I think you made a good choice. Those look much better on your Z. I have a SS and am seriously considering those wheels. Congrats.

New wheels look better, and the kit looks clean too. Are you happy with the fitment?

I like them but you need some BBK with those wheels. Otherwise they look too empty IMO.
I am considering the same wheels in Gunmetal or black OR else the GT-7's. Just curious, why dont you think the blacks work with the CS ?

yeah with your body kit I think the challenge would look better in either silver or gunmetal. The contrast of black wouldnt work with that kit. nice choice.

Those rims are beautiful, and they'd be on my Z if I had the money.

both rims are beautiful, but i'm a bigger fan of the gtcs (looks like i'm the minority). either way your car is still incredibly hot. i love the vertex kit, and gunmetal wheels.

I'm also a bigger fan of the GT-C's mainly because of the finish - I've really been turned off on gunmetal lately for some reason...

But they are still extremely nice and you're kit looks great... congrats!

Nice. What size tires are you running? Also offsets front/rear. And rubbing? If so, do you roll the fenders?
