Thanks guys for all the nice comments. Probably won't add the spacers this weekend, I'll probably wait till it gets warmer out...as for big brakes I think not. I don't plan on going to the track and the regular brakes are pretty reliable for everyday driving. Besides that...All my cars only get 3 upgrades: Tint, Wheels and stereo system.
Comment to TXStyle: The more I look at your wheel choice the more shocked I am. Multiple/spaghetti spokes on a Z just doesn't look right IMO. Maybe if I saw it in person I would like them but in every picture I've seen I really have been wondering what made you pick those.

Not only did I know they would look AWESOME on my car, it is reconfirmed almost daily by enthusiasts, valets, and passer-bys alike. So to your comment all I can say: "It's All Good Baby!"

ZZTOPP,
Here's a picture of SSR's on a Track model, they are 19's. I don't know the offset but I believe they are the same as JReed's.
Yes, they clear, barely without spacers.

Everything works like a charm, and my car stops on a dime and the brakes cool as if there was a fan down there! I will be installing the rear 'Big Brakes' as soon as they are made.

Couple of questions for jrreed...
I probably will prefer to go with a no-rivet look, but think the rims look great on your car! Good job!!!
- Was the choice to with 19s instead of 18s purely aesthetic or something else?
- From the pics, it looks like the rims match the door handles pretty well. This is one part of the look I am aiming for with aftermarket rims. Seeing them in person everyday, do you feel the GT3s are dead on with the door handles or do you think the silver-painted GT1s would match better?
- Did you transplant your tire sensors and, if so, how?

The wheels match the door handles perfectly, and having CS in color didn't hurt either. I'm a little biased to the GT1's because I prefer a lip. I have an Enthusiast model so no sensors...The spoiler fooled you huh...The choice to go with 19's where purely for looks. I' don't plan on dropping my Z and 19's are perfect.

You're thread is back from the dead!!!
As you know, I've all but narrowed down my wheel choice to GT1s or GT3s from SSR. Cleaning question for you (or anyone else with a wheel that has rivets around the outside)....
with the large amount of brake dust the stock brake produce (I have to clean my front wheels every two or three days), how difficult is to clean the GT3s, particularly around the outer edge?

Not that difficult at all. The trick is to never let it build-up. Every 3 months or maybe 4 I plan on taking the wheels off one by one and doing some deep cleaning. So far regular washing has done the trick. Inside of the wheel is the worse because the SSR's only have 5 spokes your can really see through to the inner portion of the wheel. If you plan on proper maintenance you'll be fine. Got a thubs up from a guy in a 02 Viper today. Made me cry....I gave him a wave goodbye...the secret signal for saying "I'm not stupid enough to race you".

You say that you have spacers, still in the box.
What size spacers will work good with your setup. I see that there is 5mm and 15mm availale in H&R hubcentric.
Would the 15mm be to much, or the 5mm be to little if used. Dont want to rub.
Let me know.
Thanks.
