Anyone feelin these wheels?
 
My wheel distributor who I placed my TE-37's with suggested I take a look at these wheels as well since he will be getting them in the same time... Volk GT-C's, lightweight 2-piece I believe... come in 19" and the proper offsets for the Z. What do you guys think?

I love those. Wonder what they go for? If they are too pricey think they have knockoffS?

Pretty good-looking if you ask me. They look a damn sight better on that Z than when someone tried to photoshop them on a few weeks ago.

And I'm really loving that black stripe down the side of that Z-

Those look nice, but I wonder how much of a penalty in weight over stock you will suffer? Those wheels would be good in showing off Track Brembos though.......

I am definitely feelin those wheels. I am thinking of going with the Gunmetal on my Chrome Silver Enthusiast.

D@#n it, just when I convince myself I wasn't going to get new wheels, you post this. Those are some of the nicest wheels I've seen on the Z yet. Now I have to save up and get some :D

:icon04:

Definitely a thumbs up. I have a set on order but in 18's for my G35 Coupe. 18X8 in the front, 18X10 in the rear. 18's are out of stock until Nov 15.

The cost with SO3's come up to a little over 3k.

SuperG got the last set thru Wheel Warehouse. I ran into him there last week while he's getting them installed.

You guys are sick...you should not be feelin' up inanimate objects like that...

Hmm really really look at those volks. They look like they have fatter spokes and less rivets in that picture I attached.

Sure those on that Z arent knockoffs (prays haha).

wadd3456 11-10-2002 10:43 AM

Dang these look close too. If you took off the center cap!

The GT-C's from Volk are also on the blue Greddy 350Z, with gunmetal centers...

In terms of weight and cost, I believe they're about the same price as TE-37's, and weigh about 22 lbs in 18" and 24 lbs in 19" so still lighter than the stock18"'s by a good amount.

Well, lighter than the NISSAN 18" at 26 pounds. The Ray's forged six spoke are still lighter than the GT-C's at 16+ pounds. :) :) :)

Where the heck are you guys getting these weights from?

The wheels on the CS are not GT-C's(look at the center cap, center holes, and number of rivets between spokes). The wheels on the DB are GT-C's. I got a quote for 19" GT-C's from Monkey Man. He has pretty good prices on them. I might buy them from him when my Z gets in.

wadd3456 11-10-2002 04:21 PM

Ive mentioned they are NOT GT-Cs on the CS. What ARE they is the question? IF they ARE knock-off's they are sure are nice!

What did monkey man quote you? Do have you have his email addy?

Zeromancer 11-10-2002 07:53 PM

Sorry, but the icon under your username scares the CRAP out of me...:eek: :( :eek: :(

Mommy? Mommy, where are you?:confused:

g35cDude what size tires
 
are you putting on the front and rear? Why didn't you go with 18X8.5 on the front and are you sure that the 10's on the rear will not rub? I hope not because I was thinking about getting wider wheels on my Z.

I'm going by the recommendations that Wheel Warehouse in Anaheim recommended. If there's any problems, Ill let you know.

Phatmitzu 11-10-2002 10:07 PM

Not bad looking...but I will stick with the TE-37s, keep it oringinal.
