My boy has these on his RSX, looks good on a FWD, but I dont think the lip is deep enough, for me at least.

Since you did ask for opinions...

I'm not feeling those wheels, especially on a Zed.

I almost bought a set for my Z at one time, but the 18s only come in 40 offset.. That +25 should look good. Not everyone is in to the Super-Deep Dish look.

Should look good, but unfortunately on this site if it's not Volk, Racing Hart, Nismo or Ro-Ja it's hard to get compliments on anyhting else from owners....if you like it, go for it man...

Yeah this site is basically biased towards these brands for what ever reason. But if people want to spend $500 per wheel then go for it i have better things to do with my money. Now with that being said I have Bronze nismos on my ride but got the set for $1325 shipped. Its all about what you like and your personal style, just be sure to post pics so we can check them out.

All of the Companies you mentioned above make Top Tier Sports Car Wheels, that is why they are so Popular,

I Think a lot of Folks feel that Konig is a Bottom Tier Product for Quality and appearance. The Costs pretty low, Even for a their flagship "Unknown" wheel that you have, at $250 for a 19 and $150 for an 18". That is about half the price of many top tier wheels. I think their quality is still better than Excel wheels or even ADR, but again, they are low cost wheels. On the bright side, you can buy 8 wheels and have a complete spare set for the price of the top teir product.

Another thing that gets people are FWD vs RWD wheels. In all honesty, a +25 offset wheel with a Dish (the 19" Unknows) are as close as you can get to a RWD type wheel, so I dont know why folks are ripping you there.

Here is another Thread with a Guy getting Ripped over those same wheels.
