The style isn't bad, but the width and offset of the rims is all kinds of wrong. Even the stock 17's don't sit that far in.

If its an Enthusiast, they are NOT Brembo's my friend. They only came on the Track and Nismo Z's, unless somebody swapped them, but that does not sound like the case.

This is a good example of a bad offset. I didn't fully understand the big deal until this thread. This was a good learning experience for me and hopefully for the OP.

^They're stock calipers painted yellow. As for wheels if you're on a budget look into Rota wheels they are nice and aren't pricey.

Not sure what 'Everlast' is. Could be the pads, rotors, etc. I've never heard of Everlast so who knows what kind of crap he's lying about now. I wouldn't worry about the brakes at this point.

take a picture of your brake calipers right know, I want to see these so called everlast brakes.

Sell your rims to someone with a civic, interga and buy some stocks until you can afford a decent set of rims.

Hey raggae420, make sure you do some research before you purchase a set of wheels. As someone mentioned before Rota is decently priced but be aware that they are a replicating company. If you are on a budget I would recommend buying previously owned. If you have money to burn there are a plethora of choices from Volk, Work, Advan, etc. Your main criteria is width and offsets. A good range in width's for the front wheels is 9.0 to 9.5 with a +22 or lower offset. A good width for the rear would be 10 to 11 inches wide with a +22 or lower offset as well. You really can't go wrong if you choose something in those ranges. It all comes down to what look you want. I suggest you type in PikesPeakWhite Z's in the search bar here as they have many pics of Z's with a slew of different wheel options. Good luck.
