Re: 20" chrome alloys on black z8 pics

They went staright on, alough with such a low profile the tyre place had ALOT of difficulty getting the tyres over the rim.

The fitment was exactly the same as stock z8 wheels, I reduced the profile by 10% front and rear to keep the same rolling radius.

Re: 20" chrome alloys on black z8 pics

That's a lot of chrome. Better put on some shades for that one

Has it affected ride quality at all?

Absolutely beautiful! I love the car, especially with those wheels/tires. I bet the tire place had a heck of a time not damaging the wheels also while trying to mount those tires

Re: 20" chrome alloys on black z8 pics

Well done Russell,

I presume you elected the same rolling radius to maintain an accurate speedo for the high speed spells on the motorways

Cheers then,
Kevin
