I am looking to buy a set of new wheels for my z.
I've almost desided on Enkei Kojins, but then suddenly found this local guy who is selling a set of Work XT7 really cheap - like 600 bucks.
They are R18 / 8,5, et 32.
I was able to find only 2 or 3 threads on my350z about z with this type of wheels and all of them were written like 10 years ago...
Looks like XT7 are not so popular.
Could you please explain me why?

Would also like to mention that I am located in Ukraine and it is very hard to buy decent wheels here...
What do you think: should I go with Enkei Kojins for 1200 shipped from USA, or should I buy Work XT7 for 600 locally?

offsets arent optimal, i would get something along the lines of

18x9.5 +15 on all corners, or

18x9.5+15 front
18x10.5 +15 rear

Yep, I see.
But I may use them with 20 mm spacers which I currently run with my oem wheels.
What do you think about wheels themselves?
Is this good choice for z?

Just get spacers for the stock wheels. Those wheels aren't special

Thanks for the input guys!
"Aren't bad looking" and "aren't special" - that is why XT7 aren't so popular with z crowd I guess)))

When the work XT7 came out, a lot of people didn't think that they looked good. Especially when there were so many other two lettered, 1-number wheels from work. And those other wheels looked a lot better. So, nobody bought those wheels. Not to mention, ten years ago, the real wheel movement had JUST started so a lot of people didn't want to spend a lot of money on wheels that they would have to overnight from Japan. Work wheels, at the time, were for Super Street builds and guys who won trophies at Hot Import Nights and NOPI. So, don't take it personally. Get the wheels. Ball out.

Thanks for input, driftsucky.
I won't take it personally)
I had time to see the wheels today and try them on car.
Travlee and iideadeyeii were both absolutely right: too many "aren't" about them...
Will post pictures later - left my camera at office.
