If anyone has any more upclose picutes of these rims please post them. I cant find any other than the ones the good man from England posted.

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.

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,

$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?

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.)

LIP Problem
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.
