The stance and wheel size are really nice, but if the wheels weren't black the car would look a lot better.

Maybe it's just me, but since the car comes with a huge Silver door handles, non-silver wheels always look wierd.

Ralphus, If the wheels weren't black , then I would like it less. What could I do?
Part of my decision is the black on the trim, the door pillars and the black on the Z logo, plus I just like black wheels. The door handles do stick out. I wish they were smaller and body color, but then I would need red wheels.

i think it looks sick with the black wheels!
imo, i dont think it would look as good with silver wheels as it does with black wheels. not to take anything away from silver wheels, tho.

post more pix!

you completed the package perfectly with the black wheels. i'm not much for red cars, but that has to be one of the nicest Z's i have ever seen.

awesome wheels, perfect stance...and who wouldn't love 305's?

nicely done.

LOL, too many guys named Bob in here! Yes, you told me and I had faith, but I did have second thoughts about five times! We put one of the rears on the car before the tires were mounted, just to be sure, that bad boy stuck out about an inch, uh oh. Of course the suspension was fully extended, but I was really concerned then. I had to leave the car at the shop and saw the above pictures before the actual car. Needless to say I was stoked then and praising your name. It looks just like I hoped it would. The fitment is obviously spot on, thanks to you!
I haven't pushed it much yet, still trying to decide on suspension height and dampening. At this height I'll need some camber help at both ends. I think the rubbing I've had maybe the lower front airdam and not the tires, it has a freshly sanded look on the bottom

Nice Ferrari look. They tend to use black wheels on their red race cars.

Looks great !! Red with Black trim You should paint the door handles black I'm going with brushed aluminum door pillars to keep it silver and white.
