    zender turbos - - - should i go 15z??? :-S

    hey guys...whats your opinions on the Zender Turbo rims?
    i have a friend with a e30 325 that had the zenders on it when he got it, ..he just went 17z and said i could have the zenders for 150 bux....
    they look pretty trick when they polished and i guess for 150 bux i cant go wrong...anyone else here with zenders or an opinion on them????
    Cheers, Benny

    I quite like the look of the turbos. altho i think a 16" rim is nicer on a mk2
    But i think u should pass them up and your friend should sell them to me

    You sure are a kind man Tim, generous to the core.

    For $150 bux, buy them and then see what happens. No big investment. I think that they are cool.

    Price is good, I got a set for the ex's Caravelle for $200, they came of a Merc.. ( 112 x 5 pcd) one had a bit o damage to it tho..
    Lots of MK 1 Scirocco's...

    If it aint a MK 1 then it must be a donor car ??

    Cheers,

    yeah..ill get them on and post some pics up.
    i think with 15s it mite need a very slight drop in ride height.
    im running Koni springs n struts, but still sits about 20mm too high in the front even with 17s.......
    ill keep you lot posted

    Got the Zenders tonight heres a quick pic (in the dark)
    the discoulored bits polish off, and ill give em a bit of a clean up tomorow.
    no gutter bashes or marks in them anywhere...however they have 205/55 tyres and it scrapes a fair bit now cause they stick out furthur than the 17s......looks very fat from the front and rear now.



    ill get some more pics in the daylight ......

    get some 195/50x15s once i get them polished up professionaly

    They will look good with a bit of professional polishing Look forward to seeing more pics of them when they have been done

    I've been cleaning up these for a MK1 old skool project! A set of old skool Simmons

    195's aren't really wide enough imo. Toyo T1-R 205/45/15. Nice wheels although they always looked better without TURBO emblazened on the side...
