Well I'm gonna put in an order for a set of wheels in a couple of weeks, but I can't decide what to get, but I narrowed the list down to 2 sets of wheels.

1. Weds Sport SA-70 in the BLC(blue/black chrome) 18x9 +20F, 18x10 +18R

2. Volks CE28N Mag Blue 19x9.5, 19x10.5 +12 all around.

Which set of wheels should I get, but right now I'm leaning more towards the weds because no one has them in those specs yet, and because I would save like a grand, and not to mention cheaper tires. Cause dam why are choosing rims so dam hard.
what color is your car? I've seen the CE's in MB and they look SICK....

But like you said...going with the Weds will give you rareness points....decisions decisions....

GL oh choosing...

I was gonna say Wedssport, but for offset's sake mag blue CE's. If they offsets for the CE's were +22 then obviously my recommendation will be the SA-70.

^Yeah that's what people have been telling me go with the Volks, but I don't know something about the weds just does it for me and the offsets are as aggresive as they will go, but I'm worried that I'll regret getting another set of 18's instead of 19's.
And the price gap is brutal to, 1500 for weds, 2800 for volks. The bad thing for both sets is that they will each take about 8-12 weeks "special order".

Get the Weds, and use the $1300 you saved for coilovers so you can slam it!

Get the volks. Don't go 18's with dark colors. Makes the wheels look tiny. + Mag blue CE's are sick to begin with and the +12 offset makes it even sexier.

The Z will be slammed before I even get the rims, so no prob in that area.
My main concern is camber, and tire life

Well if anything you'll have camber issues with either choice.
If you go with Weds you're gonna have to lower it even more to look good, which equals to more negative camber.
If you go with the CE's you'll have to put some neg camber and roll the fenders just to have it fit especially if it's slammed.
Camber kit is definitely needed either way.

+1. Also with the 18 on top of being slammed you will scrape everything. Ask deviljon how fun it is to drive a slammed Z hahaha. We don't see him anymore because of that.
