Yeah, 10.5" wide. I think it looks badass with the stock wheels... I have 1/4" of clearence with the 305s at the back.
Plus, I prefer investing $ into my engine instead of wheels. I just needed the tracation very badly, hence the reason for 305s with sticky R coumpound (Nitto NT555RII).

wow 305s. I honestly can't believe people widen stock rims, or any rims for that matter. There's no way that weld is perfectly done to properly distribute stresses. I think any part that is involved with keeping you on the road (brakes, tires, rims, suspension) should be of high quality. But that's just my opinion. Those rims do look pretty awesome though. And good luck with that new boosted engine.

It's apparently very safe, it's been done for years... If done correctly, the welds are actually stronger than the metal surrounding it. More info here: http://weldcraftwheels.com/

I finally got my wheels back. They were widened to 10.5" and I put 305s on them. That's for the rear of course. The built block is also in, that thing is going to be a real monster at 18psi. I still need to tune and tweak it...
Here are some pics comparing the 305s vs 245s:

cool. I would definitely want my wheels heat-treated after being welded to properly distribute any residual stresses. It doesn't look like they do that at weldcraft. That's just my personal view. I track my car so the last thing I need is a weld breaking while going around a corner at 100km/h. Those 305s would look pretty sick on a Z though.

Is that you Gian?
Nah....I loved the S2000 but it's a total different beast. It's more of a weekend warrior...focused machine. The Z is like a GT car....almost like a Porsche Carrera. It's great to look at, makes all the right sounds and is pretty comfy. I bought an 06 R6 as well. I'll post some pics of that soon.
May 29th is a S2ki track day....I'll be bringing the ride out on TMP.
