heres another picture I found of the rims

 

Here's some pix of the guy who works for vqmotoring. Not sure if he's the owner but here's his car with the Ruff 280s in size 20s.

will these clear brembos?........cbr, is ur car lowered?
is it just me or do these rims look like they might need spacers, push it from +20 to maybe a 17?

 

oh, and can u get 279's in 20?
are those 280 painted black from the manufacter or do you think he painted those on his own?

 

never heard of them but they look awesome!

 

The 280's come in black with chrome lip as pictured and mercury silver. Not sure if they come in white. Not too shabby. I don't know if they make Ruffs in staggered offsets for 17 inch size. As for the 18 and up, they should clear brembo. Look on page one of this thread, Westpaks car has the brembo's and it clears with the 18 inch rim with 20 offset.

The lip is polished, if you want chrome you have to get the whole wheel in chrome. Other colors are Black, Silver and Hyperblack like mine. As mentioned they clear Brembo's as with mine with 18's and 20 offset.

 

Bought these for my Z from my buddy. Thier Ruffs...he hasnt had a problem with them yet and their very nice in gold powdercoat. As you can see, they also clear Brembo's.

 

Hi,
the wheels will clear the Brembos if you purchase them in +20 offset. On my Z, (orange one) no spacers on 6 piston brakes needed.

Thanks,

 

the 279s do not come in 20". The black 280s come like that from the manufacture.

 

$900 for 4 wheels? Those are some cheap wheels. Hell, some limited edition volks retail for $900-$1200 a piece but you can get them super cheap (like ~$650 a piece) from vendors here. When i think of Ruff i think of Porsches and high end stuff i wonder if they have a seperate co that makes low end stuff too?

 

different company Ruff versus Ruf

 

haaaaaaaaaaaaa thanks man that is way too funny though, my bad

 

I just purchased a set of the 278's in hyperblack, 8.5, 9.5 X 18 +20. ($690 shipped)Unfortunately, I haven't received them yet. The opinions on other, non-Z forums seem to be good. I haven't seen many Z opinions, though. Anyone? (I can give you the run-down on what they look like out of the box in a few days.)

 

Have a set of 279's that have been on my Z for about 2 years.

I love the look, but have had a problem keeping them clean from the first day.

Put 2 coats of wax on them before mounting, and immediately noticed water spots after the first rain. It is almost as if the spotting is below the clear coast on the lip, because the painted portion is perfect.

This has been a re-occuring problem, and literally have to clean them with wheel wax every time I wash the car...but spots still remain.

This spring, I'm going to see if I can remove the clear coat on the lip, and re-spay the clear coat.

 

I cant get the brake dust off the lip on mine. Im trying to find someone to polish and clear them.
