Hey Mid-A,
Need your opinion on some wheels. I want to buy either the Ruff Racing 280 or 281 in the 20" Staggered setup in Black for my 05 LS. I like the 281 better but these wheels have not even been made yet and Status wheels says that it will take 2 months, but I have heard this before since the Ruff Racing 279 has not got here and I heard the wait is 1 and 1/2 years and counting!!!! I know a vendor that will give me a good price on these wheels, Vqmotoring1 (Rickie), however I am afraid of how it will look without a big brake kit since I won't be able to afford it (big brake kit). Please give me your opinions on these wheels, I really do like the Ruff Racing 280, because it is like the TSW Thruxton which is my favorite, so I would definently buy them. Here they are on a Z.

Ruff Racing 280



Ruff Racing 281

 

yup, 281 is cool

 

+1 for the 281

 

Not sure, on the fence. Have you checked out the new TSW Nogaro wheels? Clean design.

 

280

 

So Chris, you like the 280, I am debating this. Ruff Racing isnt making the 281, which I like better than the 280 until 2 months, but who really knows, the 279 has been out for a year and a half so I don't know. So mixed feelings so far, but thats the opinions I like because right know I am either way also.

 

280, if you like the thruxtons, why dont you get them? i used to have 19" thruxtons on my last Z and am now looking for 20s for my current Z and am considering the 20" thruxtons but they are really heavy, is that why your getting them?

 

280,s

 

i like the thruxtons as well, why not get them?

if its between those two tho, the 281 then 280, but they both look good.

 

Dont worry about the big break kit. With a little shopping or some extra effort, you can get your current roters drilled and slotted, then paint/change the calipers. Look at Robbies with the 20"s. It makes the wheels look that much bigger imho!

 

I'ma have to say 280's.

 

Normally Im a fan of less spokes, but the 280 looks almost exactly like a pretty common foose wheel. I'd go with the 281's.

 

If you like the 281's you may like the 277's
