My new wheels, Axis Supermesh
245/35/19 on 19x8.5 40 offset in the front
275/35/19 on 19x9.5 45 offset in the rear
...or is that switched? I get it confused, anyhow, those are the two offsets.
I'm real happy so far. The Z is turning even more heads than usual now.
Pics are heavily compressed, so the quality is not great, but as a result this thread is not too dialup unfriendly.

sorry the last one looks like crap, I'll fix it when I get home from work. I had to edit it with Microsoft's horrible image editor to blur out my plate.

Those are hot, I nearly ordered them a while back and then I kept changing my mind and finlayy settled on a different wheel. Looks like you made a good choice, especially for the SB.
Nice color combo, looks classy and still retains some aggression.

Thanks ColecatZ, that's just about what I was looking for. I think it's a very timeless "classic race wheel look" with that aggressive through function kind of a look thrown in 
They are a knock off of the RH C4s basically, not exactly, but real similar. Those are what I really wanted, but I don't have $800-1000 per wheel to spend

Great looking wheels Rob, congrats!
But I'm curious......... Why did you go with such H I G H Offsets?
One of the biggest reasons I'm installing new VOLK GT-7's is because of this very thing. My current MODA's are also +40, but looked fantastic on my Lexus GS400!
Notice how much of your beautiful wheel and nice tires are tucked up under the car. Now of course, you may have wanted this look.

Yes Vizion, I'll be there.
Thanks for all the praise folks, I'm glad everyone else likes them too.
I got them from www.spyeng.com Hey Ya. Some people have had some bad experience with them I guess, but they seemed good overall to me. There were a couple of delays, but I consider that par for online ordering, and from what I hear about wheels, getting my wheels a week and a half after ordering, with tires mounted, is pretty damn good.
TXSTYLE, that is the only offset they offer in these wheel sizes. I imagine they do it to keep their costs down, as they are a very reasonably priced wheel. A lot of people voiced concern about the offsets when these first came to the market, saying they were no good for 350s because of that. I saw pics, and was sold. I do not like the 20-25 offset look, and 30-35 seems dead on. They look nice from a quarter view and side on the 20-25s, but look plain weird from the back and front to me personally. I like the fact that they are a little less tucked than stock, and that's good for me. I won't lie, price was a huge factor in this purchase. These were the wheels I liked the best, that I could justify spending. I got the wheels and tires at my door, tax, shipping, all expenses, for a hair over $2500. Optimally some 30s offsets would have been my choice, but these look far from tucked to me, just less flush
