Oh definitely they look nice. I really miss them. I wish I could've kept them so I can use them for tracking, but oh well.

The Stance will work perfect with these. Slam it!

O'RLY?

$700 each forged monoblock BBS wheels are *not* cheap. 20% tint all around, however, will cheapen a car.

you don't know your way around wheels do you? BBS are not cheap by any means, nor do they look cheap.

but as i always say, to each their own, everyone has their taste.

He sure fooled me.

I'm not saying they are cheap, but they did look cheap to me. Just giving my honest opinion. I'm sure he could care less.

probably the tire size and design of the wheel.

any wheel with a lip and curved spokes tend to look smaller.

anyone have pics of a 17/18 setup on a Z?

not yet but I have a couple pretty rare setups in mind. or at least not seen so much.

we will see. I would like to get a set of 18 inch TE37s but I doubt that is going to happen too cheap.
