Black wheels do go very well on the lighter silver cars. What springs do you have it looks pretty low?

These wheels are 19 inch but the car came lowered on eibach springs.im currently looking to buy some new wheels but im seriously considering going back to 18's with the original tyer sizes.no particular reason as ive only ever driven one of these cars on 19's and it drives fine.I just figured that the car should be on the size rims and tyers it was designed to be on.i may be putting some oz racing alleggerita hlt wheels on as there supposed to be very light or maybe some vossen cv3 style wheels. Its what to go with, performance or style.do lighter alloys make that much of a difference to the cars performance?

hi all. I have the atomic csl reps, not by coincidence as I am currently driving thmas's car! a couple of the roundels are starting to get tatty, and I've been looking online to find out the right size, I've seen people saying 68mm or 70mm depending on the brand of reps. Anyone have any idea on the size for the atomics? I'm away from my car, before anyone says go measure them.

I have CSL style reps with decent tyres and the car drives 100%, not a hint of wobble at any speed OEM are a joke with cracking issues and I've not heard a bad thing about reps.

CM Wheels Riva DTM 18" CSL reps. Concave rear. Standard silver. They drive exactly the same as the genuine MV2's which were on before.
19's probably would have looked better but didn't want the extra weight and possibly upset the ride quality. Very pleased.

Hi,

I'm considerering a similar change. Currently running standard 17" rims. I would appreciate your input, should I replace current with 18" or 19" rims. My Z is Alpine White so would black replacement be acceptable.

Thanks in advance

I have Riva DTM's on my 3.0. I know lots of people have reservations about replica wheels due to the cheap nasty crap that comes over from the far east. The DTM's come with TUV certification and look very well made. I've covered 6000 miles and two track days, they still look amazing and there are no signs of impending doom. Big thumbs up from me.

TUV approvals means f**k all in uk because nothing is regulated here anyway , seller can print anything just to please buyer . Try to pass mot in Germany with same wheels and you will find out that your tuv certificate is fake .

Out of interest, where are you getting your information? Are you saying that Riva's approval certificate is fake? The only reason that I ask is that I checked the company out and their approval cert, it all tallied up when I bought the wheels this time last year.
