Those rims are sweet.

I wish i could afford new wheels. The best I can do is powder coat the stock rims to get a darker color.

They only cost me $800 for the rims and shop around for some tires. There are a few bronze sets for sale now on craigslist

Well, you know what they say.....

If your not in first.....then you lost !

Somebody has to be number 1.

I actually like alot of non-Volk styles.

I was on a pre-order list for those for a long time. Money situation changed so I didn't get them, but am really close to ordering a set now. I guess I'd have to sell my P45Rs first though.

I like the Grids alot too, but after scrutinizing them over and over I realized I like them best on cars like the STi. IMHO P45Rs look best on the Z because they're 5-spoke.

Chris,

Those look pretty good. Any more info on them? Specs/sizes/prices?

edit: If you are looking for a ROTA wheel for the Z you need to contact Wheeldude. He has everything that fits the Z.

Exactly. Some Rota wheels are not offered in sizes that are Z friendly. Wheeldude.com has everything that will fit the Z properly.
