An NZ 75 with 20" wheels - Page 2

Obviously its each to there own but i really dont like those wire wheels, far to old school. Why put old looking wheels on a car thats modern, it aint no e type but visually were all different

The 20" wheels would look much better without the chrome, now that is far to much

I had 72 spoke chrome wire wheels on my C GT they were a nightmare to keep clean a nightmare to fit tyres to (inertube required) and a nightmare to balance! I loved them, they looked great and were worth all the hassel. I used the car as my every day transport so I had to keep them covered in WD40 all winter, that was fun to clean off in spring, NOT.

My view:

The wire wheels look fantastic on the 75, add to the classic retro look of the car.

The 20-inch rims - the car looks great, I personally think the weeks look awful - horrible design, too shiny and too big for the car.

Red pimpmobile - not as bad as the 20inch rims, but fairly ugly - last time i saw anything like those they were in Richard Keel's gob in a bond movie.

That is straight 'Gangsta', you would have to go out and smoke some homies in that bad boy, love the rims...

20" wheels - it could work, but I don't like chrome wheels, and I think they've over done the lowering. Looks as though the suspension has collapsed.

Before we traded our 75 in for the ZTT, I was thinking of fitting ZT suspension and ZT 18" wheels to it - a combination that would look both standard, but with a twist.

Has anyone done this? I am sure that someone must have?

The listing says it's a 'LTD Club Edition' , whatever that is. I'd say it's a Singaporean import; they tend to come with leather regardless of the optional extras.

As for my opinion of the car, don't get me wrong, I'd never do this to my car. But as far as boy racer cars go & with bling being the current tread, I can see how this car would appeal.
