Transformed the steering and a noticeable difference in acceleration

They are stunning! I imagine finding a set in the U.K. would be tricky! A local guy with a Pitcrew has a set I think.

Any pictures with the bullet wheels??

I've got some spacers which I was hoping to fit with my standard steels for now but the rotating mass thing never occurred to me so I might sell them on...

I have wheel lust now. Bonus points if you can find a picture of them on a 280Z for me

Edit - a quick Google found Diamond Racing Wheels in the US, which are worryingly cheap (I assume they weigh several tonnes):

Nowt special bud, MK2 interior (Was tan V Spec) 2.5 centre console, 2.5 door cards (work in progress) Bloody noisy Cobalt cat back with a stainless steel de cat, project M roll bar and a set of dual tech coilovers

Paint could be better

Personally for me the best thing about the car (other than driving) is it's pretty solid and only just over 60k on the clock.

Paid £300 for it about four years ago lol
