what you guys think, 20" DONZ LUCIANOZ on a yellow 350z...? dont like the idea of a yellow z with chrome rims... hmm maybe powered coat it black, with chrome lips?

 

Those rims look horrible regardless of the color of the car

 

I personally don't mind 20's since I have them myself but I think the style on that doesn't go with the sporty look of the Z. Just not my cup of tea but to each his own.

 

20s look good on a z.. but those look horrendous

 

The liberals in Frisco won't even accept it.

 

I can understand if you like the look of it, although I disagree there. But chrome wheels are heavy. That's unsprung weight, which is especially bad. And the greater weight and size (more weight near the edges) coupled with rotational velocity multiplies the faster you drive. So you'd just be flushing the whole sports car aspect down the toilet.

 

Does that thing have air bags or some type of lowering suspension on it? It looks tight to def but can you really drive that car like a sports car without rubbing?

 

yeah, those wheels are pretty godawful in that pic.....I'd expect to see them on a '79 Caprice but not on a Z

 

Are you sure those are only 20's? they look more like 22's to me.

 

IMO, looks like something you would see on "Pimp my ride."

those are doo doo.

but on a side note, why does everyone say that chrome wheels are heavy. that is not a true statement. although a chrome wheel would never touch the hubs of one of my cars, they are no heavier than painted or powdercoated wheels. chrome is an electroplating, and only a few mils thick. it is probably not a coincidence that the chrome wheels come in ridiculous styles, which look (and probably are) heavier. they typically look like snowflakes. it is the style, and not the plating that make them heavier.

 

Yeah I have to agree not my style, but hey if you like it then that is all that maters.

 

Maybe on a 300C, not a sports car.

It's like putting lightweight racing wheels with R-compound tires on an Escalade. It's just pointless. Get the right car if you want to follow the DUB trend.

 

You might not make it alive driving through the ghetto.

 

yuck

 

Check out the new Volks and Maya. They are stylish more than sporty and we won't tease you.

 

THat pic is photoshopped and they look horrible.
