Thanks to shaneotool of this board who gave me a great deal on his wheels. Not exactly an original combination but I feel it works very well. Wheels are 8.5"/9.5" wide +22 offset all around. The weight savings on these vs the stock 18's was very obvious although I didn't weigh them. The car is dropped on Tein H-Tech springs. I feel it would look better a little lower with the 19's so coilovers will be my next big purchase.

 

Nice car; the rims don't look much different than stock -- just my opinion

Not that my rims look any different see

any camber problems? or did they put it close to specs?

 

Damn that looks sweet.

Congrats Nate! Looks great! How's the ride? Much stiffer? Improved performance?

 

No alignment problems although my front camber is right at the edge of factory recommendations at -1.1. My tires that I pulled off on the stock rims did have extra wear on the inside edges.

The ride is a little stiffer over rough surfaces but its not that much different from the stock 18's. Its hard to judge performance increase from wheels alone because I installed Hotchkis sways at the same time. The 245/35 and 275/35 Toyos together with the sways is a huge improvement over stock handling and grip.

 

Good choice..very clean and simple. I agree, needs to be lower though.. _Giovanni

 

wow, the colors in that last picture look SICK! I love TE-37's, but I don't think I could have them as my only set of wheels... just a little boring imo... but they are light and give off a nice JDM look, so they are definitely a keeper!

 

looks familiar----and good!

 

Love it! I can't wait until I can afford wheels for my car. (I'll be saying that for a while still)

 

Your car looks HOT!! The gunmetal TE37s look better on the G than the Z. Good choice!

 

Looks Hot man!

Volks are ugly.


j/k nice contrast

 

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. Thats what great about aftermarket wheels, they can totally change the look of the car depending on what you want. I agree its not for everyone and is somewhat subtle, but I am very happy with the way it came out.

tig488 - I think I have seen every pic you have ever posted. I wanted to see what they would look like and your car was a very good indication - sweet ride you got there.

Annual - I would but I live in Tucson and don't make it up that way too often. We are trying to set up an Arizona meet for either Oct 16 or 23. I will keep you posted if your interested in attending.

 

I almost got those exact same rims for my DG Coupe as well... Very nice rims IMO. I agree that the rims COMPLETELY change the look of the car...

Great pix!

 

DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HOTTTTTT

 

Looks good man - I'm glad you like them.

 

Nice....
