I love the T5, you are making a great choice. the only thing to remember with Advan is they use only full inch sizings for our bolt pattern, not 1/2 inch, so you need the more agressive offsets to match the +22 18x9.5 volks for example.

You will need spacers IMO to get an aggressive stance. though a +20 offset on a 9/10 combo isn't bad (it's basically what I have, though I do want it slightly more aggressive)

They only offer:

18 x 9.0 - 114.3 22/35/45

18 x 10.0 - 114.3 27/42

19 x 9.0 - 114.3 22/35/45

19 x 10.0 - 114.3 27/42

you will need a spacer for the +27 rear no matter what IMO, so order them along with the wheels. get a +10mm spacer.

 

and stick to the split five spoke... the multi spoke I have decided does not look right on a Z. (again, my opinion only)

 

Screw that... Just buy them.... They are seriously the sickest wheels I have seen on a Z... I think I want them for the Nismo........

 

thanks for all that info tom... you're the man.

not very many people have these wheels on the forum. that makes it really difficult to decide on a finish (they have several) since there's a lack of real-world pictures.

i'll have to skim through other car forums to see if i can find more pics of different colors.

 

Rob, the only set that I have ever found is on a orange gtr in black. And they look sick.

So...Nismospeed....where's my cash? haha

 

Oh oh. Are we going to have to place an APB!!!

 

your car is Magnetic black IIRC, and Advan offers: Bright Chrome, Shine Silver, Dark Silver Metallic, Bronze.

subdued, classic style: shine silver, dark silver

racier: bronze

flashier, stuntin' car: chrome (I like the chrome on this rim FWIW, and it's not actually 'chrome')

With Advans you will have to wait... a fairly long time if you decide on a color not in stock in the US, and the T5 is limited stock usually due to it's status. the Chrome is special order I saw on mackin's site.

here are the colors:

chrome


dark silver


bronze (almost a gold-bronze)


silver


here is the bronze (it isn't a very dark bronze) on a black NSeX:

 

That bronze is sick. But I think matte black would look good on Robs car.

 

that would look very good as well, but alas black of any color is not offered in the T5. though I am sure you could custom order it.

and also... all black is nice, but seems to get veery boring.

 

 

I saw them first...

Would you take credit cards?

 

Keep laughing. I had my blue flashers ready!

 

I am not feeling chrome on a car. Maybe for a SUV 2 years ago?
why are you getting rims without lips?

Just my opinion, but good luck with your choice.
