I always wondered what these would look like. I was interested in them at one point....they are very reasonably priced for multipiece wheels...around $1700. I passed cause I thought a 275-35-19 rear tire would be too beefy for those thin spokes.
Looks alright.

Im actually dropped with the nismos kit but not very happy with the results, im thinking about going with the eibach prokit. The specs on the wheels are a bit off because i bought the ones with the stainless lips which only come in one offset. The rears are 19x10 with a 28mm offset and the fronts are 19x9 with a 42 mm offset. Right now i am barely clearing the front suspension arm (dont know what its called) but i ordered a set of 15mm spacers for the front last night.

id suggest 25 mm at least for the front. 15mm will still look tucked. I run a 8.5+0 and it sits flush with my eibach springs.

I'm not bashing so please don't take this the wrong way, but who the hell told you that a 42mm offset would fit correctly on the Z?

I bought the wheels off ebay from 2 day parts.com and the guy claimed they would but i knew they would be really tucked. they fit but as you can see they are super tucked in. I got these wheels with the stainless lip for what a set of normal machines lip g games go for. I figured throw on a set of spacers and be done with it. Just so you know i think its sort of counter productive to tell someone not to get offended then ask them who the hell told them to do this or that? I guess i can tell people from now on "don't take this the wrong way i think you are a smart dude, but you are a ****ing idiot". why didn't i think of that before... thanks for the tip
