Default New ZE40 Volks installed

Just had a set of 19" Diamond Dark Gunmetal ZE40's +33 8.5 and +22 9.5 put on my 2005 Powerlab ST Z wrapped in Pilot Super Sports. The other pictures are the old rims a sold to my friend. In case you are interested, these aren't a bad choice

Can't lose with LMGT4s. Whatever you do, wrap them in Michelins.

Daaaaaaamn Shorez! Back at it again with the Gunmetal ZE40s! (Ok enough of the E-Celeb play on words). With all seriousness I was actually looking at these exact same wheels just the other week on Ray's website and wondering how they would look on the 350Z. I must say they look fantastic!

Did you order them factory fresh from Japan or pick them up locally? How's the fitment with those offsets? Everything looking flush? (Can't really tell from the pics).

Also, are you able to run with TPMS sensors installed on these?

HA! Thank you

I got them direct from Mackin, I work for Nissan (corporate) and have a connection. I got black RAYS duranuts on the way (1.25, not 1.5's...oops) and it came with red stems. TPMS went over just fine and I used the red cap on there, looks sharp.

Fitment is excellent on the rear. It looks a bit recessed on the front, I have to check another Z to see if that is how it was before. It seems right though, just the angle throws me off.

Extremely happy with the purchase. I went 8.5/9.5 as those we my Nismo widths and i didn't want to risk having to roll the fender.

Very nice! Thanks for the info. I'm currently rolling on the 06-08 Nismo Wheels. Unfortunately Rays Eng. does not match the width and offset of these wheels for the ZE40s. (F= 18x9 +30mm , R= 19x10 +30mm). But I love the fitment of them, as you would expect from an OEM wheel option, they are perfectly flush without the need to fender rofl.

I know this thread is old but does anyone know if this car is daytona blue? Can't tell from the lighting if it's just darker.
