I'm sorry man I don't have them yet. I had to order them due to fact that they are chrome. So I will not have them for about 60 days. On top of that my car is still on order so even if they came I couldn't mount them. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

that's ok... i was just a little curious about what the stance of these HP's look like on a Z. the zenetti wheels which look the same as the HP's on the convertible were really tucked into the wells. i've seen the SF's on plenty of Z's and the stance looks perfect... but according to that calculator which takes your exsisting measurments in with the new and recalculates everything. the HP's are suppose to stick out just slightly past stock.

this is the offset calculator link...

Don't you want them to stick out a little bit?

I like both, so no help there, but I do have a word of warning. I have similar mesh wheels on my 2000 turbo beetle, which rivals the 350Z inthe amount of brake dust the front wheels spew.

The mesh look is hard to beat when the wheels are clean, but my wheels are impossible to keep clean (a mere brushing does little) and very difficult to get clean once I screw up enough courage to try.

Bottom line: I'll never buy mesh wheels again, no matter how good they look.

I do want them to stick out. Just a little past stock, but if they stick out to much then you're going to hit the outside fender lip with the tire...


jam350,

thanks for the warning... i appreciate it. the dust does stick to those rims! i found if you have the time to give them a quick cleaning every weekend it's not to bad. but i have 7 spoke stocks right now.

i appreciate the VOTES and Opinions everyone!
