prefer 18s for summer, but have 17s for winter, much nicer ride!
