Default Finally got new wheels for my Z!

After a few years of owning my Z I decided to get some new wheels for her. What do you guys think?

Enkei NT03+M

18x9.5F +27, 263/35/18 BFG KDW NT
18x10.5R +30, 295/35/18 BFG KDW NT

I can't believe how much of a difference this setup made with my Z, it feels like it is planted to the road now. I was worried about rubbing at first but it doesn't look like it's going to be an issue (rear is pretty close).

Just wanted to say thanks to Luke at DTD for giving me a great deal, and a thanks to Jason@Performance for answering all of my questions regarding his old setup.

Thanks! I think if I put spacers on I would have some serious issues, they almost rub now!

Those wheels are hot! Very light as well. You see these wheels all the time at time attack events!

Keep it up.

Thanks for all of the nice comments guys! I'll grab some pictures of the rear dead on later today.

@CaliTouring - I do believe I paid about $300 per wheel.

@Jason021174 - it's part of the wheel designed to be a support ring.

EDIT: Picture of the rear dead on.
