Default Ace Zeus wheels

Does anyone seen that wheel in person ?
Is it painted ? Could I polish it even more for better shine ?<ul><li><a href="http://www.wheelspecs.com/specs/wheelmodels/2344">http://www.wheelspecs.com/specs/wheelmodels/2344</a</li></ul>

Default Haven't seen them in person, but.... (WWJD... WWJD... WWJD)

I followed the link you provided to the ACE website. Where I found the Zeus wheel. It is available in an 18x8.5 with a 5/112 bolt pattern and an ET of 35. If you like shiny, it is also available in chrome. Just make sure the wheel is hub centric and get (i think) 15mm spacers and longer bolts fom Hartmann - call em, they'll know what you need. Just takes a little research.

Please note: I hope I'm right on this. I've been thinking about new wheels, and I've been keeping my internet ears open, researching the archives, and reading other peoples posts. ;-)

Good luck.<ul><li><a href="http://www.hartmannwheels.com/site/">http://www.hartmannwheels.com/site/</a</li></ul>

Default Looks like this on an allroad.....

Not the ace lola but the Enkei LM1. Very similar looking wheel without the fake 3 piece looking bolts. These wheels are available in both 8x8 and 18x9. I use the 9" version for track use.

Gives you an idea of what they look like on an allroad:

Default You are 100% correct- would require a 15mm spacer at minimum, but

20mm would be preferred.

Default nice wheels!

I remember you posting them once before... so far this is one of my favorites for the allroad. Mind telling us where you got them from?

Verry Bippo! I'd join the Japanese mob for a set of those. What car wouldn't they enhance?

Default dag'nabb'it!

Looked them up on Discount Tire... They want $323 each now and only list chrome as the available finish. Looks like *** in chrome

Default actually call them, they may have other finishes not listed on site sometimes

and non-chrome would less in price
