Default New look for my Z!

After a few years of having Volk SF Winning, one of my all time favorite wheels for the Z, I decided to go a for a simpler and more aggressive look by joining the Volk GTS camp. These mercury silver wheels really changed how the car looks. I love the huge lips and how the brightness of the wheels set off the Silverstone exterior.

Big thanks to Rick at Status for cutting my fenders late at night and selling me his mechanic's Tein wrenches so I can raise the car a bit

I got up too late this morning to take good pix...the sun here in Socal was already beaming. Oh well, here they are:

Looking good! I too will be changing the wheels up soon, but not 100% sure yet. Did you end up just selling the Winnings or do you still have them? I love the car you already know that

I agree with the mercury silver being a better choice than the gunmetal from before. I've got a few ideas for my next wheels, but am scared that they wont be as hot as the SF's.

Man do you know how long i've been waiting to see a Z with an INGS LX kit and Volk GT-S's?

Very clean...it looks absolutely gorgeous.

I plan on taking this route with my Z. The only problem is I don't have it yet! Argh...

Hi Ravi, wazzzup!!! Yeah I was getting tired of the dark rims on a dark colored car. I still think SF Winnings are one the all time best wheels for the Z! I'm planning to sell the Winnings as soon as I get some pix. Knowing your excellent taste I can't wait to see what you come up with next!

Here are the specs:

Front 9.5 +17 255/35/19
Rear 10.5 +18 275/35/19
